"Lima, Peru (CNN) -- Peruvians will head to the polls Sunday in a tight race that centers on how to best manage Peru's robust economic growth.",
"Peru can expect growth of 7% this year, according to the World Bank, and is one of the fastest-growing economies in Latin America.",
"The country overcame the global financial crisis relatively unharmed, maintaining GDP growth, employment creation and poverty reduction, according Peru's ministry of economics and finance.",
"The good news comes with high expectations from Peruvians, who want to see the rewards of this progress in tangible ways in their lives.",
"While the economy as a whole has done well, salaries have remained depressed during the same period.",
"So the big question for Peruvians this Sunday is, who will make the most of the recent combination of good macroeconomic management and high commodity prices?",
"They have five main choices who are so close in the polls that pollsters anticipate there will be a second round of voting.",
"But it is impossible to predict which two candidates will make it to the second round.",
"Peruvian law forbids the publishing of poll numbers one week prior to election day, but the trend from all pollsters previously was a rise for Ollanta Humala, who entered the final stretch as the leader of the pack.",
"The nationalist Humala represents the most radical departure from the rest of the pack.",
"The former army officer, who participated in a failed uprising in 2000, lost to current President Alan Garcia in the second round of the last presidential elections.",
"His previous presidential bid was sunk in part because of accusations that he admired and would emulate Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, who embarked on a socialist reorganization of his country.",
"Humala denies that he would follow in Chavez's footsteps, and has portrayed himself as an admirer of former Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who represented a more center-left position.",
"\"I think (Humala) has tried much harder to appear more moderate, more centered,\" analyst Giovanna Penaflor said.",
"Running close to him is Keiko Fujimori, the daughter of disgraced former President Alberto Fujimori.",
"At 36, she is the youngest of the candidates.",
"At 19, she was the country's first lady for her father.",
"\"She is young, which is both a positive and negative characteristic,\" Penaflor said.",
"\"It puts her close to a very important segment of voters, but it detracts from her experience.\"",
"Critics have accused her of campaigning more to free her father, who is serving multiple, concurrent 25-year sentences, but she says that his case should rest on decisions from the judiciary, not the executive.",
"Another former president, Alejandro Toledo, also has the potential to advance to the second round.",
"Toledo, who was the face of the opposition to Fujimori, championed market-oriented policies that helped Peru grow during his term from 2001 to 2006, but was unpopular in the polls.",
"He is enjoying a resurgence of popularity that he is riding into this weekend's elections.",
"Pedro Pablo Kuczynski is another surging candidate.",
"The economist is a one-time minister of energy and mines, minister of economy, and prime minister.",
"In addition to his Peruvian citizenship he holds an American one, which has been the source of criticism.",
"But Kuczynski has embraced his Peruvian nationality on the campaign trail, even adopting the cuy, a Peruvian guinea pig served as a traditional dish, as his mascot.",
"The final leading candidate is Luis Castaneda, a former mayor of Lima.",
"\"He is an efficient and successful public administrator that has done works for the good of the community, and Lima has recognized that with a very high approval rating,\" analyst Luis Benavente said.",
"\"But in the campaign, he was unable to turn it into a national symbol.\"",
"The top two vote-getters would face each other in a runoff on June 5.",
"Journalist Maria Elena Belaunde contributed to this report."

"New York (CNN) -- The head of the National Black Farmers Association renewed his call Tuesday for Congress to fund a historic discrimination case settlement involving minority farmers.",
"He slammed the sharply divided Senate for repeatedly stripping funding provisions from different bills, and urged President Obama to call for a decisive vote on the measure by the end of September.",
"\"Suffering is an understatement of what is going on with black farmers,\" John Boyd said in front of a federal courthouse in lower Manhattan.",
"We \"are tired of waiting.\"",
"Boyd said black farmers are losing land at a rate three times faster than other agricultural workers.",
"He said that it takes nearly 400 days to process a black farmer's loan request at the Agriculture Department, compared with less than 30 days for white farmers.",
"\"Congress has money for everything -- to bail out banks, Wall Street, AIG, everybody,\" he said.",
"But \"we can't seem to get this done.",
"There is something terribly wrong with that picture.\"",
"Boyd showed up in front of the courthouse with a mule -- a reference to Civil War-era promises of assistance for freed African-American slaves.",
"Last month, the U.S. Senate failed to approve $1.25 billion for the settlement between the U.S. Agriculture Department and black farmers, prompting finger-pointing by members of both parties and outrage among many black farmers.",
"\"We are very, very, very disappointed that we are just caught up in such a larger political fight in the Senate, where it's just partisan division,\" Boyd said after the August 5 outcome.",
"A 1997 case against the Agriculture Department, Pigford v. Glickman, was settled out of court 11 years ago, but tens of thousands of farmers missed the filing deadline to submit claims.",
"As a senator, Obama sponsored a measure in the 2008 Farm Bill that reopened the case, known as Pigford II.",
"The $1.25 billion settlement is owed to the farmers after years of being denied government farm loans and support from federal programs because of the color of their skin.",
"Under a federal judge's terms dating to 1999, qualified farmers could receive $50,000 each to settle claims of racial bias.",
"In February, the Department of Justice released a statement saying Attorney General Eric Holder and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack were announcing a resolution to Pigford II.",
"The statement said the settlement agreement is contingent on the appropriation of funds by Congress.",
"\"Following the appropriation, class members may pursue their individual claims through a non-judicial claims process in front of a neutral arbitrator,\" the Justice Department statement said.",
"\"Claimants who establish their credit-related claims will be entitled to receive up to $50,000 and debt relief.",
"A separate track may provide actual damages of up to $250,000 through a more rigorous process.",
"The actual value of awards may be reduced based on the total amount of funds made available and the number of successful claims.\"",
"Prominent members of both parties have voiced support for paying out the settlements.",
"In July, the House approved a war supplemental funding bill that included money to pay for the settlement.",
"But the attempt to approve the funds in August failed in the Senate.",

"(CNN) -- Clinging to Scotland's rugged east coast is a golf course so tough it once reduced Sergio Garcia to tears.",
"Just imagine what it could do to a hopeless weekend hacker.",
"Aspiring basketball players may struggle to ever play at Madison Square Gardens, but one of the world's most historic golf courses is open to all comers.",
"Ben Hogan, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods have walked its fairways.",
"And so have I. That's the beauty of golf; you don't have to imagine.",
"If you've got $220 spare you can take your clubs to Carnoustie and discover firsthand why the locals call it \"Carnasty.\"",
"\"We get golfers of all abilities, from pros to relative beginners,\" said Rod Soutar, who's been a caddy at Carnoustie for 30 years.",
"\"You just hope they can relax and enjoy it.\"",
"This relative beginner was far from relaxed as I stood before the packed clubhouse terrace, preparing for the most terrifying tee shot of my life.",
"\"Watch out for the thick rough on the right, the out of bounds to the left and the bunkers up ahead,\" said my caddy with no hint of irony.",
"She didn't mention that there were also a hundred or so people standing by ready to burst into laughter if the predicted shank ensued.",
"\"It's all about having realistic expectations,\" said Souter, who caddied for Tiger Woods at the 1996 Scottish Open.",
"\"The problem a lot of golfers have is they want to go home and tell their friends 'I shot a 69 at Carnoustie,' but it's not going to happen.",
"\"I've had golfers throwing clubs in frustration -- and even heard of people walking off the course in the middle of a round.",
"They want to play to their handicap, but they don't realize how much more difficult that is here.\"",
"Carnoustie has hosted seven British Opens and is regularly ranked the most difficult golf course on the planet.",
"In 1999 conditions were so tough a 19-year-old Garcia had to be comforted by his mother after shooting an 89.",
"But that doesn't put off the thousands of golfing tourists who make the pilgrimage every year.",
"\"Amateur golfers want to play famous courses like Carnoustie and St. Andrews whatever the weather,\" said Scott Hart, who owns tour operator Golf Scotland.",
"\"They know to expect a tough time on the links courses, but they're prepared for it.",
"And they must be enjoying it, because they keep coming back.",
"We've never had an unsatisfied customer.\"",
"My round started with a double-bogey six, which my caddy tactfully told me was still one better than Garcia managed in 1999.",
"But that was where the rain started and the comparison ended.",
"Zig-zagging the fairways and finding almost every pot bunker on the course, I got the full \"Carnasty\" experience.",
"My poor caddy was put through quite an ordeal, but as it turns out it could have been worse.",
"\"I once had a guy turn up on a corporate day who'd never hit a ball in his life,\" Soutar said.",
"\"He was wearing Caterpillar work boots and he really hacked it up the first.",
"I think he scored 160-odd in the end, and that was without me calling any of the penalties on him.",
"\"Caddies actually enjoy that kind of thing.",
"We have a warped sense of humor and we like to see who can caddy the worst score.",
"The all-time record is something like 180 I think.\"",
"My Carnoustie experience culminated in a sunset walk down the last, the scene of Jean van de Velde's infamous implosion at the 1999 British Open, where the likes of Hogan, Tom Watson, Gary Player and Padraig Harrington lifted the iconic Claret Jug.",
"Suddenly a torrid day on the golf course made perfect sense.",
"When a weekend hacker gets the chance to walk in the footsteps of golfing legend it really doesn't matter what your card looks like (for the record this 20 handicapper hit 108).",
"If it does, you're in for a miserable time.",

"(CNN) -- A report from Amnesty International says the wave of popular unrest sweeping North Africa and the Middle East makes this a critical time for the human rights movement -- one that could result in historic gains by freedom-loving, tech-savvy people or distressing setbacks if oppressive regimes clamp down on activists and stay in power.",
"The report, which coincides with the advocacy group's 50th anniversary, documents what it claims are cases of torture, unwarranted imprisonment, restrictions on freedom of expression and other alleged abuses around the world.",
"France, for example, is among those countries called out for its restrictions on predominantly Muslim women wearing veils.",
"Amnesty also challenges China over its alleged repression of free expression, notes the dire conditions for pregnant women in Afghanistan and points to difficulties wrought by violence in parts of Africa.",
"Yet the so-called \"Arab Spring\" is front-and-center in the report, with its authors singling out the popular movements against generally long-entrenched administrations as a time of great promise and danger.",
"Throngs of mostly young people helped to peacefully oust heads of state in Egypt and Tunisia, while governments in countries such as Syria, Yemen, Bahrain and Libya have thus far resisted similar attempts -- killing civilians in the process, according to Amnesty.",
"\"Not since the end of the Cold War have so many oppressive governments faced such a challenge to their stranglehold of power,\" Salil Shetty, Amnesty's leader, said in a press release.",
"\"The demand for political and economic rights spreading across the Middle East and North Africa is dramatic proof that all rights are equally important and a universal demand.\"",
"But William Aceves, a California Western School of Law professor, said one factor distinguishing what happened in Egypt and Tunisia -- where mass popular movements helped unseat Egypt's Hosni Mubarak and Tunisia's Zine El-Abidine Ben Ali, who had led their countries for 30 and 23 years respectively -- from the institution of new governments in places like Afghanistan is that there is less outside control of what happens next.",
"That could mean such nation's new governments -- perhaps after democratic elections -- could choose to restrict women's, immigrants or others' rights.",
"If so, these popular revolutions could put those groups promoting human rights in a tough spot.",
"\"The question is what happens if you have a democratization process that doesn't lead to greater civil liberties,\" said Aceves, who has worked with Amnesty International and other human rights groups through the course of his career.",
"\"(Popular revolutions) don't always lead to good things.\"",
"Worse yet is what might happen if those pushing for change in places like Yemen, Syria, Bahrain and Iran fail after being beat back by ruling governments, human rights advocates say.",
"Some leaders such as Libya's Moammar Gadhafi may become more defiant in the face of outside and internal opposition, while others may be emboldened if they survive popular dissent, experts say.",
"The part of Amnesty's report about the Middle East and North Africa highlighted what it called \"governments' preoccupation with their political security, but neglect of their people's human security and failure to uphold the human rights on which it depends.\"",
"Already, these popular pushes for new governments have come at a stiff human cost.",
"\"Those calls for democracy have led to violence,\" said Aceves, noting the real danger to human lives when people push for major reforms.",
"\"There have been deaths in the thousands.\"",
"Another challenge for groups like Amnesty is determining how to promote a pro-rights agenda in places with authoritarian leaders and little in the way of democratic institutions or history.",
"In its report, Amnesty touts technology, specifically social networking tools like Twitter and Facebook, with being a powerful, non-violent tool that didn't exist years ago.",
"This allows people to circumvent censorship and communicate directly with one another, on an even platform.",
"\"Information is a source of power, and for those challenging the abuse of power by states and other institutions, it is an exciting time,\" Shetty writes in the Amnesty report.",
"But Aceves said that, at some point, rights' groups may have to wrestle with the merit of backing military efforts to overthrow totalitarian regimes.",
"That might mean supporting airstrikes in Libya, for instance, that could lead to civilian casualties.",
"The Amnesty report makes a point to stress that its accounts of human rights abuses -- and the need for a movement to prevent them -- are not confined to the Middle East and North Africa.",
"In 2010 alone, the group said it has documented specific cases of \"torture and other ill-treatment\" in 98 countries.\"",
"Its investigators, moreover, have recorded or investigated human rights abuses in 157 countries and territories.",
"Amnesty alleges, for instance, that \"virtually any form of dissent was suppressed in Turkmenistan,\" while law enforcement were said to have attacked \"human rights defenders\" in Ukraine.",
"The group alleges discrimination against immigrants in parts of mainland Europe, criticizing efforts to deport people in need.",
"Crackdowns on journalists working to unearth corruption was a problem in many nations, according to Amnesty.",
"Nearly 400 journalists were threatened or attacked last year in Latin America alone, the report contends.",
"\"There has not been any accountability,\" said Javier Zuniga, a special adviser on human rights at Amnesty, on what has happened in parts of Central South America.",
"\"That's why the situation is so bad so now, because that culture of impunity has been very, very unchanged.\"",
"Despite all the documented problems and challenges, Shetty -- Amnesty's secretary-general -- voices optimism that popular movements will ultimately prevail, with human rights becoming an even more universally recognized and realized value.",
"\"The call for justice, freedom and dignity has evolved into a global demand that grows stronger every day,\" he said.",
"\"The genie is out of the bottle, and the forces of repression cannot put it back.\"",
"CNN's Greg Botelho and Catherine Shoichet contributed to this report."

"(CNN) -- Ireland's Kevin O'Brien scored the fastest century in cricket World Cup history to help his country claim a sensational three-wicket Group B victory over England in Bangalore.",
"O'Brien reached the magical three figures in just 50 balls, smashing the previous best mark of 66 deliveries set by Australia's Matthew Hayden against South Africa in 2007.",
"The 26-year-old O'Brien hit six sixes and 13 fours on his way to 113, helping Ireland reach 329 for seven with five balls to spare, in reply to England's total of 327 for eight from their 50 overs.",
"As well as O'Brien's remarkable innings, Ireland's victory marked the highest second innings run chase in World Cup history -- beating Sri Lanka's 313 against Zimbabwe in New Zealand in 1992 .",
"Speaking after collecting his man-of-the-match award, O'Brien -- who also played in Ireland's famous 2007 World Cup win over Pakistan -- said: \"I don't think it's quite sunk in.",
"\"It's probably the best innings I've ever played.",
"I just hit the ball pretty well and got a bit of luck and things went my way.",
"I just kept going and kept attacking.\"",
"England came into the match as hot favorites following their thrilling tie against India on Sunday and they looked to be firmly in control when Ireland were reduced to 111 for five.",
"But O'Brien and Alex Cusack went on to score 162 in a superb six-wicket stand before Cusack was eventually run out for 47.",
"However, O'Brien remained at the crease and when he was eventually dismissed with the score on 317, also by run out, Ireland needed just 12 runs from two more overs to secure a famous success.",
"England captain Andrew Strauss told reporters: \"We thought we'd done a reasonable job with the bat and we got Ireland at five down and things were looking pretty comfortable.",
"\"But we weren't reckoning on an outstanding innings from Kevin O'Brien.",
"It was pretty brutal.\"",
"Earlier, England's Jonathan Trott equalled the record for the fastest 1,000 runs in one-day internationals.",
"Trott's score of 92 meant he joined team-mate Kevin Pietersen and West Indies legend Viv Richards in taking just 21 innings to achieve that feat."

"Clearwater, Florida (CNN) -- A Florida judge dismissed a batch of potential jurors in the Casey Anthony murder trial Tuesday because several members had discussed the case in the jury room.",
"The ruling from Orange County Superior Court Chief Judge Belvin Perry Jr. came in the second day of jury selection in the trial of Anthony, 25, who is charged with capital murder in the death of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee.",
"Perry asked the individuals whether another potential juror talked or asked about the case, and whether it went beyond just a reference to the case.",
"At least a dozen raised their hand when asked if someone had spoken to them about Casey Anthony.",
"\"Through no fault of your own I think it's best I let you go and return back to the central jury room,\" said Perry, who asked for more jury candidates Wednesday.",
"The judge and lawyers are questioning potential jurors in groups of 50.",
"They need 12 jurors and eight alternates.",
"Perry tied the jury panel problem to a person, listed as a witness in the case, who had also been summoned for jury duty.",
"That individual spoke with others in the jury room, the judge said.",
"Concerns over Anthony receiving a fair trial led to the jury selection proceedings being moved to the Clearwater, Florida, courthouse, about 100 miles southwest of Orlando.",
"Caylee's grandmother first reported her missing in Orlando in 2008, weeks after the girl was last seen, and five months before her body was found.",
"Authorities moved the proceedings to Clearwater hoping to draw from a jury pool that was less likely to have seen and been influenced by the intense media coverage surrounding the case.",
"Once jury selection is complete, the jurors will be transported to Orlando's Orange County for the trial, which is now scheduled to start May 17.",
"Perry and lawyers have been asking jurors about possible hardships in hearing the capital case.",
"\"Our system of justice depends on people like you willing to serve,\" the judge said Monday.",
"\"You are being asked to perform one of the highest duties of citizenship.\"",
"Many excused jurors cited financial hardship -- saying they or their family would suffer if they couldn't work for two months.",
"Others said they had to take care of loved ones.",
"On a lighter note, a woman claimed hardship Tuesday due to her concern about a teen son who lives at home and worries about another son, 29, possibly throwing parties while she is on duty.",
"Jurors also will be asked, one by one, for their take on the death penalty, which Casey Anthony would be eligible for if convicted on the murder charge.",
"Lastly, the jurors will be quizzed on their knowledge of the case and other positions -- including if they have an opinion, prior to the trial, on Anthony's guilt or innocence.",
"Throughout the selection process, Perry can weigh arguments from members of Anthony's legal team and state prosecutors and decide to exclude certain men and women from the jury pool.",
"Casey Anthony also faces six other charges, including aggravated child abuse, aggravated manslaughter of a child and misleading law enforcement.",

"(CNN) -- Sony Computer Entertainment is making a big play in internet-connected hand-held gaming with a 3G-enabled PlayStation portable system and smartphone game platform unveiled Thursday.",
"In addition to cell and Wi-Fi chips for accessing online services, the new PlayStation gadget looks like its predecessor but has a 5-inch touch-screen and a second analog stick, which is useful for controlling first-person shooters like \"Call of Duty.\"",
"Speaking of which, \"Call of Duty,\" alongside other gun-play franchises like \"Killzone\" and \"Resistance,\" will have versions for the new system.",
"Other games include \"Uncharted,\" \"LittleBigPlanet\" and \"Wipeout.\"",
"Games come on memory cards, and some can be downloaded directly to the device.",
"Sony is doing away with the mini discs it pushed with the original PlayStation Portable.",
"The new system is tentatively being called Next Generation Portable, or NGP, but that will likely change before it launches late this year.",
"Weirdly, NGP also has a touch-sensitive pad on the back of the device, which game developers can consider when thinking up all kids of wacky applications.",
"Motorola, another mobile hardware maker, tried something similar with the Backflip smartphone, but the concept didn't take off.",
"The PlayStation system's finger-friendly back is really the frosting on an array of sweetly stacked ingredients in this high-tech gadget.",
"The system has a blazing fast, quad-core processor to help move those graphic-intensive games.",
"It has cameras on the front and rear and a microphone.",
"There are also sensors inside for detecting location and motion, like those found in top-of-the-line smartphones.",
"With a holiday launch window still quite a long way off, Sony was mum on details such as a firm release date, price and, as you've probably noticed, a definitive name for the thing.",
"The announcement, made during a news conference in Tokyo, Japan, Thursday, didn't come as a surprise to gadget enthusiasts.",
"Several images of different hardware concepts leaked to blogs.",
"Peter Dille, a Sony executive, told CNN in October that the current PSP system is limited by not having cell connectivity.",

"Details were scarce, but the platform would presumably provide phones with access to high-quality games and perhaps movie downloads.",

"(CNN) -- Pandora is making some noise about its future plans.",
"Pandora Media aims to eventually expand its internet radio service to other countries and move into areas beyond music, such as news, talk and sports.",
"The long-term goals, along with illuminating details about the company's financials and adoption rates, were outlined in a proposal for an initial public offering filed on Friday.",
"The service, currently focused exclusively on music, is all about catering to each listener's unique tastes.",
"After signing up for an account, users can type in the names of favorite bands, and Pandora will create a customized radio station that spins similar songs.",
"But there are limitations, such as the number of tracks by a single musician that can be played during a set period.",
"While Pandora suggested that music will remain its core focus, the new filing shows that the company is looking to other areas for growth.",
"\"Many radio listeners are drawn to sports, talk, news and other forms of content beyond music,\" the company wrote.",
"\"We think there is an opportunity over the long term to offer these types of content in addition to music.\"",
"Pandora founder Tim Westergren named these as possible areas the service could cover in the future, he said in a little-seen video posted in August 2009.",
"Offering news, talk and sports content is \"something that we've talked quite a bit about as a company and something we intend to deliver to listeners eventually,\" Westergren said.",
"Not surprisingly, the service would personalize programming for each person.",
"In this case, the ZIP code tied to your account or information from your phone's GPS could trigger the service to provide local news or updates about a hometown sports team.",
"\"I think one of the very interesting things about doing that in an internet radio is we actually will know something about where you are,\" he said.",
"\"So we'll be able to deliver sports, weather, news that's actually relevant to your particular area.\"",
"Opening the service up to regions outside the United States is another long-term goal, the company said.",
"Spotify, another streaming music service that has a radio personalization component, has quickly dominated in the areas of Europe that it operates in.",
"The company is planning a U.S. expansion, which it projects will launch in \"coming months.\"",
"While Spotify already has a tight-knit relationship with Europe's music executives and has spent the last couple of years entrenched in negotiations with U.S. publishers and labels, Pandora's ties to the industry aren't as tight.",
"Pandora licenses the more than 800,000 tracks it has rights to play from a government agency, not directly from publishers.",
"In Pandora's IPO proposal, the company also included statistics about its rise.",
"More than 80 million people have registered to use the service.",
"On average, a user has created 17.5 stations, logged feedback in the form of 100 thumbs up or down song ratings, and listens to more than 10 hours per month.",
"Pandora generates much of its revenue from advertising but has yet to turn a profit."

"(CNN) -- There's a new URL in town, and it has the potential to help hundreds of thousands of unemployed Americans still trying to regain their footing in a slow economy.",
"The site, at www.universe.jobs and recently expanded by the DirectEmployers Association, is a clearinghouse of job listings that aims to create both a unified platform and one-stop shopping for both employers and employees.",
"What makes the initiative different from more commonly known sites such as monster.com and careerbuilder.com?",
"Employers pay big money on these sites in order to reach a broader audience.",
"The .jobs universe is free to both small and big business.",
"The aim, according to Tom Embrescia of Employ Media, which is the licensed operator of the .jobs doman, is to create \"a trusted, valued source where job seekers and the people who have the jobs -- the employers -- can connect seamlessly under one intuitive URL.\"",
"Here's how it works: . Companies build their own websites on the .jobs domain, and the sites are updated daily.",
"Potential employees can then search those listings, but they do so under specific links depending on both region and the type of work they seek.",
"For instance, a professional looking for new employment in the city of Boston would search under www.boston.jobs.",
"Atlanta? www.atlanta.jobs.",
"And so on. Cities with a population of 5,000 or above are searchable.",
"Only interested in listings in the technology field?",
"Type www.technology.jobs in your browser.",
"There were about 40,000 .jobs domains that were functioning at the end of January, all through universe.jobs.",
"According to Bill Warren, executive director of DirectEmployers -- a nonprofit human resources consortium -- 580 Fortune 1000 companies have already responded and are actively posting jobs on the site.",
"In turn, the passive or active job seeker will know that these listings come from a \"highly trusted source...where they can go and feel that they are not getting jobs that are duplicates or scams, older or expired jobs,\" Warren said.",
"Listings are updated at a minimum of once a day, and 41 states are currently represented on the site.",
"Eventually, programmers aim to expand throughout the globe.",
"Major corporations are responding.",
"Some, such as not-for-profit Providence Health Services, see this as a way for companies to look outside the realm of candidates they normally recruit, giving them a much broader audience, said Rhonda Stickley, a spokeswoman for the company providing health care services in Alaska, Washington state, Montana, Oregon and California.",
"And Brandy Ellis, a recruiter at Colorado-based Level 3 Communications, a provider of IP transit networks, said gone are the days when companies simply posted their listings and then looked around for ways to fill them.",
"Now, \"we're starting to build a talent pool of people that, even if you aren't right for that immediate job today...you might be in the future.",
"We are trying to change the way we approach the job seeker,\" Ellis said."

"New York (CNN) -- A new emergency alert system that sends notifications to cell phones in the event of a disaster or terrorist attack will be implemented in New York and Washington by the end of this year, officials said.",
"New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg on Tuesday unveiled PLAN, the Personal Localized Alerting Network, which is expected to provide residents with timely information \"alerting them to imminent safety threats in their area.\"",
"Mobile phone users will receive \"geographically targeted, text-like messages,\" according to a written statement from the Federal Communications Commission.",
"\"Every weekday our population of 8.4 million residents swells to more than 12 million as commuters and tourists come to town,\" Bloomberg told reporters.",
"\"Under the PLAN program, we'll be able to broadcast (emergency) messages to any of them who are within our target area.\"",
"Mobile customers will receive three types of alerts containing 90 characters or less, ranging from presidential alerts to child abduction bulletins.",
"Phone carriers may allow subscribers to block all but presidential alerts, officials said.",
"A special chip is needed to allow phones to receive the notifications, though many \"smart\" phones already have the new technology, said FCC spokesman Neil Grace.",
"\"We're a mobile society,\" said Craig Fugate, Federal Emergency Management Agency Administrator.",
"\"How many of us are sitting there listening to a radio or television when these (traditional) alerts come out?\"",
"\"This system will send it to your phone.\"",
"It will also be able to send messages when cell phone towers experience network congestion, overriding other calls in an effort to deliver the notification.",
"High mobile phone traffic and downed cell phone towers are considered primary reasons for service disruption in New York in the immediate aftermath of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.",
"\"There are many lessons to be learned from 9/11,\" said Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski.",
"\"One of them is that we were under-utilizing communications technologies in emergencies.\"",
"PLAN is expected to be expanded to the rest of the country by April 2012 and was made possible by a 2006 congressional bill called the Warning Alert and Response Network Act.",
"\"It would have been great if we had something like this available as recently as last month for the tornadoes in the south,\" Genachowski added.",

"Washington (CNN) -- Another air traffic controller apparently fell asleep while on duty, a problem that is prompting the government to put an extra staffer on midnight shifts at more than two dozen control towers across the country.",
"The latest incident occurred Wednesday morning at Reno-Tahoe International Airport in Nevada \"when a controller fell asleep while a medical flight carrying an ill patient was trying to land,\" the Federal Aviation Administration said.",
"The flight originated in Mammoth Lakes, California, according to the FAA Pacific Division.",
"\"The medical flight pilot was in communication with the Northern California Terminal Radar Approach Control and landed safely.",
"The controller, who was out of communication for approximately 16 minutes, has been suspended while the FAA investigates,\" the FAA said in a statement.",
"FAA Administrator Randy Babbitt expressed outrage, saying \"we absolutely cannot and will not tolerate sleeping on the job.",
"This type of unprofessional behavior does not meet our high safety standards.\"",
"\"This is absolutely unacceptable,\" said U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood.",
"It would be the sixth incident this year involving a sleeping controller that the FAA has disclosed.",
"One occurred at Ronald Reagan National Airport in Washington, another at McGhee Tyson Airport in Knoxville, Tennessee, and three incidents involving the same person occurred at Boeing Field/King County International Airport in Seattle.",
"The FAA said it also suspended two controllers in Lubbock, Texas, for an incident in the early hours of March 29 in which they failed to hand off control of a departing flight to the Fort Worth Air Traffic Control Center, and responded only after several attempts by the same center to hand them control of an arriving flight.",
"The FAA statement did not indicate whether the Lubbock controllers were thought to have been asleep.",
"Babbitt and LaHood said the FAA will assign an extra air traffic controller on the midnight shift at 27 control towers staffed with only one controller during that time.",
"The FAA said Babbitt and National Air Traffic Controllers Association President Paul Rinaldi \"are launching a nationwide 'Call to Action' on air traffic control safety and professionalism\" and will visit air traffic facilities to underscore the need for safety and professionalism.",
"The move will include \"an independent review of the FAA's air traffic control training curriculum and qualifications and the expansion of NATCA's Professional Standards committees.\"",
"The FAA is also reviewing staffing and scheduling.",
"Nevada's senior senator, Harry Reid, said it was \"a miracle that everyone is OK. We're glad that they are.\"",
"\"Last night's near-tragedy reminds us that state-of-the-art structures and the best technology work only as well as the people operating them,\" Reid said Wednesday on the Senate floor.",
"\"If those people fall asleep on the job, they risk the lives of the millions of Americans who fly into and out of our airports every day.\"",
"Krys Bart, president of Reno-Tahoe International Airport, said the pilot of the Sierra Life Flight plane -- a Piper Cheyenne twin turboprop -- tried to make contact with the Reno tower at about 2 a.m., but got no response and began to circle the airport.",
"After repeated failed attempts to reach someone in the tower, the pilot evaluated the situation and decided to land.",
"In his remarks on Capitol Hill, Reid said the pilot \"tried to call the tower not once or twice, but seven times.",
"The controller slept through every one of those calls.\"",
"A federal government source on Wednesday confirmed to CNN the figure of seven attempted calls to the tower.",
"Bart said it is her understanding that there was only one controller on duty at the time.",
"She added that she is pleased with the FAA's response, and issued a statement to clarify that air traffic control staffing is entirely in the federal agency's domain: .",
"\"We have a brand-new, state-of-the-art air traffic control tower, three runways and two instrument landing systems in place to help guide pilots on landing, take-off and ground control,\" Bart's statement said.",
"\"But what the airport has no control over is the staffing levels and personnel in the control tower.",
"... this is an FAA issue, the Airport Authority does not control what happens in the air traffic control tower.\"",
"However, Republican Rep. John L. Mica, who chairs the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, said the move to increase tower staffing \"misdirects our resources and focus away from congested air traffic control facilities.\"",
"\"Only in the federal government would you double up on workers, averaging $161,000 per year in salary and benefits, that aren't doing their job,\" the Florida congressman said.",
"Mica and other committee leaders plan to meet with FAA officials behind closed doors to discuss what his office described as \"a spate of near misses, runway incursions and incidents of sleeping on the job.\"",

"Team Leopard rider Weylandt dies in Giro d'Italia crash .",
"Leopard-Trek's remaining eight-man squad came over the finish line together, accompanied by Garmin rider Tyler Farrar, a training partner and close friend of Weylandt.",
"And Farrar issued a statement saying: \"I am unbearably saddened by the loss of Wouter.",
"As many know, he was my friend, training partner, and in many ways, another brother to me.",
"\"His death marks an irreparable change in my life but more importantly, in the lives of his family and most loved.",
"\"I can only convey my deepest of sympathies to everyone who cared about him as deeply as I did, especially his family, his friends, his team and his fans -- we celebrate his life and mourn his death in equal measure.\"",
"Farrar, who lived near to Weylandt in the Belgian city of Ghent, had already decided to leave the race following his friend's death and, late on Tuesday evening, the remaining Leopard-Trek riders also issued a statement saying they too were withdrawing from the race.",
"\"The decision really needed to be taken by the riders, because they are the ones that participate in the race,\" said Leopard team manager Brian Nygaard.",
"\"We have always said that we would stand behind their choice.",
"We wish to thank the other teams, the race organization, the Italian authorities and all the fans on the road between Genova and Livorno on today's stage, as the peloton paid tribute to Wouter.\"",

"\"We have a lot of respect for the Giro d'Italia and for cycling, but we simply cannot continue racing given the circumstances.",
"We are professional athletes, but we feel this is the right thing to do.\"",

"Dr. Mannucci concluded that Weylandt suffered fatal skull and facial injuries as well as damage to his pelvis and a broken leg after the accident -- which is believed to have occurred when the rider's left pedal briefly touched a wall at the side of the road, propelling him 20 meters to the ground below where he landed heavily on his face.",

"(CNN) -- New Wave rockers The Cars are on the road again, the first time in nearly 25 years.",
"Their mission? To bring their brand of quirky, syncopated pop music to a new generation.",
"The new album \"Move Like This\" hits shelves, or your favorite download site, Tuesday -- the same day the band begins an 11-city, coast-to-coast tour.",
"So, how does the new model of The Cars sound?",
"\"I think it sounds like The Cars in 2011,\" keyboardist Greg Hawkes said of the band that formed in Boston in 1976.",
"\"It sounds like a modern album, yet it sounds like The Cars.\"",
"It's hard to argue with Hawkes.",
"The first two songs -- \"Blue Tip\" and \"Sad Song\" -- off the new album sound instantly familiar.",
"The Cars always have been a bouncy combination of understated guitars, layered synthesizers, punchy rhythm section and songwriter Ric Ocasek's often-cryptic lyrics dancing among them.",
"The genesis of the project began nearly a year and a half ago.",
"\"I think about January of last year, I got a call from Ric saying, 'What do you think about doing a Cars album?'",
"I was surprised to say the least,\" Hawkes said.",
"As lead singer and primary songwriter, Ocasek was key to any Cars reunion.",
"\"I think he sort of had a lot of songs that he had written and was sort of getting a backlog of material,\" Hawkes said.",
"\"I think he was just thinking that a lot of them just might work in the context of a new Cars album.\"",
"Ocasek stayed busy in the interim years, recording six solo projects and producing albums by a variety of artists, including Weezer, Guided by Voices and Bad Religion.",
"The Cars were a radio staple in the late 1970s and early 1980s, with hits like \"Just What I Needed,\" \"Drive,\" and \"You Might Think.\"",
"The band's eye-catching videos also were a hit in MTV's formative years.",
"The combination fueled more than 23 million in U.S. album sales, according to figures tallied by the Recording Industry Association of America.",
"The recording sessions were the first for the band since bass player and vocalist Ben Orr died from cancer in 2000, making The Cars a four-piece band.",
"In addition to Hawkes and Ocasek, the other original members are Elliot Easton on guitar and drummer David Robinson.",
"\"We missed him a lot,\" Hawkes said.",
"\"We were talking about him a lot during the time that we were recording.",
"His presence was definitely missed.\"",
"In Orr's absence, Hawkes took over bass duties in the studio.",
"The Cars enlisted producer Garret \"Jacknife\" Lee for the project, who like Ocasek had worked with Weezer, to get the band motoring again.",
"\"To have an outside producer helped,\" according to Hawkes.",
"\"It was a good way to get us working with each other.\"",
"The result is 10 new Cars songs, half produced by Lee and the rest by the band.",
"The trick with The Cars, Hawkes said, is for each member to add their own musical personality to the Ocasek-penned songs.",
"\"I usually go in with a few sort of things that I want to do or try,\" he said.",
"\"The other inspiration sort of comes from spur of the moment kind of messing with sounds and seeing what fits with the track as it gets created.\"",
"But will any of their old fans be waiting after a quarter-century hiatus?",
"\"I guess there is that danger,\" acknowledged Hawkes, who said he's up for the challenge of trying \"to win over some new ones.\"",
"The Cars also are attempting their comeback in a music industry that has largely imploded since the band's last album in 1987.",
"The companies that market music are mere skeletons of their former selves as the digital age has changed the dynamics.",
"\"The Internet has made it so that a lot of bands are kind of making it on their own through their use of the Internet, without a traditional record company,\" Hawkes said.",
"The new album is being released through Hear Music, a joint venture between Concord Music Group and Starbucks.",
"The java chain is also marketing music by Paul Simon, Bonnie Raitt and K.D.",
"Lang. \"It's kind of hard for me to know exactly where The Cars are going fit into that whole strange new world,\" Hawkes added with a chuckle.",
"\"Hopefully there are a lot of people who will be curious to hear what The Cars are up to these days.\"",

"Baghdad, Iraq (CNN) -- Politicians and foreign diplomats said they were doggedly working Friday to salvage a newly-minted Iraqi government power-sharing deal, a long-awaited agreement that threatened to unravel just hours after it was announced with great fanfare.",
"Mahmoud Othman, an Iraqi Kurdish lawmaker, told CNN mediation efforts by Kurdish officials, Americans and the Arab League began Thursday after a dramatic walkout by Sunni Arab lawmakers and will continue ahead of Saturday's scheduled parliament session.",
"Saying that the walkout stemmed from political misunderstandings and deep distrust among politicians, Othman said he hopes the power-sharing agreement will not fall through, but if the situation is \"not amended\" and \"they don't come back I am afraid it will.\"",
"Othman believes that Saturday's session will be a key indicator of the deal, hammered out to meet the demands of Shiites, Sunni Arabs and Kurds.",
"The compromise announced Thursday was designed to end an eight months' long stalemate that drew fears of a resurgence in sectarian and insurgent violence in Iraq.",
"The Sunni walkout, staged by lawmakers in the Iraqiya bloc, was prompted by what it said was the failure of parliament to actually cast a vote on the power-sharing agreement.",
"It threatened to undermine political amity and lead to the formation of a government without adequate Sunni representation.",
"The squabbling, regarded as a political hiccup by some politicians, was considered possible disaster by others.",
"President Barack Obama and other U.S. officials praised the power-sharing agreement.",
"\"There are still challenges to overcome, but all indications are that the government will be representative, inclusive and reflect the will of the Iraqi people who cast their ballots in the last election,\" Obama said at a Friday news conference at the G-20 summit in Seoul, South Korea.",
"But Ayad Allawi, the former Iraqi prime minister who heads the Sunni-backed and cross-sectarian Iraqiya, told CNN that he scorned what he viewed as a political double-cross.",
"\"This is a new dictatorship that is happening in Iraq,\" said Allawi, a secular Shiite who walked out with his Sunni allies.",
"Under the proposed deal, the three major governmental positions were to have been filled by three members of the country's largest ethnic groups -- the Shiites, the Kurds and the Sunni Arabs.",
"Politicians forged a compromise that left Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, a Shiite, and Jalal Talabani, the Kurdish president, in power for another term.",
"The deal created a powerful new office that was expected to be headed by Allawi, his rival.",
"That office would be called the National Council for Strategic Policies and it would be a check on al-Maliki's power.",
"Iraqiya also issued demands, including that legislators pass a law within 30 days forming the national council and form a committee to review the files of people illegally detained, a great concern for Sunni Arabs who have accused Iraq's Shiite-dominated government of persecuting them.",
"It also called for a final agreement on outstanding legislation and for canceling a ban on several Sunni Arab politicians from running in elections.",
"Those politicians have been accused of ties to Saddam Hussein's outlawed Baathist movement.",
"After lawmakers elected Talabani for a second term, the president gave al-Maliki 30 to 45 days to form a government.",
"Parliament also elected Osama al-Nujaifi, a Sunni Arab from the Iraqiya bloc, to be the parliament speaker.",
"But Sunnis walked out when parliament didn't accept its demand for a vote on the actual power-sharing agreement and decided to go ahead and make the key vote for a president.",
"Shiite lawmakers said the vote for power-sharing couldn't be taken because it was not on the agenda, but Allawi disputed this.",
"\"The proceedings were going in the right way.",
"Then suddenly they said we are going to elect the president,\" Allawi said.",
"\"We said, 'Wait a minute here we agreed that there are points that we agreed that are going to be announced and voted on.'",
"\" \"I was very surprised, I was extremely surprised.",
"This agreement was done after talking to Obama, the Arab League.\"",
"Allawi said.",
"\"It's a joke in a way. What this reflects really, it reflects the intentions of these guys.",
"They don't have the intention to really work on a power sharing formula.\"",
"\"We don't want to be puppets for a government that does not respect the will of the people, that does not respect power sharing.",
"After all the compromises I am not going to be a puppet running around being a false witness to history.\"",
"But Othman said what happened in parliament Thursday was a result of a \"misunderstanding\" between the country's leaders.",
"He said al-Iraqiya was under the impression that a U.S. -brokered agreement between al-Maliki, the Kurdish region's president, Massoud Barazani and Allawi would be formalized in a parliamentary vote, while the other blocs thought it was a political deal that would not go to parliament.",
"Othman said the scenario on Thursday reflected a state of \"widespread mistrust\" among the political groups and a result of hasty negotiations and a deal that was put together very quickly.",
"He said while Iraqiya had the right to demand a parliamentary vote, he said their timing was off kilter.",
"He said Iraqiya got its choice for speaker elected and it should have waited for the Talabani to be voted on before pushing for their demands.",
"Allawi said on Friday he expects the boycott to continue and that he doesn't see himself accepting a role in the new government.",
"\"I personally have made up my mind.",
"I will not be a part of this theater,\" he said.",
"\"I am thinking of forming a council for opposition from inside parliament to start building the issues that we think are right for this country and to use all possible peaceful means to achieve the objectives.\"",

"(CNN) -- Rebel forces defending the Libyan city of Misrata from government troops are making \"meter-by-meter\" gains despite heavy shelling and rocket attacks, a Western journalist inside the city said Tuesday.",
"Units that remain loyal to longtime Libyan strongman Moammar Gadhafi have been firing rockets and artillery shells into residential neighborhoods, leaving a nearby emergency room full of women, children and old men, Marie Colvin, the Middle East correspondent for Britain's Sunday Times, told CNN.",
"\"The rebels are very much trying at a minimum to push back Gadhafi's lines so he simply can't do that,\" Colvin said.",
"Meanwhile, the rebels are asking why NATO forces aren't targeting the pro-Gadhafi gunners.",
"NATO warplanes and missiles have been pounding Gadhafi's forces since March as Gadhafi's troops try to quash a nearly 3-month-old revolt against his regime.",
"In Misrata, two months of fighting and the ongoing shelling of the city's port have prevented most aid ships from docking there, leaving the city \"at the forefront\" of U.N. humanitarian concerns, a top U.N. official told the Security Council on Monday.",
"A ship carrying aid from the International Committee of the Red Cross docked in Misrata on Tuesday, but the ongoing fighting has deterred many captains from trying to enter the port, Colvin said.",
"The ICRC said the vessel carried medical supplies, spare parts to repair water and electrical supply systems and 8,000 jars of baby food.",
"Meanwhile, on the front lines of the battle, bullets are whizzing past \"like very angry hornets,\" Colvin said.",

"Washington (CNN) -- Retired Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens has voiced support for the killing of al Qaeda terrorist leader Osama bin Laden by U.S. forces, saying it was legally justified.",
"In remarks Thursday evening at his alma mater, Northwestern University, the 91-year-old former justice said the order by President Barack Obama for the covert mission by U.S. Navy SEALs was \"to remove an enemy who had been trying every day to attack the United States,\" according to two people who attended a symposium and dinner that was closed to the media.",
"Stevens said he was pleased the president took the risky decision to launch the May 2 commando assault on bin Laden's compound in Pakistan.",
"The justice added, \"I must say I was very proud of the SEALs.\"",
"No sitting member of the Supreme Court has commented on the bin Laden killing and is not likely to, since current or related executive branch issues may someday come before them.",
"There have been legal questions surrounding whether U.S. and international law would permit a unilateral executive decision to kill a terrorist leader with no ties to any government.",
"Attorney General Eric Holder said the day after the mission, \"It's lawful to target an enemy commander in the field.\"",
"As founder and head of al Qaeda, bin Laden was viewed by the administration as a combatant actively involved in past and current hostilities against the United States and other countries.",
"The insistence by Obama officials that the killing was justified come despite bin Laden not being armed when commandos stormed his third-floor room.",
"Those officials insist the Saudi native \"resisted\" and made no clear indication he would surrender.",
"Stevens said based on his knowledge of the facts, \"I haven't the slightest doubt it was entirely appropriate for American forces to act\" as they did.",
"\"It was not merely to do justice and avenge September 11.\"",
"The Wall Street Journal Law Blog first reported Stevens' remarks.",
"He stepped down from the high court last year after nearly 35 years on the bench, and was replaced by Justice Elena Kagan.",
"Unusually for a retired justice, he has been outspoken on current hot-button cases his former colleagues are considering and on other news events.",
"He voiced support in November for a planned Islamic community center near the site of the September 11 terrorist attacks in New York, urging religious and ethnic tolerance.",
"He announced this week he has almost completed writing a memoir of sorts, a look at the five chief justices he has known and worked with over the past 64 years.",
"Called the \"Five Chiefs,\" and to be published by Little Brown this October, the book will also give an inside look at the court and Stevens' personal insights on colleagues past and present, including current Chief Justice John Roberts.",

"Clearwater, Florida (CNN) -- After another marathon session of questioning about everything from their news-watching habits to criminal records, the Florida jury that could decide Casey Anthony's fate started rounding into shape Friday.",
"By day's end, eight men and women had made it through various stages of the process at the Pinellas County courthouse and were still considered viable candidates to be on the jury in the trial of the Florida mother accused of killing her toddler.",
"A total of 12 -- plus eight alternates -- will eventually be seated on the jury, which will be moved to and sequestered in Orange County, where the alleged crime happened and where the trial will take place.",
"Friday marked the fifth day of jury selection in the case.",
"Anthony, 25, is charged with capital murder in the death of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee.",
"She faces six other charges, including aggravated child abuse, aggravated manslaughter of a child and misleading law enforcement.",
"Jury selection was moved from Orlando to Clearwater amid concerns that the intense media attention surrounding the case could make it difficult to select an impartial jury in Orange County.",
"While the process this week has gone somewhat slower than expected -- as evidenced by the fact court proceedings will likely go through 5 p.m. Saturday -- Orange County Superior Court Chief Judge Belvin Perry Jr. said Friday that it is imperative to seat a jury as quickly as possible.",
"\"The cry was pretrial publicity.",
"In a free society, I cannot stop the press from reporting, broadcasting, and reporting,\" said Perry, the presiding judge in the case, explaining the need to pick a jury in Clearwater soon, before more potential jurors are swayed by the media coverage.",
"\"The longer we wait, the more dangers there are.\"",
"Once there are 12 jurors, Perry will ask the defense and prosecution teams if they want to use their preemptory challenges -- allowing them, at the judge's discretion, to disqualify certain men or women from the jury pool.",
"If they opt not to use the challenges, jurors can be sworn in.",
"The goal is to have everything finalized for opening arguments Tuesday in Orlando.",
"That would be followed by testimony by investigators, experts and others involved in the case -- including Casey Anthony's father, mother and brother, who have testified in pretrial hearings.",
"But this week, it's been potential jurors who have been grilled on the stand.",
"As they did Thursday, defense attorneys asked them whether they'd be willing to take into account \"verbal, emotional or sexual abuse,\" should they convict Anthony and be asked to decide whether to give her the death penalty.",
"Besides the \"history of sexual abuse,\" the defense also hinted again Friday that Anthony's \"dysfunctional family\" might be proposed as a \"mitigating circumstance\" if she is convicted of murder, as might be \"a lack of impulse control or brain development.\"",
"The comments touched again on the Anthony family's rocky relationship with one another.",
"Casey Anthony made allegations of sex abuse against her father and brother in a letter from jail last year.",
"In an interview with NBC News afterward, her father, George Anthony, denied the claims and criticized Jose Baez, another of his daughter's attorneys, for questioning him about the allegations.",
"Friday's questioning also delved into the prospective jurors' knowledge of the Anthony case, including what and from where they had heard about it.",
"Caylee was last seen in June 2008.",
"Police began to look for her a month later after Cindy Anthony -- Casey's mother -- made three 911 calls expressing her worry about her granddaughter's disappearance.",
"The girl's skeletal remains were found in December of that year, in woods about one-quarter mile from the Anthony home.",
"Prosecutors have said they plan to show Casey Anthony lied repeatedly about her daughter's fate, contending she used \"a substance\" to kill her daughter.",
"Casey Anthony has pleaded not guilty to the charges.",
"The defense has strongly combated the prosecution's attempts to enter into evidence and hear from an expert claiming that she stashed Caylee's body in the trunk of her car and dumped it."

"It said aircraft and armored forces targeted 11 squads of \"terrorists\" in the northern and southern Gaza Strip and 15 \"terror activity sites,\" including \"terror infrastructure sites, Hamas outposts, smuggling tunnels and weapons manufacturing and storage facilities.\"",
"The developments are the latest in a three-day tide of intensified violence that began on Thursday, when Hamas militants attacked an Israeli school bus that critically wounded a 16-year-old boy and prompted Israeli retaliatory strikes against fighters in Gaza.",
"The three-day death toll in Gaza rose to at least 18, 10 militants and eight civilians.",

"Washington (CNN) -- Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich made it official Wednesday: He's running for president.",
"The Georgia Republican announced via Twitter that he is formally seeking the 2012 GOP presidential nomination.",
"Gingrich is widely viewed as the most serious official Republican candidate so far.",
"\"I'm announcing my candidacy for president of the United States because I believe we can return America to hope and opportunity,\" the former speaker said in a campaign video posted online.",
"\"We Americans are going to have to talk together, to work together, find solutions together, and insist on imposing those solutions on those forces that don't want to change.\"",
"The candidate called for more jobs, a balanced budget and decentralized government.",
"\"There are some people who don't mind if America becomes a wreck so long as they dominate the wreckage,\" Gingrich said.",
"\"But you and I know better.\"",
"\"Let's get together, look reality in the face, tell the truth, make the tough choices and get the job done,\" he declared.",
"\"There's a much better American future ahead.\"",
"House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Virginia, said earlier Wednesday that \"the discussion around the presidential race will obviously increase\" when Gingrich entered the race for the GOP nomination.",
"\"I think Gingrich has always been an ideas man, and I'm sure that will provide a lot of positive input to the debate,\" Cantor said.",
"Gingrich's online announcement followed a recent trend by national politicians to make major announcements through the Internet.",
"Barack Obama first announced his selection of Joe Biden as his running mate in 2008 on his campaign website and in a text message to supporters.",
"Then-Sen. Hillary Clinton announced her presidential candidacy in 2007 with the release of a statement and video on her campaign website.",
"Asked about his embracing of technology to make his announcement, Gingrich told Fox News' Sean Hannity on Wednesday night that \"there are a lot of principles that haven't changed.\"",
"He came out swinging against Obama, the \"elite\" media and Hollywood.",
"Obama should be ashamed of himself for \"dishonest scare tactics\" in comments about Republican approaches to the budget and immigration, Gingrich said, adding he wanted to \"clear away the liberal policies.\"",
"The candidate has traveled to key early voting states trying to build a network of support and has met with fundraisers.",
"He has assembled a campaign team and told supporters he aims to raise $100 million.",
"During his appearances, the former speaker has pushed a wide array of policy proposals in his bid to lay the foundation of a campaign and prove he is a serious candidate, not just a symbol of the past.",
"\"I expect the American people in the end will be remarkably fair.",
"They'll render judgment, and they'll decide whether or not Newt Gingrich is somebody that they think can solve the country's problems and be the kind of leader they want for this country,\" Gingrich told Fox News in March.",
"He has given his audiences a lot of political red meat and has not shied away from controversy.",
"Speaking at the Iowa Faith and Freedom Coalition event in March, he said there is a difference between a majority of Americans and \"the secular socialist people around (President Barack) Obama and the degree to which they do not understand America, cannot possibly represent America and cannot lead us to success.\"",
"Gingrich has an agenda the includes overturning the health care reform bill, eliminating the Environmental Protection Agency, pushing more development of energy sources and advocating tax cuts.",
"\"He is a polarizing figure (who) comes with a fair degree of baggage,\" Ford O'Connell, who worked on the 2008 McCain-Palin ticket, told CNN.",
"He said Gingrich has to make himself relevant to the current political climate.",
"\"He does represent the past but has to show why he represents the future,\" O'Connell said, adding that he thinks right now Gingrich is having difficulty doing that.",
"\"If he can demonstrate why he is relevant to the future in the current political climate,\" O'Connell said, \"the baggage will dissipate.\"",
"Some Republican activists not affiliated with a campaign have said Gingrich might not be disciplined enough to focus his ideas to run a successful campaign.",
"Pollster David Winston, who worked with Gingrich during his years in the House, said he can.",
"\"There isn't any question Newt Gingrich is a person with lots of ideas,\" Winston told CNN.",
"\"The step for Newt here is to not just merely focus on the future ... (but to) focus on the problems the country is most worried about.\"",
"Gingrich told Hannity he is better equipped to be president than when he left office 12 years ago.",
"\"It's fair to say I am more mature,\" he said.",
"\"I have had time to reflect on what worked and what didn't work.\"",
"He declined to list who his strongest Republican foe might be, instead saying the focus is on the president.",
"The former House speaker, who converted to Catholicism, the religion of his current wife, has especially reached out to the social conservative wing of the party, a segment critical to success in the key states of Iowa and South Carolina.",
"Many of those activists are skeptical of Gingrich because of his two divorces.",
"\"There's no question at times of my life, partially driven by how passionately I felt about this country, that I worked far too hard and things happened in my life that were not appropriate,\" Gingrich explained to the Christian Broadcasting Network's David Brody.",
"After the Georgia Republican lost two runs for Congress in the 1970s, his third attempt in 1978 was successful.",
"He was aggressive and rose to the second spot in the House Republican leadership.",
"He was instrumental in helping to craft the 1994 Contract with America, a blueprint that helped the Republicans take control of the House.",
"He was elected speaker but, after a disappointing GOP showing in the House elections in 1998, he decided to retire in 1999.",
"He then went about rehabilitating his political career, forming a conservative policy think tank called American Solutions, starting a string of successful businesses and becoming a political commentator.",
"He has an impressive record of fundraising, he has developed a large network of supporters and he has authored almost two dozen books and produced movies on a wide range of topics.",
"Gingrich still has some work to do on his reputation.",
"Forty-four percent of those surveyed in a recent CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll said they had an unfavorable opinion of him, while 30% said they had a favorable one.",
"That gives him one of the largest unfavorable rankings of the GOP presidential contenders, although it also shows he has high name recognition.",
"When Republicans are asked who they favor for the nomination, 10% choose Gingrich, tying him with Rep. Ron Paul of Texas but behind Sarah Palin, Mitt Romney, Donald Trump and Mike Huckabee.",
"\"He brings a lot to the debate.",
"But there are a lot of candidates in the process of going through a presidential primary.",
"We'll sort out the good from the bad, and we'll end up with a good candidate,\" House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said on NBC's \"Today\" show Tuesday regarding a Gingrich candidacy.",
"It has not been all smooth sailing as Gingrich tested the waters.",
"He admitted his advisers flubbed the initial announcement in March that he was exploring a run and starting a website, when expectations were built up that they would announce a more formal step.",
"\"It led to unfortunate confusion,\" he told the Des Moines Register.",
"\"I wish we had been a little more structured ... but I don't take it as a serious problem.\"",
"Gingrich also drew some criticism for not giving a coherent critique of the Obama administration's policy on Libya.",
"He told Fox News on March 7, when asked what he would do, that he would \"exercise a no-fly zone this evening.\"",
"But later, after a no-fly zone was put in place, he said on NBC's \"Today Show\" that \"I would not have intervened.",
"I think there are a lot of other ways to affect (Libyan leader Moammar) Gadhafi.\"",
"For his part, Gingrich has denied he flip-flopped, saying he was just commenting on the circumstances as they changed.",
"He posted on his Facebook page: \"President Obama said publicly that 'it's time for Gadhafi to go.'",
"Prior to this statement there were options to be indirect and subtle to achieve this result without United States military forces.\"",
"\"The president, however, took those options off the table with his public statement,\" he continued.",
"\"That's why during a March 7th Greta van Susteren interview, I asserted that the president should establish a no-fly zone 'this evening.'",
"\" CNN's Rebecca Stewart and Alan Silverleib contributed to this story."

"Clearwater, Florida (CNN) -- After a second day of jury selection in the Casey Anthony murder trial, more prospective jurors facing weeks and possibly months away from home, family, work and school have been excused.",
"While a few were dismissed for expressing opinions about the defendant, most were let go after revealing compelling hardship issues during questioning by the judge and lawyers from both sides.",
"One woman in her 50s, who works at a hospice, said she cannot go weeks without an income.",
"Her employer would not compensate her during the trial and she said she would not be able to pay her mortgage.",
"Another woman said she is in school and would have no one to care for her 4-year-old daughter.",
"The obstacles to serving represent a vivid cross-section of everyday struggles for Americans, especially in a fragile economic recovery.",
"Financial difficulties, chronic illness, single parents trying to care for children while earning a living were among the excuses offered in court.",
"The judge in the case, Belvin Perry, previously ruled that the jury would be sequestered throughout the trial.",
"Perry wants to shield the panel of 12 and eight alternates from media coverage of the trial and other factors that could sway the outcome.",
"\"Black's Law Dictionary\" defines jury sequestration as ''the custodial isolation of a trial jury to prevent tampering and exposure to publicity.''",
"Other major cases that have been sequestered in recent years include the O.J.",
"Simpson double murder trial in Los Angeles and the trial of Mary Winkler, found guilty of voluntary manslaughter in the death of her husband, a minister in Selmer, Tennessee.",
"Casey Anthony's 2-year-old daughter, Caylee, disappeared in the Orlando area in 2008.",
"After a protracted search amid national news coverage, a repairman found the toddler's remains in woods near her parents' home.",
"That the case is so high-profile makes it difficult to find a jury without prejudices.",
"Legitimate personal hardships -- universally considered grounds for dismissal in U.S. courts -- present an extra challenge.",
"A male juror said Tuesday he is one of four nurses on a 24-hour rotation for treating heart attack patients.",
"His co-workers would have to \"scramble\" without him on the job, he said.",
"Others included a middle-aged woman who may need surgery; a man who runs group homes for delinquent youths and is getting married this summer; a man who wants to see his dying uncle in Puerto Rico, and a woman who is the sole caregiver for her disabled husband.",
"She brings him to doctors and reminds him ''to take his pills.''",
"A woman in her 40s pays her children's college tuition and works two jobs to supplement her income.",
"She said she would have to borrow money or ''pull funds from other places'' to avoid falling behind on her mortgage.",
"But not every juror claiming hardship was released.",
"A man in his 30s said he runs a family-owned Ace Hardware store.",
"His father has had heart attacks and strokes over the past several years, leaving his son to manage the business on his own.",
"The man, who has two dogs, no children and no wife because he hasn't ''found the right woman yet,'' said leaving the store for eight weeks would be a big problem, even though he has 34 employees.",
"None of them are trained as managers, he said.",
"However, when asked what else is on his calendar in the next several months, he said he has a business and pleasure trip to Panama.",
"That's when he lost his argument.",
"Cheney Mason, Anthony's lead defense attorney, said if the man can go to Panama, he has someone to take care of the store.",
"According to authorities, Casey Anthony took about a month to report her daughter's disappearance to police.",
"Widely known as \"Tot Mom\" from media coverage, Anthony was arrested and charged with first-degree murder.",
"She could face the death penalty if convicted.",
"Anthony was transported to Clearwater, Florida, and booked into the Pinellas County Jail for jury selection.",
"Perry is holding jury selection in this Tampa Bay Area city of more than 100,000 to avoid assembling a panel that is likely to be more familiar with the case.",
"Anthony will return to Orlando, about 100 miles to the east, for the trial, which could kick off next week.",
"Lawyers have also dismissed several potential jurors who expressed opinions about the case during voir dire, questioning to ensure jurors are not biased.",
"The old French phrase means to speak the truth.",
"Jury selection is scheduled to resume Wednesday morning.",
"Belvin dismissed a panel of candidates on Tuesday, saying they were contaminated by a prospective juror overheard discussing the case.",
"By sheer coincidence, the juror is a witness in the Anthony case and was serving in Pinellas County.",
"After screening for hardship, the court will ask remaining prospective jurors about their knowledge of the case, whether they could set that aside and if they were to find her guilty could they impose the death penalty.",
"In a moment of limited levity on Tuesday, Belvin asked one potential juror who planned to visit Savannah, Georgia, with his wife in June for their wedding anniversary whether he would ''be in the dog house'' if the trip were put on hold.",
"''I think she'd be a bit more upset than I would at this point,'' he said."

"(CNN) -- Formula One teams may try to take control of the elite motorsport when the rights agreement expires at the end of 2012, Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo told CNN in an exclusive interview.",
"Bernie Ecclestone has run F1 on behalf of CVC Capital Partners since selling his rights in 2006, but speculation is growing that the Concorde Agreement -- the settlement between the private equity firm and the teams -- will not be renewed.",
"Last month, media mogul Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation and Italian investment firm EXOR released a statement confirming they were \"formulating a long-term plan for the development of Formula One in the interests of the participants and the fans.\"",
"Montezemolo said that the teams had three options: to renew with CVC; find a new partner; or follow the lead of basketball's NBA and create their own company to run the sport.",
"Would F1 be better off with different owners?",
"\"I think we have to be very pragmatic.",
"At the end of 2012, the contracts of every single team with CVC will expire.",
"So, we have three alternatives,\" the 63-year-old Italian told CNN.",
"\"We renew with CVC, or we theoretically -- as the basketball teams did in the U.S. with great success -- we create our own company, like the NBA.",
"Just to run the races, the TV rights and so.",
"\"And third, to find a different partner.",
"Bernie Ecclestone did a very good job but he has already sold out three times, so he doesn't own the business anymore.",
"It is CVC that will sell. It will be the teams' decisions.",

"F1, thanks also to Bernie Ecclestone, has become a worldwide sport.",
"Now we have to find the best solution.",

"I don't want to see competition in the pits,\" he said.",
"\"A little bit, yes -- but in the last race there were 80 pit-stops.",

"Islamabad, Pakistan (CNN) -- The Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility Friday for suicide attacks on a military training facility in the nation's northwest, saying they were carried out in retaliation for the killing of terrorist leader Osama bin Laden.",
"The twin suicide bombings killed at least 80 people, nearly all of them military recruits who had just completed their training, said Bashir Ahmad Bilour, a senior provincial minister.",
"About 140 others were wounded.",
"\"Pakistani and the U.S. forces should be ready for more attacks,\" said Ihsan Ullah Ihsan, a spokesman for the Pakistani Taliban, who accused the Pakistani military of having alerted the United States to bin Laden's location.",
"\"Osama was our great leader and the killers of Osama will have to pay its price,\" he said.",
"The back-to-back explosions took place shortly after scores of recruits had left the Shabqadar Fort, a training facility in the district of Charsadda, said Jahan Zeb Khan, a senior police officer.",
"Afterward, video of the blood-soaked ground outside the training facility showed it littered with burned vehicles and broken glass.",
"The recruits had just completed a nine-month training program when the attackers struck.",
"The district of Charsadda borders Mohmand Agency, one of seven districts in Pakistan's tribal region along the Afghan border.",
"Mohmand is believed to be a hideout for Taliban fighters and al Qaeda-linked militants fleeing last year's military operation in the district of South Waziristan and ongoing U.S. drone strikes in North Waziristan.",
"The Pakistani army has carried out numerous ground and air operations in Mohmand but it has not been able to stamp out the militants.",
"The Pakistani Taliban represent a confederation of Taliban groups in northwestern Pakistan, where they are based, said Bill Roggio, military-affairs analyst who is managing editor of The Long War Journal.",
"Those fighters attack targets in Pakistan and across the border in Afghanistan.",
"The group, which is headquartered in Quetta, is different from the Afghan Taliban, which has been focused on re-establishing the Islamic Emirate in Afghanistan.",
"Both groups swear allegiance to Taliban leader Mullah Omar and have close ties to al Qaeda, he said.",
"Last December, some 150 militants ambushed six security checkpoints in Mohmand, killing 11 Pakistani soldiers, officials told CNN.",
"Earlier in December, a twin suicide attack targeting a government building in Mohmand killed at least 40 people.",
"\"They're clearly trying to disrupt our bilateral relationship through this attack,\" State Department spokesman Mike Toner told reporters.",
"\"But it's also clear that they are going to carry out these kinds of attacks no matter what.\"",
"But Imran Khan, a Pakistani opposition party leader, said the attacks show that the Pakistani government is doing a poor job managing the crisis.",
"\"Unfortunately, we do not have a trustworthy, credible government,\" the chairman of Pakistan's Tehreek-e-Insaf (Movement for Justice) Party told CNN.",
"\"That's why I'm calling for the resignation of our own government, free and fair elections and a new, credible government,\" he said.",
"He cited government figures that cite 34,000 deaths and a $68 billion loss to the nation's economy as a result of terrorism.",
"\"The people of Pakistan are dying under this war on terror,\" he said.",
"Khan said Pakistan would be in a better position if it would simply decline U.S. aid.",
"\"Unfortunately, if Pakistan is considered a hired gun of the U.S., it reduces its capability to win this war on terror,\" he said.",
"\"If this becomes Pakistan's war, I think Pakistan will win the war.",
"But if it's perceived that the Pakistani army is a mercenary army of the U.S., we have no chance of winning.\"",
"He added, \"They target Pakistan because Pakistan is perceived as America's agents.",
"That's why you see the sort of carnage that's taking place today.\"",
"Prior to 2004, there were no suicide attacks and no militant Taliban in Pakistan, he said.",
"But things have changed.",
"\"Here's a country that had 500 bomb blasts last year.\"",
"The vast majority of the fighters are tribal people who are neither terrorists nor religious fundamentalists, he said.",
"\"They are fighting as a result of Pakistani military operations in the tribal area.",
"So a credible government should have peace talks with them and then isolate the al Qaeda, which has worried the West.\"",

"The 20-year-old is the highest-ranked Canadian tennis player in the history of the ATP Tour listings, he has won his first top-level tournament, and reached the fourth round of only his second grand slam event in Australia in January.",
"These are impressive numbers at such a young age, but they pale in comparison to the statistics of the man who has had a massive influence on Raonic's burgeoning career.",

"\"I met him and then went on a nine-match winning streak, so it was a very inspirational moment,\" Raonic told CNN Open Court's Candy Reid of his breakthrough victory and subsequent final appearance in Memphis.",
"\"It was another level of an experience for me, getting to meet someone you looked up to so much and watched for so many hours, getting to meet the person in the face to see what kind of person he is.\"",
"Raonic was so struck by that meeting that he still carries on tour a picture of the two that Sampras signed and framed for him.",
"\"I looked up to him, I looked at all his matches, watched everything more than once -- he really was an inspiration.",
"He was an inspiration for putting so much time behind that serve,\" he said.",
"The fabled Sampras serve.",

"Is Nadal's clay domination good for tennis?",
"It was a tempting option, as he was not a top name among the juniors, but Raonic's career developed under the tuition of Frederic Niemeyer and he has taken a big leap since Tennis Canada sent him to work with former Spanish professional Galo Blanco last October.",
"\"When we initially set my goals at the beginning of the year we set a top-50 goal by the end of the summer, so a lot of things came a lot quicker than planned,\" said Raonic, now ranked 25th and likely to be seeded at the French Open.",

"(CNN) -- With 33 consecutive wins and six straight titles in 2011, Novak Djokovic is closing in on his lifetime goal.",
"The Serbian's explosive start to the new tennis season has seen him battle and bruise two of the game's modern greats and former untouchables in Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer.",
"His run in the current campaign has seen him beat both Federer and Nadal three times each -- consigning the Spaniard to his first clay-court defeat in nearly two years in Madrid -- en route to entering the top 10 of all-time ATP winning streaks.",
"His win at the Australian Open and present hot streak finds him ranked second in the world, but Djokovic has his sights firmly focused on achieving a long-held goal.",
"If he wins his seventh crown at the Rome Masters ahead of his 24th birthday on May 22, and No.",
"1 Nadal fails to make the semifinals, Djokovic will proudly sit atop the rankings for the first time in his career.",
"He told CNN's Open Court show: \"It is my lifetime goal, my highest ambition, my dream as well, but I'm still 23, 24 this year.",
"I still believe that I can play for many more years to come in this high level in the ATP Tour.",
"\"If I really want to be one of the candidates for the top spot, I have to play consistently well throughout the whole year, because that is what Rafa and Roger will do and that's what they have been doing the last five years, winning major events, being at least in the semis for every major event.",
"\"If I want to compete with them and keep up with them, I will have to do the same at least.\"",
"If Djokovic's rise to prominence in the game from 2005 onwards was steady, his leap into Nadal and Federer's place at the top table of tennis has been dramatic.",
"He secured his first major title back in 2008 at the Australian Open, and solidified his position as world number three, but the glut of grand slam titles many had predicted did not materialize.",
"He reached the quarterfinals, or better, in each of 2010's four slams and again finished the year third behind Nadal and Federer, but after leading Serbia to a landmark Davis Cup triumph over France in December, Djokovic hasn't looked back.",
"His 33 wins have included three final defeats of Nadal, the most notable coming in the recent Madrid Masters, when Djokovic inflicted the Spaniard's first reverse on clay in 38 matches.",
"So, what is the secret to his blistering start in 2011?",
"\"Everything kind of came together,\" he told CNN anchor Pedro Pinto.",
"\"Everybody is wondering what the secret is -- there is no secret.",
"\"I had the team of people I've had for the last two or three years, it just took time for me to get all the things right and kind of have this necessary life experience in tennis.\"",
"Djokovic's imperious form has sent confidence levels soaring, and he attributes his success to a solid mental approach.",
"\"There is this saying that players use, that when you're so confident that the tennis ball looks like a watermelon, so it probably is the case with me in the last couple of months,\" he explained.",

"\"I don't expect myself to not lose a match throughout the whole year, but I am confident that I am a different player from last year,\" he said.",

"Los Angeles (CNN) -- NASA announced Tuesday the new retirement homes for the four remaining space shuttles -- three historic orbiters and the program's test vehicle.",
"The space shuttle Atlantis will be displayed at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida; the Endeavour, at the California Science Center in Los Angeles; the Discovery, at the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Virginia; and the test shuttle, Enterprise, at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York, NASA Administrator Charles F. Bolden Jr. said during a ceremony at the Kennedy Center.",
"The announcement was made on the 30th anniversary of the space shuttle program's first flight, made by the subsequently ill-fated Columbia orbiter, and the 50th anniversary of Soviet Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin becoming the first human in space.",
"More than 20 locations around the country sought one of the orbiters because of the potential tourist draw.",
"The drama mirrored the bidding to host an Olympic games.",
"Supporters of sites that were rejected expressed disappointment.",
"U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, said the Johnson Space Center in Houston should have been one of the retirement homes for an orbiter, \"but it is clear political favors trumped common sense and fairness in the selection of the final locations for the orbiter fleet,\" he said in a statement.",
"He noted that Houston \"played a critical role throughout the life of the space shuttle.\"",
"\"Like many Texans, I am disappointed with NASA's decision to slight the Johnson Space Center as a permanent home for one of the space shuttle orbiters,\" Cornyn said.",
"\"There is no question Houston should have been selected as a final home for one of the orbiters -- even Administrator Bolden stated as much.",
"Today's announcement is an affront to the thousands of dedicated men and women at Johnson Space Center, the greater Houston community and the state of Texas, and I'm deeply disappointed with the administration's misguided decision,\" Cornyn said.",
"In Los Angeles, shortly after NASA's announcement, California Science Center President Jeffrey Rudolph told reporters that the Endeavour would boost the center's annual 1.4 million visitors to about 2 million people a year.",
"The center plans to use the orbiter as the centerpiece to a new air and space gallery, which would cost $200 million and is part of the center's 25-year master plan, Rudolph said.",
"That price tag includes the $28.8 million that the center must pay NASA to prepare and relocate the orbiter to Los Angeles, he said.",
"The center hasn't hired an architect yet to design the new facility and is now planning a fundraiser, he said.",
"\"Obviously, we were thrilled.",
"We got the word this morning, shortly before the announcement,\" Rudolph said of his reaction to winning one of the shuttles.",
"\"The fact that the shuttle was created here in California had a lot to do with giving us a leg up\" over the competition, Rudolph said.",
"\"It's a fitting place for this national treasure.\"",
"The center, which also features a Los Angeles charter school, is the most attended museum in southern California and one of the most attended in the country, Rudolph said.",
"The Los Angeles center's existing air and space gallery is now home to the Mercury-Redstone 2 capsule that carried Ham, a chimpanzee, on a suborbital flight, and the Gemini 11 capsule flown by astronauts Pete Conrad and Dick Gordon on an orbital flight.",
"U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer said she and Sen. Dianne Feinstein -- both California Democrats -- wrote to NASA's Bolden last year asking that California become home to one of the shuttles because the state has a long history with the shuttle program.",
"Beginning in 1972, all five space shuttle orbiters were fabricated in Downey, California, and assembled in Palmdale, California, Boxer said in a statement.",
"All of the space shuttles were tested at Edwards Air Force Base just outside of Palmdale, where 53 of NASA's 133 shuttle missions landed, she said.",
"The Endeavour will take its final flight on April 29, and prior to this launch, it will have been used on 24 missions, orbited the earth 4,429 times and traveled 103,149,636 miles, Boxer said.",
"\"California has a long history of supporting the shuttle program and we are proud to welcome this inspiring symbol of American scientific achievement and ingenuity to the Golden State,\" Boxer said in a statement.",
"Audience members at the Kennedy Space Center cheered when Bolden announced the Atlantis would be assigned to that launch facility.",
"Many people in the gallery were center workers, some of whom are likely to lose their jobs when the shuttle program ends.",
"Because the announcement was being made at Kennedy, expectations were high that the visitor center would be awarded one of the shuttles.",
"The Museum of Flight in Seattle also wanted one.",
"In fact, one wall of a new space gallery where a shuttle would be housed was already erected in anticipation.",
"Prior to Tuesday's announcement, the museum's president, Doug King, said museum officials didn't have any inside information.",
"\"I think that confident may be too strong a word.",
"I think that hopeful is probably a better one,\" he said.",
"But on Tuesday, Washington state Gov.",
"Chris Gregoire also said he was disappointed that the NASA didn't select the Seattle museum for one of the retired shuttles.",
"\"The Museum of Flight put a tremendous amount of effort into landing a retired shuttle in the Pacific Northwest.",
"As the home of modern day air travel and the 747, which has gracefully transported shuttles for the last 30 years, Seattle would have been a perfect fit,\" Gregoire said in a statement.",
"\"However, the full fuselage trainer, that every astronaut including Bonnie Dunbar has been trained on, will soon call the Museum of Flight home,\" the governor said.",
"\"The largest of the trainers, this addition will allow visitors to actually climb aboard the trainer and experience the hands-on training that astronauts get.",
"Visitors will not be allowed in the other shuttles and this trainer is a true win for our dynamic museum.\"",
"Facilities in Chicago, New York, Dayton, Ohio, and Tulsa, Oklahoma, also put in requests for an orbiter, with hopes that such a historic artifact would inspire countless children in those areas to explore careers in science and engineering.",
"Becoming home to an orbiter promises to be a boon for a community.",
"The Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex estimates a shuttle will bring in 200,000 more guests every year.",
"The economic impact to the area is estimated at about $15 million.",
"At New York's Intrepid Museum, Executive Director Susan Marenoff told CNN, \"Figure over 300,000 people additional (due) to the Intrepid, to New York City.",
"Couple that with $106 million in economic benefit.",
"We think that's a pretty good deal.\"",
"Each winning location has to fork over $28.8 million to NASA for delivery of the vehicles.",
"They also must guarantee a climate-controlled building will be constructed to house their shuttle.",
"That's still a bargain, officials at the bidding locations said, because of the return on investment they expect.",
"One of the orbiters -- Discovery, the oldest -- was largely regarded as being Smithsonian-bound.",
"That was confirmed by Tuesday's announcement.",
"The Enterprise, a test shuttle that never flew in space, is there now.",
"It was be reassigned, at a discounted price, to one of the locations that didn't get either Endeavour or Atlantis.",
"That location turned out to be the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York.",
"Only two more shuttle flights are scheduled: Endeavour on April 29 and Atlantis on June 28, wrapping up a program in which the vehicles launched satellites, built a space station, and launched and repaired an orbiting telescope.",
"After that, they become museum pieces.",

"(CNN) -- She was named after her mother's friend and not the doomed French queen, though at this moment in Ivory Coast's history, some might think it unfortunate.",
"But Marie Antoinette Singleton doesn't care what people think of her -- it's her parents' names that she wants to clear.",
"Singleton, 37, watched as images of the capture of Laurent Gbagbo and his wife, Simone, flashed across her television screen Monday.",
"It was difficult for her to see her stepfather and mother appear weak, haggard and, as she says, bearing signs of abuse.",
"\"It's disrespectful and humiliating,\" she said in a phone interview from her home in Washington, D.C., where she worked in the Ivory Coast embassy until February.",
"She wasn't going to serve a rebel government, she said as defiantly as her stepfather had declared his intention to remain in office.",
"So she stopped going to work.",
"Gbagbo insisted he won Ivory Coast's disputed November presidential election.",
"The international community, however, did not see it that way.",
"The United Nations, the United States, France and other global powers threw their support behind Alassane Ouattara, a man who Singleton said has haunted her family for many years.",
"A four-month political standoff turned bloody and this week, everything ended for Gbagbo when forces stormed his residence and detained him, Simone and several of his children.",
"The grandeur that had graced the West African nation's first couple quickly faded as Ouattara's security forces took them away -- a tired, feeble man seen on television in a white undershirt and a wife in a sundress and disheveled braids.",
"Singleton was sure her father had been beaten.",
"\"This is tragic -- not just for my family but for the people of Cote D'Ivoire,\" Singleton said.",
"All her life, she had known parents who she viewed as determined to pull their nation up from the remnants of a brutal colonial history.",
"All her life, she had known parents who gave their time for building a multi-party system.",
"The well-educated Gbagbo -- he earned a Ph.D in history -- stood up to Ivory Coast's first president, Felix Houphouet-Boigny, known as the father of the nation.",
"Gbagbo despised Houphouet-Boigny's strong alliance with France, the former colonial power.",
"Singleton recalled a campus protest in the early 1990s in which her stepfather and mother were arrested.",
"Ouattara was then Houphouet-Boigny's prime minister.",
"\"It has not been easy to be in opposition,\" Singleton said.",
"\"They have been doing it almost all their lives.",
"\"So this is nothing new,\" she said of this week's events.",
"Ouattara, she said, remains a puppet for the colonialists and international players who want to profit off her nation.",
"Gbagbo, she said, paid the price for standing his ground.",
"\"When an African leader comes and says, 'I want to serve my people,' they don't want to hear that,\" she said.",
"\"So from the start they wanted to get President Gbagbo out of office.\"",
"Singleton has not been back home to Ivory Coast in two years.",
"But she had been calling her parents as they hid in the basement of their residence.",
"She worried about their safety, but they said they were fine.",
"\"It made me proud they are not quitters.",
"They are true to the vision for Cote D'Ivoire ... for independence.",
"Because we are not independent.\" But on Monday, the phone calls stopped going through.",
"She imagined her parents' phones had been confiscated, cut off even, because she kept hearing a message from the phone company.",
"She said she has had no word of her family since their capture.",
"There are many who believe Gbagbo should stand trial for allegations of human rights violations.",
"He may even face investigation by the International Criminal Court in The Hague, Netherlands.",
"So on Wednesday, Singleton assembled a legal team that includes Jacques Verges, who defended Nazi Klaus Barbie and once offered his services to Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.",
"Singleton has asked the lawyers to look into the arrest of her family and the legality of the French army's intervention.",
"She is hopeful the world will eventually see him the way she does.",
"The world has called Gbagbo a monster.",
"Singleton described him as affable, a man who likes to tell jokes all the time.",
"The world has portrayed Gbagbo as power-hungry.",
"Singleton said he was modest and humble and loved for those virtues.",
"She thought this week of her childhood and how her parents used to insist their children have lunch with them every day.",
"At night, her parents dabbled in politics.",
"But the midday meal gave them time to delve into the loves and tribulations of their children.",
"\"They would not start lunch until we came back home,\" Singleton said.",
"If she was out at a friend's house, her father sent someone to fetch her.",
"And, if there was no rice at the table, there was no meal, she said.",

"(CNN) -- A 1-year-old suffering from a deteriorating neurological condition whose family had been in an ongoing debate with a Canadian hospital about his care has been transferred to a children's hospital in the United States.",
"Joseph Maraachli, widely known in the media as Baby Joseph, was airlifted on Sunday evening to SSM Cardinal Glennon Children's Medical Center, a Catholic hospital in St. Louis, where he is being examined by Dr. Robert Wilmott, the hospital's chief of pediatrics, hospital spokesman Bob Davidson said.",
"A team of physicians will formulate a treatment plan and provide an update on what's next for the child in a news conference Tuesday morning, Davidson said.",
"Baby Joseph, who was born in January 2010, had been in the care of the London Health Sciences Centre in London, Ontario, since October.",
"His doctor, in court papers, said that \"all cranial nerve functions are now absent\" and there is no hope for recovery.",
"He recommended that the infant's breathing tube be removed and he be allowed to die.",
"The child's parents, Moe and Sana Maraachli, sought instead to have their son receive a tracheotomy combined with continued mechanical ventilation so that he could be transferred home, where he would be cared for by his family.",
"The child's Aunt, Samar Nadar, has said that in 2002 the Maraachli's daughter died at home with a tracheotomy after suffering a similar condition.",
"In January a Canadian Superior Court judge ruled in favor of the hospital, saying it could remove the child's breathing tube without a replacement, along with a do-not-resuscitate order and recommendations on palliative care.",
"The Maraachlis then been fighting to have their son relocated to a U.S hospital for a second opinion.",
"The London hospital said it would not perform a tracheotomy because it is an invasive procedure typically recommended for patients who require a long-term breathing machine.",
"In a statement on the hospital's website, it says Baby Joseph's transfer on Sunday happened \"despite the strongest possible medical advice to the contrary from medical experts.\"",
"The Maraachli case gained the attention of pro-life groups including Priests for Life and the Terri Schiavo Life and Hope Network, who organized prayer vigils and rallies in support of the family.",
"The situation intensified in February when the hospital began receiving threats and increased security to protect its staff.",
"Father Frank Pavone, national director of Priests for Life, flew to Ontario Sunday night to help with the transfer.",
"He issued a news release saying: \"After around-the-clock negotiations, this really became a race against time.\"",

"(CNN) -- Alassane Ouattara aspired to be president of Ivory Coast for decades.",
"Now, after four long months of post-election turmoil and the capture of his political rival, the job is indisputably his.",
"\"Finally, we have reached the dawn of a new era of hope,\" Ouattara said in a televised address.",
"But by even the most optimistic assessments, Ouattara faces a daunting task in forging a peaceful and stable path forward.",
"Chief among his challenges, said longtime observers, will be to unite a severely divided nation and ensure justice for those who committed grave human rights violations in the nation's political vacuum.",
"That includes people from his own camp who stand accused of heinous acts.",
"Most of the blame for the bloodshed rests squarely on the shoulders of Laurent Gbagbo, whose refusal to cede power plunged Ivory Coast into crisis, said Jendayi Frazer of the Council on Foreign Relations.",
"The International Criminal Court in The Hague, Netherlands, is now poised to investigate alleged war crimes instigated by Gbagbo.",
"Ouattara will have to delicately balance such a probe with reconciliation.",
"After all, said expert Alex Vines, Ouattara did not win in a landslide.",
"Gbagbo won 45.9 percent of the vote and as such, Ouattara will have to reach out to his rival's supporters, perhaps even welcome them into his government without jeopardizing justice, said Vines, head of the Africa program at the British think tank Chatham House.",
"But even more significant may be the way Ouattara handles his own dirt.",
"Though he emerged in the Western media as the good versus Gbagbo's evil, Ouattara, too, has been accused of having blood on his hands.",
"Human Rights Watch published a scathing report Saturday about abuses perpetrated by pro-Ouattara forces on their offensive to Abidjan.",
"People interviewed by the monitoring agency \"described how, in village after village, pro-Ouattara forces summarily executed and raped perceived Gbagbo supporters in their homes, as they worked in the fields, as they fled or as they tried to hide in the bush.\"",
"\"Ouattara should fulfill his public pledge to investigate and prosecute abuses by both sides if Côte d'Ivoire is to emerge from this horrific period,\" said Daniel Bekele, Africa director at Human Rights Watch.",
"In the United States, Ouattara's critics questioned his right to rule.",
"\"It is now clear, based on U.N. reports coming from Cote d'Ivoire, that mass killings have occurred at the hands of Alassane Ouattara,\" Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Oklahoma, said earlier this month.",
"\"This calls into question his legitimacy to lead that country,\" said Inhofe, who has visited Ivory Coast nine times and made no secret of his support for Gbagbo.",
"\"Ouattara is on a rampage, killing innocent civilians, and he must be stopped before this becomes another Rwanda.\"",
"Human rights lawyer Geoffrey Robertson said Ouattara's moment in the spotlight could quickly dim without adequate investigations into the abuse allegations against forces loyal to him.",
"\"Mr. Ouattara should also be investigated because of the evidence that his troops did commit rapes and abuse en route to Abidjan,\" said Robertson, a former president of the U.N. special court for Sierra Leone.",
"Such a probe could answer questions about what amount of control Ouattara exerted over the forces fighting under his name and whether he deliberately failed to stop them, Roberston said.",
"In his favor, Ouattara has been viewed for some time as a hard-working man, an honest politician who favors transparency.",
"He hailed from northern lands dominated by Muslim immigrants who came to work in Ivory Coast and eventually grew into influential businessmen and traders.",
"The U.S.-educated Ouattara quit his International Monetary Fund job to run for president in 2000 and might have met Gbagbo on the ballot then, except that he was marked as an outsider -- his mother was from Burkina Faso -- and barred from participating in the election.",
"The pro-Gbagbo newspaper Notre Voie accused Ouattara of backing a failed 2002 coup against Gbagbo's government, which triggered the 2002 civil war.",
"Ouattara's critics blame him for the deep split that Ivory Coast has yet to mend.",
"Vines said the rebels who fought in the 2002 civil war, the Force Nouvelles, formed a large part of the pro-Ouattara forces fighting Gbagbo's troops in the latest crisis.",
"The United Nations has repeatedly cited the armed group for breaking the arms embargo imposed on Ivory Coast and human rights groups have sounded alarms about its abuses.",
"The moral high ground in Ivory Coast, said Vines, is that the election result is clear and in favor of Ouattara.",
"\"After that it gets gray and in the last few weeks, it's gotten very opaque indeed,\" he said about the recent spate of killings, especially the massacre in the western town of Duekoue, where the International Committee of the Red Cross said 800 people were slaughtered.",
"The United Nations blamed many of the deaths on Ouattara's forces.",
"Ouattara, said Robertson, must conduct a swift inquiry into the allegations and punish the perpetrators.",
"Otherwise, Robertson said, Ouattara will \"himself be vulnerable to prosecution in The Hague.\"",
"And the future of Ivory Coast will be more tenuous than ever."

"Dublin, Ireland (CNN) -- Queen Elizabeth II is due to visit Croke Park stadium in Dublin Wednesday on the second day of her landmark tour to Ireland.",
"The visit to Croke Park is another significant symbolic gesture of reconciliation -- British troops opened fire on a crowd watching a Gaelic football match there in 1920, killing 14.",
"On Wednesday morning the queen met the Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny and senior cabinet ministers at Government Buildings as part of her state tour, the first by a UK monarch since the country gained independence in 1921.",
"Gerry O'Regan, editor of the Irish Independent, said: \"This is a triumph of really careful planning and shows a strong intent on both sides to make it work.\"",
"On Tuesday the queen laid a wreath at the Garden of Remembrance in Dublin in a joint ceremony with Irish President Mary McAleese.",
"The Garden of Remembrance honors those who fought for Irish freedom from British rule.",
"During her stay, the queen will also visit the National War Memorial Gardens in Islandbridge and on Wednesday evening, accompanied by British Prime Minister David Cameron, the queen will attend a state banquet at Dublin Castle.",
"The visit has prompted police to mount a major security operation amid threats of dissident republican violence.",
"Ireland has spent $42 million on security for the visit, according to officials.",
"On Tuesday scuffles between protesters and police broke out in central Dublin, 22 people were arrested.",
"The Irish military Tuesday defused a bomb Tuesday morning on a bus headed to Dublin.",
"The military had stopped a private bus in Maynooth, evacuated the passengers and found a \"viable device\" in the luggage compartment, a spokesman for the Irish national police said.",
"The queen's visit is one that many in Ireland believed would never happen, and marks the reconciliation between two neighboring countries that once viewed each other with suspicion and hostility.",
"Ireland's fight to free itself from its former imperial master is likely to form much of the narrative of the visit.",
"There will be constant reminders of the violent past.",
"The queen's plane touched down, for example, at Casement Aerodrome, a military airfield named after Roger Casement, who was executed for treason in 1916 for conspiring with the Germans.",
"His fate was sealed when the queen's grandfather, George V, refused to commute his death sentence.",
"The Irish War of Independence that the killing was a part of directly led to the partition of Ireland in 1921.",
"The majority of the island gained independence, but six of the nine counties of the province of Ulster chose to stay in the United Kingdom, eventually becoming the country of Northern Ireland.",
"In the late 1960s the conflict between mainly Protestant unionists who want Northern Ireland to remain part of the UK and largely Roman Catholic nationalists who want the North to be reunited with the rest of Ireland exploded into a political and sectarian war, known as the Troubles.",
"The ensuing three decades of violence between the Irish Republican Army and loyalists claimed the lives of more than 3,000 people, most of them north of the border, and while the Good Friday Agreement, signed in 1998, effectively ended the conflict, suspicions remain.",
"It is for this reason that the queen's visit is more than symbolic.",
"Under the terms of the accord, terrorist groups on both sides dumped their weapons, and political allies of both sides now work together in Northern Ireland's power-sharing government.",
"The change has been so rapid that, even as recently as the late 1990s, one journalist said he could never have imagined a state visit by the queen.",
"Toby Harnden, who covered Ireland for the Daily Telegraph, said while some people on both sides still have their doubts over the visit -- for different reasons -- more significant is the peaceable language used in the debate.",
"\"Some Catholics will see this as Britain cementing its claim over the Irish territory of the six counties of Northern Ireland,\" Harnden said.",
"Meanwhile \"the Protestants will see the queen's visit as ratification of a state that they believe is constitutionally hostile to any British presence in Ireland.",
"So on both sides there'll be qualms.\"",
"Gerry Adams, a pivotal figure in Northern Irish history as long-time leader of Sinn Fein, the IRA's political arm, said the queen's visit was \"premature.\"",
"Compared with incendiary language he had used in the past, Adams' comment speaks volumes, Harnden said.",
"For instance, \"when the queen's cousin Lord Mountbatten was killed by the IRA in 1979, (Adams) said it was an execution that was fully justified.\"",
"\"When I was there the IRA cease-fire had collapsed, there was violence and killings, no surrender, no compromise.",
"In those days there was no likelihood of the queen ever visiting.\"",
"CNN's Fionnuala Sweeney and Peter Wilkinson contributed to this report."

"Miami (CNN) -- Two southern Florida imams accused of supporting the Pakistani Taliban appeared briefly in a Miami federal court Monday, before a judge pushed back the legal proceedings into next week so the suspects could sort out their legal representation.",
"The two men -- Hafiz Khan and his son Izhar Khan -- were arrested Saturday in South Florida, the Justice Department said.",
"Another of Hafiz Khan's sons, Irfan Khan, was arrested that same day in El Segundo, California.",
"Later Monday, he likewise remained in federal custody after putting off entering a plea during his own initial court appearance at the Roybal Federal Building in Los Angeles.",
"Three others in Pakistan also have been indicted: Khan's daughter Amina Khan, Khan's grandson Alam Zeb and Ali Rehman.",
"All six defendants face a four-count indictment that alleges they conspired to provide material support to a conspiracy to kill, injure and kidnap people abroad.",
"It also alleges that they provided support to the Pakistani Taliban.",
"About a dozen representatives of the two imams' Florida mosques -- Flagler Mosque in Miami for Hafiz Khan, and Jamaat Al-Mu'mineen Mosque in Margate for his son Izhar -- attended Monday's court session to support the men and hear the accusations against them.",
"\"He was their spiritual leader, so it is a shock, everyone is in shock,\" said Nezar Hamze, executive director of the south Florida chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, of Hafiz Khan from the Miami court.",
"The two were expected to be formally arraigned Monday, with the possibility of bail being set.",
"But at the defendants' request, Magistrate Judge Barry Garber said that would instead happen on May 23.",
"Izhar Khan, 24, had requested a public defender, but did not meet the court's financial requirements to do so.",
"He asked for more time to find his own lawyer, a request that Garber granted.",
"His father, 76-year-old Hafiz Khan, was represented by Khurrum Wahid, a Pompano Beach, Florida-based lawyer who has \"represented scores of individuals detained by the government since\" the September 11, 2001, attacks, according to his firm's website.",
"Wahid told the magistrate judge he was temporarily representing Khan, and requested more time to assess the case.",
"Afterward, Wahid said his primary concern was the imam's health, adding he hopes to get him home and out of the federal detention center at next week's session.",
"He described Hafiz Khan -- who appeared frail Saturday, with white facial hair and thick glasses -- as in poor health because of a heart condition, high cholesterol and borderline diabetes, among other problems.",
"\"My primary concern right now is getting him out,\" said Wahid.",
"The attorney added that his client plans to \"challenge the evidence,\" if and when it is presented in court.",
"\"At this stage, we don't have anything other than what is written on a piece of paper by the U.S. Attorney's office,\" Wahid said.",
"In Los Angeles, meanwhile, Irfan Khan appeared before Magistrate Judge Paul Abrams clad in a tan sweater vest over a dress shirt.",
"He briefly answered a series of questions before delaying entering a plea on the charge that he is facing.",
"Abrams then continued the legal proceedings involving Irfan Khan to Thursday.",
"The indictment and all six arrests were not linked to the May 2 killing of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden in Pakistan, two U.S. officials said Saturday.",
"The charges relate to alleged crimes committed between 2008 and 2010.",
"Authorities said their investigation focused on leadership at the mosques.",
"The indictment describes a number of occasions when Hafiz Khan transferred money to Pakistan.",
"\"Khan solicited and distributed funds for the Pakistani Taliban, both personally and on behalf of others, and worked with the co-defendants and others to support the Pakistani Taliban's jihad,\" the indictment says.",
"The court documents also state there were several conversations between Hafiz Khan and the other defendants in which Hafiz Khan called for attacks against the Pakistani government and asked whether money had been delivered to the Pakistani Taliban.",
"Hafiz Khan also built a madrassa in Pakistan's Swat Valley that provided shelter for the terrorist group, the indictment states.",
"The term \"madrassa\" traditionally refers to any Muslim school, but in recent years news stories about madrassas radicalizing Islamic students cast the word in a negative light.",
"\"The main defendant Khan operated and controlled a madrassa to shelter members of the Pakistan Taliban and to train children to become military fighters for the Mujahedeen,\" U.S. Attorney Wilfredo A. Ferrer said.",
"He said authorities are aware of several unindicted co-conspirators in the United States and Pakistan.",
"The Pakistani Taliban represent a confederation of Taliban groups in northwestern Pakistan, where they are based, said Bill Roggio, military affairs analyst who is managing editor of The Long War Journal.",
"Those fighters attack targets in Pakistan and neighboring Afghanistan.",
"The Pakistani Taliban, which is headquartered in Quetta, is different from the Afghan Taliban, which has been focused on re-establishing the Islamic Emirate in Afghanistan.",
"Both groups swear allegiance to Taliban leader Mullah Omar and have close ties to al Qaeda, Roggio said.",
"On Monday, Hamze from the Council on American-Islamic Relations, said it was \"too early to speculate\" on what will be proven in the upcoming legal proceedings.",
"Regardless, he said it should not be seen as an indictment of Muslims in the United States.",
"\"This is my community, we are peacefully in south Florida (and) we are all American,\" Hamze said from Miami.",

"Los Angeles (CNN) -- Irfan Khan, a Florida limo driver accused of conspiring with his imam father and brother to funnel tens of thousands of dollars to the Pakistani Taliban, was denied bail Thursday in federal court.",
"Khan, 37, was also ordered to be transferred to Miami, where the indictment against him originated.",
"Khan resides in Miami but was arrested in El Segundo, California, over the weekend.",
"His transfer to Miami has yet to be scheduled.",
"Khan and four members of his family -- led by his father, an imam in south Florida -- are facing a four-count indictment charging them with providing financing and other material support to the Pakistani Taliban, which the U.S. government has designated as a foreign terrorist organization.",
"A sixth person also is named in the indictment.",
"In denying bail for Khan, U.S. Magistrate Judge Paul Abrams said he \"reluctantly\" agreed with prosecutors that Khan is a flight risk and a danger to the community.",
"Khan wore a white prison jumpsuit to court Thursday, and was intently whispering and looking over documents with his federal public defender, Jill Ginstling.",
"Ginstling vehemently argued Khan is a man of simple means and a married father of two young children.",
"He poses no threat to flee, she argued.",
"She also strongly implied Irfan Khan was paying for the alleged sins of his father.",
"\"They should not hold someone responsible for the things his father said,\" Ginstling told the court.",
"She said her client sent money wires totaling less than $3,500 to Pakistan, implying this was hardly the means to support terrorism.",
"But federal prosecutor Chris Grigg argued Khan and his alleged co-conspirators provided money that the Pakistani Taliban could have used to buy explosives and weapons for various attacks.",
"\"It's the money given to groups like the Pakistani Taliban that allow them to conduct their operations,\" Grigg said.",
"\"This is a group that is active now,\" Grigg added, even citing a CNN.com article about the Pakistani Taliban carrying out a revenge attack for the death of Osama bin Laden.",
"Grigg also argued a network of family members in Florida and Pakistan could help him flee the country.",

"Khan's father, Hafiz Khan, 76, of Miami and his brother, Izhar Khan, 24, of North Lauderdale, Florida, were arrested Saturday in south Florida.",
"The three other people named in the indictment now reside in Pakistan: Amina Khan, who is the daughter of Hafiz Khan; her son, Alam Zeb; and Ali Rehman.",
"They remain at large, authorities said.",
"All six defendants are charged with a conspiracy to murder, maim and kidnap people overseas, as well as conspiring to provide material support to the Pakistani Taliban.",
"Family patriarch Hafiz Khan, Rehman and Zeb are also charged with providing material support to the Pakistani Taliban.",
"All the defendants are originally from Pakistan, prosecutors said.",
"Hafiz Khan is the imam at the Miami Mosque, also known as the Flagler Mosque, in Miami.",
"His son, Izhar Khan, is an imam at the Jamaat Al-Mumineen Mosque in Margate, Florida.",

"Hundreds of tents and two huge portable warehouses, set up in an effort to accommodate the exodus, were destroyed.",

"Most of the Libyan refugees are arriving in Tunisia in tribal groups.",
"Many are choosing to stay in the camps for a few days before moving on to stay with Tunisian families.",
"UNHCR, and partners, including the World Food Programme and other agencies, are planning to distribute food and relief items to the refugees and their host families.",

"NATO-led forces began bombing regime targets in Libya last month after the U.N. Security Council approved a resolution authorizing any means necessary to protect civilians.",
"More than 550,000 people, mostly migrant workers, have fled Libya for neighboring countries.",

"Some of the boxes are going to military hospitals in Germany.",
"These CDs are going to all four military branches.",

"The troops have always had a special place in my heart.",
"I'd do anything for them ... because they sacrifice so much.",
"Even when I graduate (college), there will still be troops serving overseas.",
"When I graduate, I'll be one of them.",
"Berger: Tunes 4 the Troops is now based at Tennessee Tech.",

"Washington (CNN) -- As the United States prepares to take some troops out of Afghanistan this July, an ambitious program to persuade Afghanistan insurgents to leave the fight has managed so far to attract only 1,700 converts over the past 10 months, according to a general leading the \"reintegration\" effort.",
"But the killing of Osama bin Laden may convince more to turn, the general says.",
"The United States and its allies have contributed $141 million to the program of amnesty and reintegration.",
"And estimates are that 20,000 to 25,000 fighters remain in the field, despite efforts to persuade both Taliban leaders and foot soldiers to cross over.",
"\"It is gaining increasing authenticity.",
"People know they can step out of the fight,\" British Maj. Gen. Phil Jones said Thursday in a video link from Afghanistan to the Pentagon.",
"He heads up the allied reintegration effort for the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF).",
"Jones said Afghanis have talks underway with 40 to 45 Taliban and insurgent groups, representing maybe a total of 2,000 additional fighters.",
"He said there had been new interest after U.S. commandos killed Osama bin Laden in Pakistan early this month.",
"\"We were talking to some officers from the (Afghanistan) National Directorate of Security this morning and they were quite clear that that the expressions of interest of low level and mid level groups to join the program has picked up considerably over the last couple of weeks.\"",
"Jones said.",
"U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates said soon after the raid that bin Laden's death opens the door to Taliban parting ways with al Qaeda.",
"\"If that could happen at the same time we're keeping military pressure on the Taliban, keep them from taking back what you guys seized from them, expand the security bubble, you may actually next winter have the potential for reconciliation talks that are ... meaningful in terms of going forward, because one of the red lines for both us and the Afghan government (is) the Taliban disavowing any role with al Qaeda,\" Gates told Marines at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina on May 12.",
"Potential recruits to the reintegration program are interviewed, photographed and fingerprinted, and they can be sheltered in safe houses and receive a stipend before returning to their villages.",
"But Jones admitted problems with the program.",
"\"Inevitably if you start with a paper document and you have to build this airplane as you fly it, so to speak, then you are going to have challenges meeting demands.\"",
"For some fighters, leaving the battlefield can be an impossible step.",
"\"There still is a sense among a lot of the fighters that this smacks too much of surrender and their honor and dignity as fighting men ... can't quite take it as yet,\" Jones said.",
"\"There is still that psychology playing out there.\"",
"Another problem is what Jones described as \"the predatory reach\" of insurgents who cross the border from Afghanistan to punish and kill those they see as disloyal.",
"And he denied problems with fighters taking refuge in the program, only to return to the insurgency.",
"\"Thus far the people who have come -- the 17 hundred who have come in recent months -- have shown no signs of recidivism yet.",
"There is no sense they are coming in to wait out the fighting season and go back,\" Jones said.",
"In the long term, success of reintegration will depend on overall military and political momentum in the country.",
"There are no certainties in Afghanistan -- that is one of the things we have learned over the past 10 years,\" Jones said, predicting a tough fighting-season in coming months.",
"\"At its heart this is a very human process.",
"It requires people on both sides of the divide to make really courageous and life-changing decisions.\""

"(CNN) -- A judge in the United Arab Emirates on Thursday sentenced an American to one month in jail for being in possession of police handcuffs, his lawyer said.",
"Adam Foster, 30, of Burdett, New York, was taken into custody at the conclusion of the hearing in Dubai to begin serving his sentence, his lawyer, Yousuf Khalifa Hammad, told CNN.",
"Foster had been detained for more than two months in the UAE on charges of stealing police handcuffs, an allegation he vehemently denied and said he only confessed to after being tortured.",
"\"I can't say he was happy. But he didn't show any (anger).",
"He accepted the judgment,\" Hammad said.",
"The judge's ruling brings to an end a case that was the focal point of a grassroots writing campaign organized via Facebook.",
"Nearly 2,000 people wrote letters to the UAE's ambassador to the United States on Foster's behalf, demanding his release.",
"\"Thanks to everyone that who has supported me during all of this,\" Foster wrote in a brief message late Wednesday on Facebook.",
"\"I can't stress enough how much that means to me.",
"Court is in less than 12 hours.. not going to get much sleep tonight.\"",
"Foster faced up to seven years in prison on charges of theft of government property, possession of police paraphernalia and theft at night.",
"Officials in the UAE did not responded to multiple requests by CNN for comment.",
"Foster has been given credit for four days served during his initial detention and could have an additional seven days shaved off his sentence for good behavior, Hammad said.",
"The U.S. State Department has confirmed that Foster has been detained since February 26.",
"American consular officers met him on February 28 before UAE authorities released him on bail March 1.",
"Investigators claim Foster stole a pair of official police handcuffs during questioning in an unrelated matter at a Dubai police station the night before he was due to leave the city, according to his attorney, Hammad.",
"Foster has said it was a coincidence, saying he was brought in for questioning because he was in possession of a bottle of Korean rice wine -- a parting gift from colleagues.",
"He was released without charges.",
"Foster said he found the handcuffs a day earlier on the ground at a mall parking lot, about a mile and half from the police station where he was questioned.",
"\"I was thinking 'souvenir,'\" Foster told CNN last week.",
"\"They were lying on the ground.",
"So I picked them up.\" Foster, who was on his way home after a six-week stint as a contractor for Dubai Energy Water Authority, was arrested after authorities found the handcuffs in his luggage during a routine security screening at the Dubai airport.",
"After hours of maintaining his innocence during police questioning, he was beaten and forced to confess, Foster said.",
"He claims he was told to take off his shoes and socks, and handcuffed to a chair while one of two officers used a coil to whip the bottom of his feet.",
"He also said he was punched in the face.",
"Foster said he then signed a confession written in Arabic.",
"Foster said he recanted his confession after he was released from jail.",
"Nearly 2,000 people appealed to Yousef al Otaiba, the UAE ambassador to the United States, and Jeffrey D. Feltman of the State Department's Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs to intervene on Foster's behalf.",

"Washington (CNN) -- The National Transportation Safety Board hopes air traffic controllers may soon benefit from long-standing research into worker fatigue by implementing strategies that include intentional sleeping on the job, the use of caffeine and other methods shown by science to deal with the overnight shift.",
"\"A controlled nap can boost performance significantly,\" said NTSB board member Mark Rosekind at a briefing with reporters Monday at agency headquarters.",
"Citing a 1995 study from NASA that has been backed by other research, he said, \"A 26-minute nap improved performance 34% and alertness 54%.\"",
"The study prompted an advisory that has been adopted by some international air carriers to keep pilots more alert in the cockpit.",
"The measures were not moved forward by the Federal Aviation Administration.",
"Congressional lawmakers may soon consider legislation reauthorizing the FAA that includes provisions addressing the problem of fatigue.",
"The NTSB's recommendations Monday followed a listening tour of air traffic controllers around the country.",
"The board's advice is issued to federal and other agencies.",
"Inside an air traffic controller's life .",
"Referring to a variety of transportation workers who unintentionally fall asleep on the job, the NTSB official said, \"We have many circumstances of documented, uncontrolled spontaneous sleep episodes,\" including incidents among air traffic control, long-haul trucking and railroads.",
"According to the research, \"A short nap can boost performance, a long nap can make you groggy,\" Rosekind explained, saying the tactic of catching a few winks is but one element in a comprehensive plan.",
"Although U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood directed the FAA to increase overnight staffing in air traffic control towers in response to unplanned sleeping on the job, Rosekind says that alone won't solve the problem of fatigued controllers.",
"What's going on with air traffic controllers?",
"\"If you don't have a fatigue management plan, and you just throw more people at it, then you've got more tired people on,\" he said.",
"\"However many people you throw at the problem, you're still gonna have the fatigue risk.\"",
"The National Air Traffic Controllers Association also hopes the FAA will implement scientifically validated improvements to fight fatigue in the control tower.",
"In a written statement, NACTA President Paul Rinaldi said, \"There is nothing groundbreaking about these recommendations.",
"They are common-sense solutions to a problem NATCA and fatigue experts have consistently raised for years while past administrations turned a blind eye.\"",
"Rosekind says the NTSB identified the problem of fatigue among air traffic controllers 30 years ago, but only within the past 15 years or so has the research revealed what fights the problem.",

"(CNN) -- Barcelona took a big step towards setting up a semifinal showdown with Spanish rivals Real Madrid by beating Shakhtar Donetsk 5-1 in the Champions League on Wednesday.",
"The Ukrainian champions are unbeaten at home in more than two years ahead of next week's return leg, but the 2009 titleholders took control of the quarterfinal with a typically dominant display in the Catalan capital to match Real's four-goal demolition of Tottenham on Tuesday.",
"Andres Iniesta, playing further forward than his usual midfield role, settled any signs of nerves for the home fans inside two minutes when he pounced to score after Lionel Messi's intended pass to strike partner David Villa was deflected into the 2010 World Cup match-winner's path.",
"The Spain star then set up Daniel Alves for the second goal in the 34th minute with a clever pass over the defense that the Brazilian fullback pushed wide of goalkeeper Andriy Pyatov and flicked into the net with the outside of his right foot.",

"Alves turned provider eight minutes after halftime with a low corner that allowed central defender Gerard Pique to fire in a deflected shot after pulling back to lose his marker.",
"It was Pique's second goal in as many matches, having volleyed the winner from Alves' flicked-on corner against Villarreal on Saturday that put Barca eight points clear of Real in the La Liga title race.",

"(CNET) -- In an attempt to move beyond drab typography on the Web, Google on Wednesday released 18 freely usable fonts and an open-source tool designed to smooth over browser issues in displaying downloaded fonts.",
"A number of Web designers -- if not all readers -- are excited that newer browsers support downloadable fonts so sites can use more than the handful that it's safe to assume are installed already on people's computers.",

"This is where Google's move, announced at its Google I/O conference, comes in.",
"The company released 18 fonts and also announced an interface that lets Web sites use them.",

"\"With the Google Font API, using these fonts on your web page is almost as easy as using the standard set of so-called \"web-safe\" fonts that come installed on most computers.\"",

"CLEVELAND, Tennessee (CNN) -- At 14, while attending the U.S.",
"Naval Sea Cadet camp in Florida, Kaylee Marie Radzyminski asked one question to troops returning from overseas military service.",
"Their simple answer spurred the small-town teen into action.",
"Kaylee Marie Radzyminski, center in black shirt, spends her Saturdays sorting CDs and DVDs for troops overseas.",
"\"I asked, 'What was the number one thing they missed?'",
"\" recalls Radzyminski.",
"\"The first thing was, of course, their families.",
"But second to that was entertainment.\"",
"They described limited access to Internet and satellite service, with some soldiers sharing just a few DVDs or CDs with an entire unit.",
"So Radzyminski returned home and gathered her CDs and DVDs to send to the troops.",
"What started as an individual project at home is now 16-year-old Radzyminski's nationwide nonprofit, Tunes 4 the Troops.",
"Since 2005, she and volunteers have organized the collection and delivery of more than 200,000 CDs and DVDs to deployed service members around the world.",
"\"My mission is not about supporting or opposing the war, it's about supporting the troops,\" says Radzyminski, whose own family has a military background.",
"\"They sacrifice so much for us, why can't I do a little bit to give back to them?\"",
"Reaching out to friends, classmates and community members for donated discs of all kinds, Radzyminski's own community joined her cause.",
"She made disc donations easy by placing Tunes 4 the Troops collection boxes at football games, churches, neighborhood events, and community centers.",
"Her own Cleveland High School helped out by setting up an account for the school's management of financial donations -- for disc purchases, packing supplies, and shipping costs.",
"\"It first started with my collection, then my friends chipped in with their music and movies, and it just spread and spread through my community -- and now, nationwide,\" says Radzyminski.",
"\"It's great to see the amount of people that care.\"",
"When she receives a CD or DVD, Radzyminski first sends a hand-written \"thank you\" to the donor.",
"Then she separates all discs into genres and combs through them to ensure there is no explicit, burned or copied material.",
"Each disc to be sent is branded with a Tunes 4 the Troops sticker, which allows a soldier who has never heard of her organization to request more items.",
"\"That way, if they get sent to a unit, and then that unit gives it to another unit, that unit can always request a box,\" explains Radzyminski.",
"Watch Radzyminski explain the way she and volunteers support troops overseas » .",
"Each Saturday, the teen tapes, wraps and labels boxes before spending about two hours at the post office.",
"Radzyminski originally stored donations and materials in her home, but in 2006, her local Home Depot donated a small shed for Tunes 4 the Troops operations.",
"Today, the organization has about 200 satellite locations across the United States and has collected more than $3 million worth of donations.",
"They also hold yearly Outback Steakhouse fundraisers, which have grossed close to $5,000 for each of the past two years.",
"Watch Radzyminski describe the rewards of bringing entertainment to U.S. soldiers overseas » .",
"In addition to Tunes 4 the Troops, Radzyminski also runs track, maintains a 4.0 GPA, and works night shifts at a restaurant, admitting that life can get \"a bit stressful sometimes.\"",
"She recently received the Prudential Spirit of Community Service Award, missing her junior prom to be in Washington for the honor.",
"But she says her own sacrifices pale in comparison to those made by thousands of American soldiers everyday.",
"Watch soldiers overseas describe the impact Tunes 4 the Troops has had on them » .",
"\"I love what I do because it's not just affecting me, it's affecting thousands of other people,\" she says.",
"\"To have such a large outcome of happy soldiers is so worth it.\"",

"(CNN) -- Barcelona and Real Madrid lock horns Saturday in the first of four 'El Clasico' showdowns in 18 days which will define their respective campaigns in Spain and the Champions League.",
"Barcelona go into the La Liga match at the Santiago Bernabeu with an eight-point lead in the standings and with only seven games remaining.",

"(CNN) -- In a joint opinion piece to be published Friday, the leaders of the United States, Britain and France lay out in stark terms their contention that Libya's future must not include its leader, Moammar Gadhafi.",
"\"It is unthinkable that someone who has tried to massacre his own people can play a part in their future government,\" said the article, titled \"Libya's Pathway to Peace,\" by U.S. President Barack Obama, British Prime Minister David Cameron and French President Nicolas Sarkozy.",
"\"It would be an unconscionable betrayal.\"",
"The article, which is slated to appear in the International Herald Tribune, Le Figaro, and Times of London, was sent to reporters by the White House.",
"Because Gadhafi has lost the consent of his people, \"any deal that leaves him in power would lead to further chaos and lawlessness,\" it says.",
"\"We know from bitter experience what that would mean.",
"Neither Europe, the region, or the world can afford a new safe haven for extremists.\"",
"The leaders called for an end to violence and for the regime's forces to pull back from the embattled cities of Ajdabiya, Misurata and Zintan, which have been besieged by Libyan government forces.",
"\"However, so long as Gadhafi is in power, NATO must maintain its operations so that civilians remain protected and the pressure on the regime builds,\" they wrote.",

"Tokyo (CNN) -- The owners of the crippled Fukushima Daiichi power plant must start paying up to 1 million yen ($12,000) per household to residents displaced or forced indoors by the nuclear accident there, Japan's government ordered Friday.",
"The Tokyo Electric Power Company will start handing out checks \"as smoothly and as early as possible,\" hopefully by April 28, its president, Masataka Shimizu, told reporters.",
"Sole residents will receive 750,000 yen and multi-person households will get 1 million, Shimizu said, with the company's interim cost estimated at about $600 million.",
"A government committee ordered the payments as an advance on the compensation that Tokyo Electric will owe nearby residents and businesses for the month-old crisis at Fukushima Daiichi, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano said Friday.",
"Edano said the government hopes to have payments in residents' hands by Japan's \"Golden Week,\" a string of national holidays that begins April 29.",
"Tokyo Electric offered a token payment to residents of 10 municipalities around the plant in early April.",
"But officials in one of those towns, Namie, rejected the offer, saying it amounted to about $12 for each of its roughly 20,000 residents.",
"Tokyo Electric has no timetable for resolving the accident, and the yet-unknown cost of compensation has called the survival of Japan's largest utility into question.",
"The Japanese government has agreed to support the company to keep power flowing to its 25 million customers without big rate increases, Deputy Finance Minister Fumihiko Igarashi told CNN, but he said a government takeover of the utility was unlikely.",
"\"The way the government will approach that is still in the decision process,\" Igarashi said.",
"The utility reported 2010 profits of more than 1.4 trillion yen ($17 billion).",
"About 78,000 people living within 20 kilometers (12.4 miles) of the plant were ordered out of their homes in the days after the March 11 accident, which now is ranked at the top of the international scale for nuclear disasters.",
"Those living another 10 kilometers out were told to remain indoors as the plant belched radioactive particles into the environment from three damaged reactors.",
"Monday, Japanese authorities told residents of five municipalities in that outer belt and beyond to evacuate within a month, due to lower levels of radioactive contamination that are likely to pose a long-term health hazard.",
"Other towns have been put on notice that evacuations may be required soon, bringing the total number of people directly affected so far to about 146,000, according to Japanese government estimates.",
"But in Washington, the U.S. State Department on Friday lifted a departure recommendation for families of U.S. diplomats in Japan.",
"While it still advises Americans to stay more than 50 kilometers from the plant, the latest notice calls the situation \"dramatically different\" than in mid-March.",
"\"Today, while the situation remains serious, and there is still a possibility of unanticipated developments, cooling efforts are ongoing and successful, power, water supply, and back-up services have been partially or fully restored, and planning has begun to control radioactive contamination and mitigate future dangers,\" the travel alert states.",
"Plant workers have been battling to cool the cores of reactors 1-3 at Fukushima Daiichi, about 240 kilometers (150 miles) north of Tokyo, for a month.",
"The plant was swamped by the tsunami that followed March 11's historic earthquake, knocking out normal coolant systems.",
"All three cores are believed to have been damaged by overheating in the aftermath of the tsunami, but a Friday report by the Atomic Energy Society of Japan painted a fresh picture of the extent of the damage.",
"The zirconium alloy sheaths that surround the fuel rods in the reactor core are believed to have ruptured in all three units, sending molten uranium fuel pellets tumbling to the bottom of the reactors.",
"The pellets are since believed to have cooled and solidified at the reactor bases or in the framework of the fuel assembly, according to the report.",
"The Atomic Energy Society is an association of nuclear engineers, scientists and professors.",
"Its deputy director, Takashi Sawada, called the new account the clearest picture to date of conditions inside the damaged reactors.",
"\"It's our best effort to imagine what the core looks like,\" he said.",
"About 70% of the fuel rods in the No.",
"1 reactor have been damaged, the report states.",
"In reactor No. 2, that figure is 30%, and in No.",
"3, 25%. In addition, the pools that house used but still-energetic spent fuel assemblies are an ongoing concern, Sawada said.",
"Hydrogen explosions blew apart the reactor buildings at units 1 and 2, while the No.",
"4 reactor building has been damaged by fires of still-unknown origin -- leaving the pools exposed to the environment.",
"\"If there's water enough, there's no problem,\" he said.",
"\"But if some of the fuel is damaged, fission products will come out from those pools.\"",
"At the plant on Friday, efforts continued to drain highly radioactive water from the basements and service tunnels of the reactor units' turbine plants -- a necessary first step to restoring normal cooling systems.",
"Japanese authorities drew the ire of fishermen and some of their country's neighbors by authorizing the dumping of thousands of tons of less-contaminated water into the Pacific Ocean last week.",
"The 10,000-plus ton discharge was billed as an emergency measure aimed at making room for the more dangerous fluid, some of which is believed to be leaking from the No.",
"2 reactor. More than 9,000 tons of that came from a waste treatment facility at the plant, which could hold up to 30,000 tons now that it's empty, Tokyo Electric officials said.",
"Crews have been laying fresh pipes to the treatment center and hope to start transferring water from unit 2 on Sunday, the company said.",
"But its capacity could be only a fraction of the volume now sloshing around in the turbine building basements, and engineers are still pouring hundreds of tons of water into the reactors every day to keep them cool.",
"Susan Olson and CNN's Paula Hancocks contributed to this report for CNN."

"Tripoli, Libya (CNN) -- For all the talk in diplomatic circles this week of finding peace for Libya, one thing remained clear Saturday: The war is raging unabated in Misrata.",
"In the city under siege from Moammar Gadhafi's forces and mostly inaccessible for journalists, other than those on government-organized tours, residents reported disturbing new developments Saturday.",
"An opposition council member told CNN that loyalists were using bombs that look like perfume bottles.",
"Photographs suggested they were shells fired from a grenade launcher that either did not explode on impact or were deliberately masked and placed in populated areas.",
"Either way, they were proving lethal.",
"The council member said Saturday that people have had their limbs blown off and children have been killed.",
"The report comes a day after Human Rights Watch reported its members saw three cluster bombs explode Thursday night over Misrata's el-Shawahda neighborhood.",
"Researchers with the activist group inspected debris and interviewed witnesses about two other apparent cluster bombings, the report said.",
"\"We hear explosions that sound like one big explosion followed by many smaller ones.",
"We were told this is a cluster bomb,\" said the council member.",
"He, like many other Libyans, did not want to be identified for safety reasons.",
"The Libyan government has denied the use of such bombs, which are banned internationally because of their indiscriminate nature and ability to harm civilians even after a conflict ends.",
"Ahmed Hassan of the Misrata opposition council said at least five people were killed and 44 others were wounded Saturday, after one witness saw a hail of rockets fall on the central Libyan city.",
"Gadhafi's forces also bombed several food and dairy production factories, including ones that produce milk and oil, Hassan said.",
"Terrified residents are going out in groups of 20 or 30 to fetch bread.",
"They are too scared to venture out alone.",
"\"No one and nowhere is safe in Misrata,\" Hassan said.",
"Medecins Sans Frontieres said Saturday that it had evacuated nearly 100 people by boat from Misrata.",
"Most were suffering war-related injuries.",
"The boat arrived in Zarzis, Tunisia, on Saturday.",
"The international medical humanitarian group (known as Doctors Without Borders in English) said ongoing fighting has cut off people from medical assistance and hospitals and clinics are overwhelmed with casualties.",
"\"For weeks now, health structures have been struggling to cope with the influx of patients,\" said Dr. Morten Rostrup, an MSF doctor who participated in the evacuation.",
"\"With the latest heavy bombardments in Misrata, the situation is worsening as hospitals have to discharge patients before their treatment is completed in order to treat those wounded by fighting,\" Rostrup said in a statement.",
"The International Organization for Migration said Saturday that a chartered boat filled with hundreds of tons of humanitarian aid was heading to Misrata.",
"The group's first boat rescued 1,200 migrant workers and their families who had been stranded around the city's port, which has been bombarded daily by Gadhafi's forces according to witnesses.",
"Deeper inside the city, witnesses for weeks have reported dire conditions, including food shortages and the persistent fear of pro-Gadhafi snipers taking aim at anyone walking on the streets.",
"A clinic director told CNN at least 700 people have died since the violence erupted in Misrata two months ago.",
"Meanwhile, a Misrata opposition council member accused Gadhafi of using Libyan state television as an effective command-and-control center after NATO airstrikes damaged lines of communications and made troop control difficult.",
"The council member said Gadhafi has been sending orders to his troops through coded messages aired on state television and the rebels have been trying to decode them in order to defend themselves.",
"He gave these examples: .",
"-- An anchor claimed that a bird laid a green egg in an area of Benghazi.",
"The anchor hailed this as a miracle and a sign of an upcoming victory for Gadhafi's forces.",
"The next day that exact area was attacked by what the councilman described as sleeper cells in Benghazi.",
"-- During the weather forecast, a map indicated a large storm over the port area of Misrata.",
"No storm ever appeared, but the next day Gadhafi's forces attacked Misrata by sea.",
"-- An anchor claimed that a honey bee spelled out Moammar with honey in Darnah.",
"Once again, it was hailed as a miracle and a sign of an upcoming victory for Gadhafi's forces.",
"The next day, sleeper cells in Darnah launched an attack.",
"Despite weeks of aerial bombardment by international fighter jets, Gadhafi has shown no signs of acquiescing.",
"He remains as defiant as ever despite calls this week again from global leaders attending a Libya conference in Qatar and a sternly worded newspaper opinion piece by U.S. President Barack Obama, French President Nicolas Sarkozy and British Prime Minister David Cameron.",
"But how to protect civilians has become an increasingly complex question.",
"At a news conference in Benghazi, the deputy chairman of Libya's Transitional National Council appealed to the international community to help prevent further tragedy.",
"He said 1.5 million Libyans were under attack every day.",
"\"We already have warned before that the regime was threatening real massacres against innocent civilians,\" Abdul Hafiz Ghoga told reporters.",
"\"The international community is now witnessing what this regime is capable of.",
"The destruction in Misrata and other cities is unacceptable.\"",
"In Tripoli, four thundering explosions were heard Saturday evening -- believed to have been caused by NATO airstrikes -- followed by about 30 minutes of sustained anti-aircraft fire.",
"Later that night, hundreds gathered outside Gadhafi's compound in the capital, with some saying they'd be willing to act as \"human shields\" as long as NATO warplanes targeted the manpower and infrastructure being used in support of the Libyan leader.",
"\"Everyone here will die for Moammar Gadhafi,\" one young man told CNN.",
"On the eastern front lines of the battle, rebels were still fighting to regain control of the oil town of al-Brega, which has changed hands several times already.",
"\"We need weapons to defend our people,\" Ghoga said.",
"NATO has said it needs more precision fighter jets because loyalist maneuvers have made airstrikes much more difficult without harming civilians.",
"\"Now they hide their heavy arms in populated areas, where before many targets were easier to get to,\" said NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen earlier this week.",
"\"To avoid civilian casualties, we need very sophisticated equipment.",
"So we need a few more precision fighter ground-attack aircraft for air-to-ground missions.\"",
"A witness in Misrata said NATO planes were flying overhead Saturday, but he had not seen evidence of bombing.",

"Clearwater, Florida (CNN) -- Jury selection in the case of Casey Anthony, who is charged in the death of her 2-year-old daughter, continued Tuesday as attorneys removed several people from the viable jury pool.",

"Islamabad, Pakistan (CNN) -- Pakistan has issued a strongly-worded statement condemning a deadly, suspected U.S. drone strike in the country's tribal region.",
"\"Drone attacks have become a core irritant in the counter-terror campaign,\" a statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said Wednesday.",

"Pakistan's Foreign Secretary has lodged a strong protest with the U.S.",
"Ambassador, according to the statement, and the government has \"taken up the matter with the U.S. at all levels.\"",
"Six suspected militants were killed Wednesday when a suspected drone fired two missiles at a hideout in South Waziristan, Pakistani intelligence officials told CNN.",
"The officials asked not to be named because they are not authorized to speak to the media.",
"Drone strikes are now carried out autonomously by the CIA, a senior Pakistani intelligence official told CNN earlier.",
"\"It's unilateral action,\" he said as he expressed dismay at Wednesday's strike.",
"The U.S. does not officially acknowledge the Central Intelligence Agency's secret drone program in Pakistan, but it is the only country operating in the region with the capacity to carry out such strikes.",
"It was once widely believed that the program had the tacit approval and cooperation of Pakistan's intelligence agency.",
"Pakistani intelligence officials say Islamabad has asked the U.S. to curtail its drone strikes in remote tribal areas.",
"\"We are not necessarily saying stop.",
"What we are saying is irrespective of tactical games, this is not useful in the long run,\" one source told CNN.",
"\"We need a relook and to not be too trigger happy and be selective.\"",
"Wednesday's strike is the first since March 17, when a drone strike in North Waziristan killed 44 people -- most of them civilians, two Pakistani sources said.",

"Casablanca, Morocco (CNN) -- Morocco's Facebook youth movement Fevrier 20 has called on civil society groups the length of the country to participate in a nationwide demonstration Sunday.",
"The youth group's main aim is to draw massive attention to the subject of corruption in this North African country, which was recently ranked at the 89th most corrupt in the world by Transparency International.",
"Despite a government initiative to crack down on corruption with a two-year plan -- rolled out in October -- and a recent law to protects whistle-blowers, most Moroccans believe that graft is a key issue that needs to be tackled head-on.",
"Government initiatives are widely regarded as ineffective.",
"Corruption accounts for a loss of about 2% of Morocco's GDP, officials have said.",
"More important, it deters vital foreign direct investment from flowing into Morocco, they say.",
"The 45,000-strong movement is said to be supported by most of Morocco's non-governmental organizations, according to press reports.",
"\"We call to demonstrate peacefully in all the towns to put an end to corruption, to injustice and for a real democracy in our country,\" explained one youth on a video posted on the movement's Facebook page.",
"The movement, which is often criticized as having been infiltrated by mainstream politicians from various parties, is expected to put as much pressure as possible on King Mohammed VI.",
"He recently pledged a considerable overhaul of the country's political setup, including the election of a prime minister, rather than appointment, and the shift of power from the capital to the regions.",
"The king is widely revered in Morocco, yet many Moroccans are skeptical about whether real reforms will be implemented in a new political landscape he hopes to unveil in mid-June, after a special constitutional commission finalizes its work on the blueprint.",
"Many world leaders, such as U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and French President Nicolas Sarkozy, see the plan as a bold example for other Arab countries to follow.",
"Clinton recently said that the move represented a \"model for others in the region\" that holds \"great promise first and foremost for the Moroccan people.\"",
"Yet few Moroccans are so upbeat about the new constitution, as there seems to be little in it to give hope to many who want concrete initiatives to reduce corruption.",
"\"The main areas of concern when we talk about corruption in Morocco are the judiciary, police and hospitals,\" Transparency International's local chief Rachid Filali Meknassi said.",
"\"We need a real followup to a lot of initiatives which were taken in previous years so that political corruption can no longer infiltrate the justice system.\"",
"Judges in Morocco are appointed by the justice minister and the king in theory but in reality are installed by their own political parties, which in turn advise them on how to conclude cases.",
"\"To give you an idea how bad it is in the judiciary,\" Filali Meknassi said, \"we conducted a survey in 2005 and found that the majority of judges and lawyers in Morocco have no faith in the system being free of corruption.",
"We also know through our own call center that in some cases, judges can be individually persuaded with incentives.\"",
"Despite numerous reports commissioned by the government on corruption in the judiciary, along with the establishment of an anti-fraud body and a special \"accountability\" court, not one prosecution has been processed against a judge.",
"In 2008, the Ministry of Justice processed about 6,000 corruption cases across all government departments, although there were few obvious results.",
"In the same year, the accountability court conducted 245 audits of national governmental offices and 198 of local authorities.",
"The court's report focused on graft in the Health Ministry, the National Investment and Development Fund and several local mayors.",
"There were also no prosecutions by the year's end.",
"Fevrier 20 hopes that Sunday's demonstrations will attract more than 300,000 people in all major Moroccan cities and present an unprecedented stand against the present rhetoric attached to the new constitution.",
"But the group doesn't specifically want to target corruption in government ministries.",
"\"We want a new constitution, which will define exactly what the new rules and regulations are in place to stop corruption,\" explained Said Benjebli, one of the movement's architects who edits the main Facebook page.",
"\"All we have at the moment is speeches, and the laws are not working,\" he said.",
"\"There are people in Morocco who have become millionaires due to being given public contracts just through their contact with the king.",
"This has to stop. But then even smaller-scale corruption, like those who can't get a job despite having the qualifications, is also important.\""
