"Lima, Peru (CNN) -- Even though a Peruvian judge postponed a preliminary hearing for Joran van der Sloot Wednesday, it still was a dramatic day in court for the father of the young woman van der Sloot is accused of killing.",
"Ricardo Flores said Wednesday was the first time he saw the alleged killer of his daughter face to face.",
"\"It was a very tough moment,\" he told CNN shortly after leaving a courtroom inside Lima's Castro Castro prison, noting that it seemed van der Sloot was enjoying many privileges.",
"\"I thought I'd see someone skinny ... but no, he was fatter than when he first went to prison.\"",
"The judge rescheduled the closed-door hearing -- which involves some evidence in the case -- for next Tuesday, because van der Sloot did not have legal representation in the courtroom Wednesday, Flores said.",
"His daughter, Stephany Flores, was found dead in a Lima hotel room registered to van der Sloot in May 2010.",
"Police say van der Sloot took money and bank cards from her wallet and fled to Chile, where he was arrested a few days later.",
"Earlier this month, van der Sloot's defense attorney, Maximo Altez, resigned, citing unspecified differences in strategy.",
"If van der Sloot does not have an attorney next week, the judge said he would appoint one, Flores said.",
"The 23-year-old van der Sloot was once the prime suspect in the disappearance in Aruba of American Natalee Holloway, who vanished at age 18 while on a graduation trip.",
"He was arrested twice but never charged in connection with her disappearance.",
"Shortly after his 2010 arrest, a federal grand jury in Alabama indicted him on charges that he tried to extort $250,000 from the Holloway family.",
"Van der Sloot offered to provide what turned out to be bogus information about the whereabouts of Natalee Holloway's remains in exchange for the money, according to the indictment.",
"Peruvian authorities have yet to file formal charges against van der Sloot.",
"Once the discovery phase of the case ends, prosecutors will file charges and a trial date will be set.",
"It could be weeks before the Peruvian trial begins.",
"Ricardo Flores said the family hoped van der Sloot would be charged with robbery and homicide, which would carry a maximum sentence of life in prison.",
"Before his resignation from the case, Altez told In Session his client attacked Flores after she found something on his computer that tied him to Holloway.",
"He gave In Session a copy of a motion he filed asking that van der Sloot face a lesser charge for a crime of passion.",
"\"My client ... admits having murdered the victim, but not with ferocity, for profit or pleasure, nor any of the other element(s) that make up this murder, but only by violent emotion that overtook him at the time he was attacked by the victim,\" the motion read.",
"However, Ricardo Flores and Edward Alvarez, an attorney representing the Flores family, argued that a police investigation indicated the last time anyone had searched for information about Holloway on van der Sloot's computer was the day before Flores' death -- suggesting the attorney's explanation that van der Sloot attacked Flores after she read an e-mail on his computer was a lie.",
"\"That hypothesis has already been defeated,\" Ricardo Flores said Wednesday.",
"Despite the latest delay in the case, he said he was confident that justice would prevail, and that he would be able to face van der Sloot in court again.",
"\"I am confident that God will give me the strength,\" he said.",
"In Session's Mayra Cuevas contributed to this report."

"\"You all have been a safe harbor for me,\" Winfrey told her audience.",
"\"My hope is that you will be that safe harbor for someone else.\"",
"The media mogul signed off by walking through her audience and offering an e-mail address -- oprah@oprah.com -- by which her many fans may contact her.",
"\"I want you to know that what you have to say matters to me,\" she said, pledging to read as many e-mails as possible.",
"Minute-by-minute blog of Wednesday's show .",

"Winfrey said she has no regrets, though wished she could have done more to combat sexual predators of children.",
"She then turned to Perry, who sat beside 200 other men in the audience who were once victims of sexual abuse as children.",
"\"They are standing together to lift the veil of shame,\" she said.",
"Each man carried a photo of himself as a child.",
"Photos: Oprah through the years .",
"In the end, Winfrey said her departure isn't bittersweet, but rather \"all sweet and no bitter.\"",

"So I thank you all for your support and trust in me.",
"I thank you for tuning in every day. ...",
"I won't say good-bye, I'll just say, until we meet again.\"",
"Beyond her studio audience, people like Funda Ray also reminisced about how Winfrey turned her daytime talk show into a televised forum for self-help.",
"When Ray arrived on these shores two decades ago from her native Turkey, she hardly spoke English.",
"But she learned, went to school and even college.",
"Today, she works as a financial adviser's assistant.",
"And she said it's all because of Oprah.",
"\"She inspired me so much,\" said Ray, 44, of Hibbing, Minnesota.",
"\"If it wasn't for her, I would have sat at home.\"",
"Gayle King: \"Oprah was so ready for this moment\" Ray was recording the last episode of Oprah Winfrey's show Wednesday -- she couldn't be home in time to watch.",
"\"I'm going to miss her so much,\" she said.",
"The talk show queen capped three days of farewell broadcasts that included appearances by Hollywood's top celebrities.",
"Winfrey announced in 2009 that she was leaving the show that catapulted her into a household name and made her a part of American culture and a worldwide celebrity.",
"Even Ray's mother, who arrived from Istanbul for a U.S. visit last week, got off the plane and asked her daughter: \"Do you know Oprah is retiring?\"",
"Winfrey's popularity and credibility go hand in hand: If she gushed about a book, it became an instant best-seller.",
"An appearance on her show was almost always followed by a rise in profile for the guest.",
"Paula Pervall, 44, administrative assistant at the Elmhurst House of Friendship, an assisted living home in Wheeling, West Virginia, is among millions of Oprah fans.",
"Oprah fans hold viewing parties .",
"\"I think that it's sad that the up-and-coming generation is not going to be able to experience what she offered my generation -- the self-help, the inspiration to do better,\" Pervall said.",
"\"She was very inspiring to people.",
"She taught a lot of lessons.\"",
"The most important lesson?",
"\"To be the best me that I can be,\" she said. Oprah has had many great people on the show, Pervall said.",
"She remembers the woman who had the face transplant; she was from West Virginia -- \"that one jumps out at me.\"",

"Show producers kept her out of the loop about the guests.",
"iReporters weigh in on Oprah's impact and legacy .",
"Winfrey, who has in the past made it clear that she does not like surprises, gasped as her celebrity friends made appearances to thunderous applause, sometimes after a clue phrase.",
"\"Pulling off this surprise has been mission impossible,\" Hanks said Monday, a nod to the famous movie starring Cruise, who walked on stage right after.",
"Winfrey took in the scene in an arena filled with giant photographs of memorable show moments and thousands of adoring admirers.",
"Winfrey had kept mum about plans for the final show, leaving her fans with one last surprise.",
"Kathy Pittman, 55, of Columbus, Ohio, won't find out until Saturday.",
"She'll be watching it with her daughter then, after the work week is over.",
"For Pittman, who is African-American, Winfrey transcended racial barriers with her talk show.",
"She first connected with Winfrey just months after the debut of \"The Oprah Winfrey Show\" when the host visited Forsyth County, Georgia, a hotbed of racial tensions at the time.",
"Pittman was intrigued by Winfrey's courage and her confidence to put herself in the middle of a volatile situation.",
"Opinion: There will never be another Oprah .",
"\"No one sees her as a black woman,\" Pittman said.",
"\"She appeals to everyone.",
"She showed us ... that you can do whatever you want to, that the sky's the limit.\"",
"It was refreshing to see an African-American woman rise to such enormous power and then use it to help heal the world, said Sondra Miller, 33, vice president of community engagement for Cleveland's rape crisis center.",
"\"I think Oprah has built credibility over the years,\" said Miller, a subscriber to Winfrey's magazine and viewer of her show from childhood.",
"\"She takes topics with an extreme amount of stigma, like sexual abuse, and makes people OK to talk about it.\"",
"Male survivors of sexual abuse was one such topic, Miller said.",
"Winfrey interviewed actor, director and producer Tyler Perry about his own experience and had an audience filled with such survivors.",
"Miller thought that was remarkable.",
"\"I don't think we ever could have imagined that happening 10 years ago,\" she said.",
"Miller was drawn to Winfrey's knack for approaching intimidating topics in a sensitive and empowering manner.",
"For many of her fans, Winfrey's last show was history in the making.",
"Her show will end, they said, but her legacy is lasting.",
"Part of it will live on through runner Raymond Britt, 50, who first saw Winfrey at the Chicago Marathon in 1994.",
"He had never run a race before, let alone a marathon.",
"There was so much behind him but so far to go still -- five miles to the finish line.",
"At mile 21, he caught a glimpse of Winfrey, who had just run the Marine Corps Marathon, cheering on the runners.",
"She stood alone, without an entourage, simply encouraging everyone to keep going.",
"\"If she could do it, then I could do it,\" thought Britt, of Winnetka, Illinois.",
"He finished that day and went on to run 125 more races, including 85 marathons.",
"\"It's possible I wouldn't have finished that first one without Oprah at the 21,\" he said.",
"\"She inspires the human race.\"",
"And part of it will live on through Britney Deatherage, 26, of Lexington, Kentucky, who watched the shows with her mother and became a fan.",
"The topics were more than current events, said Deatherage, a hairdresser.",
"They focused on \"people's real lives and what they experienced.\"",
"\"She's just kind of like an idol to every woman,\" she said, illustrating that \"women can be what they want to be.\"",
"Winfrey is one of the most recognizable talk show hosts and has built a media empire, including launching her own cable television network, OWN.",
"\"My vision for OWN is to create a network that inspires our viewers and makes them want to be who they are on their best day,\" Winfrey said.",
"As Winfrey devotees mourn the end of her 25-year run, some speculate who -- if anyone -- can fill her void.",
"Some already have a leg up on the competition.",
"\"I've spent seven to eight years training at Oprah University,\" joked Mehmet \"Dr. Oz\" Oz, a Winfrey protege whose show will upgrade to 83 time slots and stations where \"The Oprah Winfrey Show\" had aired.",
"Oz added that he is grateful for the opportunity to take over the time slot, which is among the most sought-after in TV land.",
"Winfrey's show made people like Dominique Taylor, 23, of Brooklyn reorient their lives.",
"Taylor rescheduled her cheerleading practice, her voice lessons, everything around 4 p.m. so that she could be home in front of the television.",
"Winfrey made the young woman laugh, made her cry.",
"Today, Taylor sees herself as an embodiment of Winfrey's show, another part of her legacy.",
"She's a young filmmaker who hopes to involve Winfrey's production company in her project.",
"\"Her show was a platform for so many people to tell their story, for them to know they weren't alone,\" Taylor said.",
"At 4 p.m. every day, Taylor, like millions of others, felt that she mattered.",

"(CNN) -- The return of wild oryx to the deserts of the Arabian Peninsula is being hailed as a conservation success story.",
"The latest International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species states that the wild population of the two-horned antelope species now stands at around 1,000, nearly 40 years after the last wild animal was hunted and killed.",
"\"To have brought the Arabian Oryx back from the brink of extinction is a major feat, one which we hope will be repeated many times over for other threatened species,\" said Razan Khalifa Al Mubarak, Director General of the Environment Agency -- Abu Dhabi.",
"The species is now listed as \"vulnerable\" and is the first time an animal listed as \"extinct in the wild\" has improved its status by three categories.",
"The turn-around has been the result of conservation efforts that began in 1982 in Oman.",
"Captive bred oryx were successfully released back into the desert habitats of the country and then in regions of Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Israel and Jordan.",
"Known locally as Al Maha, the Arabian Oryx is thought to be uniquely adapted to living in harsh, dry environments with its ability to smell water from miles away.",

"Abidjan, Ivory Coast (CNN) -- The Ivorian government announced the creation Thursday of a national investigation commission on the crimes perpetrated during the post-election crisis amid mounting pressure fom human rights organizations and the United Nations.",
"Bruno Kone, spokesman for the government, made the announcement on national TV, following a Cabinet meeting.",
"The \"national investigation commission will shed light on all the human rights violations perpetrated during the post-electoral crisis,\" said Kone.",
"\"The president called for all investigations to be carried out without delay so that those responsible could be identified and be applied sanctions if needed,\" the statement added.",
"President Alassane Ouattara has recurrently promised no mercy for human rights abusers no matter which side of the conflict there are from.",
"But Human Rights Watch pointed out earlier Wednesday in a statement by senior West Africa researcher Corinne Dufk that \"no one from Ouattara's camp had yet been arrested for abuses committed during the post-electoral conflict.\"",
"\"There is a growing divide between the Ouattara government's rhetoric that no one is above the law and the reality that justice appears one-sided and delayed,\" the statement said.",
"So far those who are under investigation currently, either by the military prosecutor or by the civilian prosecutor, are all from the former officials of the government of Laurent Gbagbo, said Suleiman Baldo, a member of a U.N. investigation team on Ivory Coast post-electoral violence.",
"U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay said she is concerned by the violence following the disputed election, including reports of summary executions, rape, torture and the use of children by parties to the conflict.",
"\"We need concerted action designed to break the cycle of impunity, bring perpetrators to justice and rehabilitate victims in their rights and dignity,\" Pillay said in a statement Wednesday.",
"Rights groups have said both sides violated human rights.",
"\"Some of the crimes committed during the post-electoral crisis are particularly serious and might well constitute crimes against humanity,\" said Vitit Muntabhorn, who leads the commission of inquiry into Ivory Coast.",
"\"This can be said, for example, of the generalized and systematic attacks on communities who were targeted because of their supposed political beliefs or their ethnicity.\"",
"More than 300,000 people are still displaced two months after the political crisis was settled, the U.S. State Department said this week.",
"Displaced people are further at risk because they are in areas with food shortages and the threat of disease, heightened by the rainy season.",
"Ongoing violence has also prevented their return home.",
"Communal tensions are still high in the southwestern Sassandra region, where more than 280 civilians were killed last month by mercenaries on the run from the commercial capital of Abidjan, the U.N. refugee agency said.",
"\"Many of the dead are buried in mass graves,\" said Melissa Fleming, a spokeswoman for the refugee agency.",
"About 17,000 people are displaced in that region, including an unknown number still hiding in the forest, she said.",
"Ouattara has urged the International Criminal Court to investigate major crimes committed during the political standoff.",
"This month, the United Nations called for investigations after reports of attacks by forces loyal to Ouattara in areas known to support Gbagbo.",
"\"The new government must show zero tolerance for the behavior of some elements of the Republican troops who continue to commit exactions,\" Muntabhorn said.",
"Ouattara has named former Prime Minister Jean Konan Bany to a truth and reconciliation commission.",
"The west African nation plunged into bloody chaos after a disputed presidential vote in November.",
"Incumbent leader Laurent Gbagbo defied international calls to step down after he lost the election to Ouattara.",

"(CNN) -- It was wet, cold and windy, and he hadn't been in contention to win golf's oldest tournament for 10 years, but Darren Clarke finally made the breakthrough at the British Open on Sunday.",
"Two decades after he first entered the season's third major event, the 42-year-old made history as he triumphed by three shots from Americans Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson in its 140th staging at Royal St. George's in England.",
"Clarke, whose previous best finish was runner-up in 1997, lifted the coveted Claret Jug at his 21st attempt -- breaking the record of the tournament's previous longest wait, the 15-try streak that Zimbabwean Nick Price snapped in 1994.",
"He is the oldest British Open winner since Roberto de Vicenzo's 1967 victory aged 44, and the oldest of any major champion since 43-year-old Ben Crenshaw won the 1995 Masters.",
"Ugly and unforgiving: Why Britain offers golf's toughest test .",
"\"It's been a long and bumpy road, I have had some good things happen to me and some bad things, but I've had so much support from an awful lot of people,\" Clarke said at the prize-giving ceremony.",
"\"I'd like to thank my parents and my fiancee Alison, and there's someone up there watching as well.",
"To everybody, thank you very much.\"",
"Clarke became the third player from Northern Ireland to win a major title in the past 13 months, following Rory McIlroy's U.S. Open triumph last month and Graeme McDowell's success at the same tournament last year.",
"He is the first from his country to win the British Open since Fred Daly in 1947.",
"See highlights of the 2011 British Open on Golf.com .",
"Clarke's agent Chubby Chandler now has three current major champions in his stable, with South African Charl Schwartzel winning the Masters in April before McIlroy's eight-shot triumph at Congressional.",

"Clarke dedicated his victory to his sons Tyrone and Conor, who were back in Northern Ireland where the family has returned after years living in London.",
"\"It's for the kids. They played Royal Portrush (golf course) this morning and were watching on TV,\" he said.",
"Clarke, who last finished in the top-10 when he placed third at Royal Lytham & St. Anne's in 2001, could afford to bogey the final two holes as he carded a level-par 70.",
"It was his worst score in four rounds at the links course, which has been buffeted by the weather this week, as he took home the $1.45 million first prize to the cheers of the crowd in Sandwich.",
"Having started the final day one shot ahead of 27-year-old Johnson, Clarke faced a strong challenge from fellow 40-something Mickelson.",
"The left-hander, seeking to add the British Open to his three Masters and one U.S. PGA Championship crown, carded three birdies and an eagle to grab a share of the lead.",
"But Clarke restored his advantage as he also picked up two shots at the par-five seventh and then rattled off nine successive pars despite the difficult conditions, while his main rivals faltered.",
"Mickelson's challenge fell apart at the 11th hole, where he missed a routine short par putt.",
"More bogeys followed at 13, 15 and 16 as he finished with a 68 to be two-under 278 for the tournament.",
"Johnson, seeking his first major title, drove out of bounds at the 14th and his double-bogey there handed Clarke a four-shot buffer.",
"He also dropped a shot at 18 to fall back level with Mickelson.",
"First-round leader Thomas Bjorn, whose father died in May, finished fourth on 279 after the 40-year-old Dane closed with 71.",
"He was followed by three Americans -- Rickie Fowler (72), Anthony Kim (70) and Chad Campbell (69) -- who were tied for fifth on 280.",
"France's Raphael Jacquelin was eighth on 281, while Spain's Sergio Garcia, Englishman Simon Dyson and U.S. Ryder Cup captain Davis Love tied for ninth on 282.",

"(CNN) -- The Boston Bruins won their first Stanley Cup in 39 years, defeating the Vancouver Canucks 4-0 Wednesday night in the seventh and deciding game of the National Hockey League's annual championship.",
"The loss didn't go over well with hundreds of mostly young Canuck fans, who took to the streets and set several overturned vehicles afire a few blocks from Rogers Arena where the game was played.",
"Some fans stopped to pose in front of the flames.",
"Others danced on top of another overturned vehicle.",
"A dull cloud of gray smoke choked some areas of downtown.",
"iReport: Fires, rioting and looting in Vancouver .",
"Aerial footage showed Vancouver police wading into the unruly crowd that continually taunted and threw things at the officers.",
"Members of the crowd leaped over one street fire, and officers wrestled several fans to the ground.",

"\"We're working hard to get everyone home safe.\"",
"Freelance Journalist Jorge Contreras told CNN that 1,000-2,000 people were on the streets in downtown Vancouver, and that six police vehicles had been set on fire.",
"After dropping the first two games in Vancouver, the Bruins took four of the last five games from the Canucks, who struggled to stay in Game Seven after going down 1-0 in the first period.",
"The Bruins blew open the game in the second, after rookie Brad Marchand sprung on a rebound off of Canuck goalie Roberto Luongo to put away his second goal of the match.",
"\"We knew the second goal was going to be huge,\" Marchand, the 23-year-old rookie said in a post-game interview.",
"\"It was nice to get that one, and we kept pushing forward after that.\"",
"Marchand would finish the game with two goals and one assist.",
"But the game was really decided by Thomas, who polished off his spectacular playoff performance with a Game Seven shutout to take the coveted Conn Smythe trophy.",

"He also shattered Johnny Bower's 1960s record for most saves in a Stanley Cup final.",
"Coming into the series, Vancouver was considered the superior squad on special teams, especially on power plays.",
"But that wasn't the case in this year's Stanley Cup, as Boston put away five power play goals to Vancouver's two.",
"Vancouver was also outscored 10-0 in the second period.",
"\"We finally brought our game from home on the road,\" Zdeno Chara told Team Radio Canada.",
"\"We played physical and took care of the puck, played extremely hard and paid attention to the details.\"",
"Patrice Bergeron's first period goal should have been enough for fans to know the game's outcome, as the team that scored the first goal won every game in this series.",
"The Bruins now have won the Stanley Cup six times, fourth-most among all NHL franchises, but hadn't captured the sport's most coveted prize since 1972.",

"Lagos, Nigeria (CNN) -- The term of service for the president should be extended from its current four years -- renewable once -- to a single term of \"a little more than four years,\" Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan said Tuesday in a statement.",
"He said he will send a bill to National Assembly to pass the changes to the constitution that would set the parameters he is seeking.",
"It will be his first bill since he took the reins of power in April.",
"Jonathan insisted he would not benefit from the change, since it would not go into effect until the next election, in 2015.",
"But it was not clear that he was being sincere.",
"Several presidential sources told CNN that Jonathan is pushing for a six- or seven-year term.",
"And, though he implied this year during a speech in East Africa that he would not run again in 2015, Jonathan has never made such a statement publicly in Nigeria.",
"The last elections, in April, were among the most violent in the country's history and influential elements (particularly from the predominantly Muslim north of the country who feel it is their turn to have the presidency) staunchly oppose his extending his hold on power.",
"April's elections pitted residents of the country's north against those of the (predominantly Christian) south, where Jonathan is from.",
"Since then, violence in the north has escalated -- much of it attributed to the Islamic militant group Boko Haram and almost daily attacks in the northeastern city of Maiduguri.",
"Such violence could escalate still further, as could attacks in the capital city of Abuja, where many residents resent what they consider to have been Jonathan's hijacking of the election from the north.",
"Though Jonathan took power in May, his hold on it remains tenuous: He has yet to form a complete cabinet; has failed to push through passage of a major petroleum bill; and has failed to quell violence in the north.",
"Public expectation is for him to encourage economic growth and investment, as well as private reforms in the power sector -- the two main issues of his campaign platform.",
"It would be difficult to focus on these two major areas if the start of his presidency is focused on such a controversial bill.",
"The length of the presidential term has been a hot-button issue for years.",
"Jonathan's predecessor, Olusegun Obasanjo, attempted to run for a third term before his constitutionally approved two-term limit expired in 2007.",
"That bid failed in the face of opposition from the north.",
"Jonathan's bill could be seen as a \"rebranding\" of Obasanjo's attempt to push third-term bill.",
"In his envisaged bill, the tenure of members of the National and State assemblies would also be extended to a little more than four years, though lawmakers would be eligible for re-election.",
"Jonathan said his commitment to a single term for the president and governors was a reflection of his belief that a longer term would help stabilize society and strengthen democracy.",
"It would minimize the acrimony and unrest that quadrennial elections generate at the federal and state levels, he said, adding that it would also save the government the expense of conducting party primaries and general elections every four years.",
"\"The proposed amendment bill is necessary to consolidate our democracy and allow elected executives to concentrate on governance and service delivery for their full term, instead of running governments with re-election as their primary focus,\" he said.",
"Jonathan noted that \"certain reports in a section of the media\" had interpreted his move as an attempt to lengthen his hold on power.",
"But, he added, \"Nothing can be more untrue.",
"The energy that has been devoted to speculations on the content of the likely bill is akin to an attempt to force the abortion of a nonexistent pregnancy.",
"The details of the bill will be clear in terms of its provisions when it is forwarded to the National Assembly for consideration.\""

"(CNN) -- Casey Anthony walked free from a Florida jail early Sunday morning, three years and one day after she was first arrested for her role in the disappearance and, eventually, death of her 2-year-old daughter.",
"Anthony walked out of the front door of the Orange County Jail at 12:09 a.m. with her lawyer by her side and two Special Response Team officers with green vests.",
"Sheriff's deputies had two contingency plans laid out, but in the end opted to go with a public release.",
"\"We have made every effort to not provide any special treatment for her,\" said Allen Moore, the spokesman for the Orange County Corrections Department in a statement.",
"\"She has been treated like every other inmate in her custody class.\"",
"Anthony had not received threats against her at the jail, but \"this release had an unusual amount of security.",
"So therefore, in that sense, it would not be a normal release,\" Moore said.",
"With $537.68 from her inmate account handed to her, Anthony offered a quick thanks to a Special Response Team sergeant.",
"She then walked out of the jail building doors and into a dark-colored sport utility vehicle.",
"Her hair was pulled up in a tight bun and she had on a bright pink V-neck T-shirt, blue jeans and sneakers.",
"She did not show any emotion.",
"Given the threats against her life by those furious at the not-guilty verdict, Anthony's lawyers have not said where she will go next.",
"News helicopters that tracked the SUV showed it head to downtown Orlando and into the parking garage of her lawyer Cheney Mason's office.",
"Throngs of television camera crews and a crowd of about 1,000 people were at hand outside the jail to witness the release.",
"Most of those who waved placards in the jail parking lot were there to voice their opposition to Anthony's release, but they did so peacefully.",
"Police, some on horseback, kept a wary eye.",
"As Anthony left, some demonstrators shouted and jeered.",
"Some screamed, \"Killer!\"",
"The Orlando woman's release comes 12 days after a jury acquitted her on murder and child neglect charges.",
"That verdict brought an abrupt end to a six-week trial that drew intense media hype for its elements of family drama and mystery over what happened to young Caylee Anthony.",
"While Anthony was cleared on the more serious charges, the jury of seven women and five men did convict her on four counts of misleading law enforcement agents who were investigating Caylee's whereabouts.",
"Orange County Superior Court Chief Judge Belvin Perry Jr. gave Anthony credit for time served in determining the release date.",
"She was initially taken into custody on July 16, 2008, and had been jailed -- with some brief exceptions, having been freed on bail on multiple occasions -- for most of the past three years.",
"Her toddler girl's skeletal remains were eventually found in a wooded field not far from the home of Casey Anthony's parents in December 2008, seven months after she was last seen.",
"Protesters on Sunday staged a silent march between the parents' home and where the toddler's remains were found, which has been turned into a memorial site.",
"They said they wanted the day to be about Caylee and not about Anthony being released from jail.",
"Prosecutors tried, unsuccessfully, to convince jurors that Anthony used chloroform to render her daughter unconscious and then duct-taped her mouth and nose to suffocate her.",
"Her defense lawyers, meanwhile, painted Caylee's death as an accident, claiming that she'd drowned accidentally at the family pool and that Casey and her father George Anthony both covered it up.",
"The questions about how Caylee died, and who was responsible, remain open.",
"But a more immediate issue is what happens next to the girl's mother, who attracted intense anger, revulsion and even sympathy from a public that she will once again be a part of.",
"While there have been cash donations to her jailhouse account, the more widespread sentiment is against Casey Anthony, with many believing she got away with killing her daughter.",
"This fury has led to speculation that the polarizing subject of the \"I Hate Casey Anthony\" Facebook page -- and the source of ire for its more than 40,000 fans -- might change her name and appearance, and move someplace far away.",
"\"If her attorneys are doing the right thing and are doing their jobs, they're going to have to explain to her that there is real hatred out there for her, that there have been death threats, that she cannot just walk amongst the population,\" HLN legal contributor Sunny Hostin said.",
"\"That is not just going to happen.\"",
"Florida corrections officials, and Anthony's lawyers, have offered few details.",
"That's in part likely due to the intense emotions Anthony's release has generated.",
"\"I know it's bad God Forgive me but i hope someone wipes that smirk off her face.",
"With a mack truck,\" one poster on the \"I Hate Casey Anthony\" Facebook page wrote.",
"Visiting the Orlando site where Caylee's remains were found, Rebecca Stone said she believed the toddler's mother \"put her here\" -- even if the jury did not reach the same conclusion.",
"When asked about what's next for Casey Anthony, the Flowery Branch, Georgia, mother of two told CNN, \"I don't think she will be alive for long.\"",
"An Oklahoma woman said she has already faced the kind of ire Anthony may face when she's no longer behind the protective walls of the Orange County Jail.",
"Sammy Blackwell told CNN affiliate KOTV that a woman who mistook her for Anthony on July 8 rammed her car twice, flipping it over.",
"\"She said that I was trying to hurt babies, I was killing babies and she was going to stop it before it happened again,\" Blackwell told the station.",
"As it happens, Blackwell has a daughter named Caylee too, but that's the end of the similarities.",
"She says she really doesn't even look that much like Anthony and worries for women who do.",
"Orange County Sheriff Jerry Demings said Tuesday that investigators are assessing threats to Anthony's safety.",
"While he said the department was not aware of any credible threats to her life, it's a concern that was clearly on his mind.",
"\"Nobody has a right to take the law in their own hands,\" he said.",
"\"Casey Anthony had her day in court and the jury made a decision.",
"I would hope people would step back and would not go out and commit another crime.\"",
"It's also a concern for her attorneys.",
"\"Myself and other members of the team are concerned for her safety, very much so,\" one of her attorneys, Dorothy Sims, told HLN.",
"What Anthony will do now is unclear.",
"\"If I knew at this point, I'm sure you can appreciate that I wouldn't tell you,\" Sims said.",
"\"I don't believe that that has been resolved.",
"My hope for her would be that she would be left alone and her privacy would be respected.\"",
"Hostin said on CNN that she's heard reports that Anthony will go into hiding, live under an assumed name or get plastic surgery.",
"\"But I think we are going to hear her story, because people have offered her a million dollars already for her story,\" she said.",
"Anthony also still has legal issues to deal with.",
"Her criminal team is appealing her convictions for misleading police, and she is being sued in two separate actions in civil court.",
"One is filed by a woman with the same name Anthony gave to investigators as the name of her daughter's fictitious nanny.",
"The other involves a search group that wants Anthony to repay expenses they incurred looking for Caylee.",
"Anthony may be offered money for book and movie deals, but one offer won't be on the table.",
"Playboy founder Hugh Hefner told CNN's Piers Morgan that the magazine won't be offering Anthony a pictorial.",
"\"I wouldn't reward someone like that for what has happened,\" Hefner said.",
"Defense attorney Mason, who once said he thought of Anthony as a granddaughter, said he doesn't know what life holds in store for his client, but has hopes.",
"\"She is only 25 years old.",
"A decade from now, hopefully, she'll have some stability in her life and maybe a husband, and they can be somewhere in Montana and start over,\" he said.",

"Istanbul (CNN) -- The Turkish government moved Friday to resolve a crisis that erupted earlier in the day when the country's top four military officers left their jobs en masse in the latest power play between the government and the Turkish military.",
"Late at night, the government turned to the only top commander who has not quit his position, naming former Gendarmerie Commander General Necdet Ozel acting chief of general staff and land force commander.",
"According to people familiar with Turkey's procedures, he needs to serve at least for a day as a force commander before he can be appointed to the top military position of chief of general staff.",
"The announcement came hours after Chief of Staff Gen. Isik Kosaner tendered his retirement letter to the prime minister, the country's state-run Anatolia News Agency reported.",
"Land Forces commander Gen. Erdal Ceylanoglu, Navy commander Adm. Esref Ugur Yigit and Air Forces commander Gen. Hasan Aksay, all asked for their retirement.",
"Their departures came in the face of disagreements by the military with the government over the fate of officers jailed for allegedly plotting to overthrow the ruling Justice and Development Party.",
"And they come at a key time -- three days before Monday's planned meeting of Turkey's Supreme Military Council, which will decide what happens to the officers, state-run media reported Friday.",
"The government wants active-duty officers who are defendants in the case to retire.",
"The military says the officers, some of whom are up for promotions, have not been proven guilty and therefore should not be forced to leave.",
"Kosaner had met earlier Friday with President Abdullah Gul and Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who won his third term in office last June in a landslide victory, a show of political power that has energized his base of support.",
"About 200 soldiers, including senior ones, both retired and active-duty, are defendants in an ongoing court case about an alleged coup plan dubbed \"Sledgehammer\" said to have been cooked up eight years ago at a meeting of military officers.",
"\"It's unprecedented to have the chief of staff and three force commanders resigning en masse,\" said Bulent Aliriza, director and senior associate of the Center for Strategic and International Studies' Turkey Project.",
"\"It's an expression of displeasure with the civilian government and, frankly, leaves in disarray the promotion process that was about to begin,\" he said.",
"\"This is their clearest possible response to Prime Minister Erdogan.\"",
"He said it comes at an important time, with the Turkish military fighting the Kurdistan Workers' Party in the southeast, and predicted the moves will create massive complications among the land forces.",
"Aliriza said the military establishment, according to its traditions, puts forth its own promotion recommendations, with the participation of the prime minister and the defense minister.",
"Once they reach an agreement, the list is sent to the president for approval.",
"But there have been tensions between the country's military, which has supported the secular system over the years, and Erdogan's party, which has Islamist roots.",
"Accusations by Erdogan's government that military and secular figures were involved in coup plots have intensified hostilities.",
"The government wants to prevent these officers from getting promoted and holding key positions in the military while the military does not want them to be forced to retire.",
"Soner Cagaptay, director of the Turkish research program at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy and a visiting professor at Georgetown University, wrote in an article for CNN's Global Public Square on Friday that the military \"is snapping under the weight of the ruling Justice and Development Party,\" known as the AKP.",
"\"Historically the most-respected institution in the country and the kingmaker in Ankara, the military has seen its prestige and power free-fall since the AKP took power in 2002,\" Cagaptay wrote.",
"\"Coup allegations, including assertions that the military was planning to bomb Istanbul's historic mosques to precipitate a political crisis, have hurt the Turkish army's standing.",
"The military's status as the most trusted institution in the country is plummeting: in 2002, around 90 percent of the Turks said they trusted their military, while now most polls show that barely 60 percent say they do.\"",
"He mentions another court case, known as Ergenekon, which also accuses the military of involvement in a coup plot: \"For the first time in its life, the Turkish military is like a deer in headlights, facing the political high beams of the Ergenekon case.\"",
"\"And now the military has snapped.",
"The straw that broke the camel's back came earlier this week, when pro-AKP media suggested that 14 active-duty generals and admirals who had been arrested in relationship to the Ergenekon case, though not yet indicted, would not only be bypassed in their promotions, but also forced to resign.",
"Furthermore, only yesterday, the police arrested 22 additional top brass officers, blocking their likely promotion.\"",
"He said the \"officer corps is demoralized,\" with generals and hundreds of other officers jailed with no indictments in sight.",
"\"This is the Turkish military leadership's way of telling the government: 'We are done playing with you.",
"Set up your own team -- if you can,\" he said.",
"Yesim Comert reported from Istanbul.",
"Joe Sterling reported from Atlanta."

"The same source said the U.S. is \"prepared to provide whatever help and support Eman may need.\"",

"Al-Obeidy told a journalist that officials in the Transitional National Council had pressured the Qataris to expel her.",
"But, according to Dawaji, she did not blame the rebel group for the beating itself.",
"Al-Obeidy told CNN that when she asked her attackers why they were beating her, they said that Mahmoud Shammam and Mahmoud Jibril, both leaders in the Libyan rebel movement, had sent the Qataris an \"urgent letter\" saying that she had to be deported immediately.",

"The council denied that.",
"Council members were upset upon seeing al-Obeidy's condition and vowed to open an investigation, Dawaji said.",

"The U.N. agency had prepared papers for her departure from Qatar to begin a new life.",
"She said Qatari authorities took her and her parents from the Kempinski Residences and Suites in the Qatari capital.",

"(CNN) -- Jason Baldwin paused Saturday on his first morning of freedom in 18 years to share a revelation he gleaned in prison while serving a life sentence.",
"The \"West Memphis Three\" member recalled telling inmates he had figured out the secret of life.",
"\"What is it?\" they asked. \"I said, 'Enjoy it.",
"Enjoy it,'\" Baldwin told CNN Memphis affiliate WMC.",
"And enjoy it he did Friday and Saturday.",
"Baldwin, Damien Echols and Jessie Misskelley Jr. -- freed Friday in Arkansas after a complicated plea arrangement -- spent time with family, friends and supporters.",
"Echols and Baldwin saw the sunset Friday from the rooftop of the Madison Hotel in Memphis, across the Mississippi River from West Memphis, Arkansas.",
"Supporters Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam and Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks joined the party.",
"The three men, who served 18 years in prison following their convictions in a 1993 triple-slaying in West Memphis, walked free Friday to cheers from a supportive crowd after entering rarely used pleas in which they maintained their innocence but acknowledged that prosecutors have evidence to convict them.",
"They had been imprisoned for the slayings of second-graders Steven Branch, Christopher Byers and Michael Moore.",
"The boys' bodies were mutilated and left in a ditch, hogtied with their own shoelaces.",
"Prosecutors argued that the defendants, teenagers at the time, were driven by satanic ritual and that Echols, sentenced to death, had been the ringleader.",
"Baldwin and Misskelley received life sentences.",
"Attorney Stephen Braga, who represented Echols, said his newly freed client and Baldwin were fascinated by new foods, cell phones and other technology Friday.",
"\"It was if you could see two little 5-year-old kids at their first Christmas,\" Braga told CBS' \"Early Show\" Saturday.",
"\"The idea you could take pictures with an iPhone totally blew them away.\"",
"Misskelley spent Friday night with his family near West Memphis.",
"CNN affiliate WREG said Echols, who met his wife while serving time, and Baldwin left Saturday for undisclosed locations to enjoy seclusion.",
"Echols and Baldwin entered what is known as an Alford plea on three counts of first-degree murder.",
"Misskelley entered similar pleas to one count of first-degree murder and two counts of second-degree murder.",
"Craighead County Circuit Judge David Laser sentenced the three to the 18 years already served and imposed a 10-year suspended sentence -- meaning they could be returned to jail if they violate the law.",
"\"I don't think that it will make the pain go away to the victims' families.",
"I don't think it will make the pain go away to the defendant families,\" Laser said, adding it was nevertheless the best for all involved.",
"Critics of the case against the men argued that no direct evidence tied the three to the murders and that a knife recovered from a lake near the home of one of the men could not have caused the boys' wounds.",
"More recent DNA testing also demonstrated no links, according to the men's supporters.",
"Baldwin said he didn't initially want to accept the deal.",
"\"This was not justice,\" he said, adding that he dropped his opposition to pave the way for Echols' release from death row.",
"\"I have now spent half my life on death row,\" Echols said in a statement released Saturday.",
"\"It is a torturous environment that no human being should have to endure, and it needed to end.",
"I am innocent, as are Jason and Jessie, but I made this decision because I did not want to spend another day of my life behind those bars.\"",
"While prosecuting attorney Scott Ellington said the pleas entered Friday validate the decision of jurors who sent the men to prison, it also spares Arkansas the possibility of a retrial, which would have been difficult to prosecute after so many years, or a potential civil lawsuit by the men.",
"The trio had been on course to win the right to new trials later this year.",
"Ellington said he believes the pleas resolve the case.",
"\"I have no reason to believe there was anyone else involved in the homicide of these three children but the three defendants who pled guilty today,\" he said.",
"But he said the state could file charges against others if new evidence emerges implicating someone else in the case.",
"John Mark Byers, whose stepson Christopher Byers was one of the three victims, said he believes the three men are innocent and releasing them without exonerating them of the crime is an outrage.",
"\"They're innocent. They did not kill my son,\" Byers said before the hearing.",
"The father of another of the victims, Steven Branch, also blasted the decision, but for another reason.",
"\"I don't know what kind of deal they worked up,\" Steve Branch told CNN affiliate WMC-TV before the hearing.",
"\"Now you can get some movie stars and a little bit of money behind you, and you can walk free for killing somebody.\"",
"Baldwin, who said he prays for the victims' families, told WMC Saturday he hopes to return to school.",
"\"Right now, I am floating on the hands of people who love and care for me, people trying to get my feet under me and everything,\" he said.",
"\"I'm just trusting God to take care of me.\"",
"Braga credited new DNA evidence, a new hearing and a new judge as instrumental to Friday's proceedings.",

"Baghdad (CNN) -- The U.S. Embassy in Iraq is distancing itself from statements made by Rep. Dana Rohrabacher that led to a government spokesman saying the congressman and his delegation are not welcome in the country.",
"Embassy spokesman David Ranz issued a statement Saturday saying \"congressional visitors do not necessarily express the views of the U.S. administration or even a majority of Congress.",
"The visitors this weekend made that clear in their remarks.\"",
"In widely reported statements after a meeting Friday with Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, the California Republican said he informed the Iraqi leader that his House committee is investigating the killing of Iranian exiles by Iraqi forces.",
"Rohrabacher, the chairman of the Oversight and Investigation Subcommittee of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, also told reporters during a news conference at the embassy in Baghdad that he suggested Iraq repay some of the cost of the war.",
"\"Once Iraq becomes a very rich and prosperous country ... we would hope that some consideration be given to repaying the United States some of the mega-dollars that we have spent here in the last eight years,\" said Rohrabacher, according to the Agence France-Presse news agency.",
"CNN could not independently confirm the comments that were attributed to Rohrabacher.",
"Multiple calls to his Washington and California offices were not immediately returned.",
"It was unclear whether the U.S. Embassy recorded the news conference.",
"It did not make any video or audio recordings of Rohrabacher's statements available to the media.",
"Iraq has informed the embassy that the delegation is no longer welcome, Ali al-Dabbagh, Iraq's government spokesman, said Saturday.",
"\"We have contacted the U.S. Embassy and they said the remarks of Congressman Dana Rohrabacher expressed his own opinion and not the official opinion of the United States,\" the spokesman said.",
"Al-Dabbagh said the relationship between Iraq and United States is still solid and would not be hurt by Rohrabacher's remarks.",
"Ranz declined to confirm the conversation, saying \"we do not comment on private diplomatic exchanges.\"",

"About 47,000 U.S. troops remain in Iraq, down from 170,000 in 2007, during the peak of sectarian violence.",
"Rohrabacher's trip was characterized partly as a fact-finding mission over clashes in April between Iraqi forces and Iranian exiles at Camp Ashraf that left 34 people dead and more than 200 wounded.",
"Traveling with Rohrabacher were Democratic Rep. Russ Carnahan of Missouri; Rep. Ted Poe of Texas, a Republican member of Rohrabacher's subcommittee; Republican Rep. Jeff Duncan of South Carolina; Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas; and Democratic Rep. Jim Costa of California.",
"Telephone calls to the district and Washington offices of all five congressmen were either not answered or not immediately returned.",
"Rohrabacher has said his delegation was denied permission by al-Maliki to visit the camp, home to some 3,300 members of an Iranian guerilla group that fought against Iran's government and were given haven by Saddam Hussein's Sunni-majority government.",
"Iraq has ordered the camp be closed by the end of the year and wants the residents to leave the country.",

"Under the plan, they would later be relocated to other countries.",

"(CNN) -- Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega opened the door to the possibility of his country going back to international bodies in an attempt to get a $17 billion payout from the United States.",
"But the United States considers the case closed, according to William Ostick, a State Department spokesman.",
"The money was originally awarded to Nicaragua in 1986 by the International Court of Justice in the Hague.",
"Nicaragua had gone to the court alleging that American involvement in their civil war by arming, financing and supplying the Contra fighters was a breach of international law.",
"The Central American country also alleged that U.S. overflights and attacks on Nicaraguan ports violated its sovereignty.",
"The court sided with Nicaragua, and ruled that the United States was to pay reparations.",
"Nicaragua asked for $17 billion, though an amount was never set.",
"The United States, which did not recognize the jurisdiction of the court in this case, resisted international pressure to pay, and eventually, under the administration of President Violeta Chamorro, Nicaragua dropped its claim from the International Court in 1991.",
"The International Court subsequently issued an order removing Nicaragua's case from the court's list, Ostick said.",
"\"In due time we will call for a referendum,\" Ortega said Tuesday, referring to the revival of the claim.",
"Ortega was speaking at an event commemorating the fall of former dictator Anastasio Somoza, which brought the Sandinistas to power.",
"The aim of the Contras was to destabilize the Sandinistas, the party Ortega belongs to.",
"The president said he would call for \"a referendum so that the people ... say whether or not we collect this debt that the 'Yankee' government owes.\"",
"\"Nicaragua has a legitimate position to be entertained and debated,\" said Larry Birns, director of the Council on Hemispheric Affairs.",
"However, it is unlikely that Ortega would seek such a referendum, which would stir the pot with the United States, he said.",
"In some ways, Ortega has proven to be more pragmatic in his actions than his rhetoric suggests, Birns said.",
"If Nicaragua chooses to revive the lawsuit, it could be because the impoverished nation sees the $17 billion -- or even a settlement at a fraction of that amount -- as a quick boost to the country, he said.",
"The case is most likely closed forever, said Fred Morrison, a law professor at the University of Minnesota who was on the U.S. legal team in the first phases of the case.",
"When Nicaragua dropped its claim, it did so by stating in a letter that it \"had decided to renounce all further right of action based on the case and did not wish to go on with the proceedings.\"",
"There is a precedent that such declarations are binding, Morrison said.",
"\"I would think the case is now closed,\" he said."

"(CNN) -- Have you been wondering why Manitowoc, Wisconsin, is the first stop for President Barack Obama after his State of the Union address?",
"Could be that he wants to continue his conversation with American families about rebuilding the nation's economy.",
"Or that he wants to lift Democratic blues that Wisconsin will turn red in the next election.",
"Nah. Any true space cadet will tell you that Manitowoc was chosen for its \"Sputnik moment.\"",
"In his speech Tuesday night, Obama spoke of this generation's Sputnik moment, challenging America to take the next innovative leap forward.",
"Where else to launch that new course of direction but in the tiny Lake Michigan town that's best known for its own Sputnik moment.",
"And it was a whopper. On September 6, 1962 -- when Obama was but a mere lad, John F. Kennedy occupied the White House and the Cold War was raging -- a 20-pound hunk of smoldering metal fell from the sky and crashed in the middle of Manitowoc's Eighth Street.",
"Turns out it was a piece of the Soviet satellite Sputnik IV.",
"The Sputnik moment that Obama referenced happened when the Soviet Union launched the first-man made object into space -- Sputnik I in 1957 -- shocking the United States into a technological boom.",
"Sputnik IV came five years later.",
"It burned up in the atmosphere and ended up linking Manitowoc to Sputnik in a way no other American town is.",
"Two Manitowoc police officers noticed what looked like a piece of cardboard lying in the street, according to the Rahr-West Art Museum, which sponsors a Sputnik festival in Manitowoc every year.",
"They approached the glowing object and kicked it to the curb, thinking it was a piece of slag from a local foundry.",
"Wrong! After they heard about Sputnik IV breaking up in space, they realized what they had stumbled upon and rushed back to retrieve it from the gutter.",
"It was sent to the Smithsonian Institution for analysis and was confirmed as a piece of the Soviet satellite.",
"The Soviets eventually reclaimed their precious chunk.",
"But Manitowoc was forever etched into the history of space exploration, a fact that is now celebrated each year with Sputnikfest.",
"\"48 years later. ...",
"It's wacky! It's tacky! It's time to celebrate with Sputnikfest!\"",
"says the festival's website.",
"\"Be hokey, fun, and ridiculous!\"",
"Elaine Schroeder, a Rahr-West Art Museum staffer, said she watched Obama's speech Tuesday night and after he spoke of the Sputnik moment, she wondered: Is this why he's coming to my town?",
"\"Oh my gosh,\" she said to herself.",
"\"I wonder if he knows we have a (Sputnik) replica here.\"",
"No matter, Schroeder said, Obama's visit to Manitowoc is sure to be cosmic."

"TOMEKA JONES, CNN STUDENT NEWS: Hi, everybody!",
"I'm Tomeka Jones, and this is the first summer edition of CNN Student News!",
"Where did E. Coli come from?",
"JONES: Every week this summer, we'll be doing these special web shows.",
"Today, we're talking about a story we covered toward the end of the school year: an outbreak of E. coli.",
"That's a specific kind of bacteria.",
"You can get it from contaminated food or water, and it can cause some pretty serious health problems.",
"Officials say this outbreak is limited to an area around one city in Germany.",
"So far, more than 20 people have died from the bacteria.",
"Thousands of people have gotten sick from it.",
"One of the big things officials are trying to figure out is where this E. coli came from.",
"Dr. Sanjay Gupta is going to explain how scientists do that and what people can do to avoid getting sick.",
"(BEGIN VIDEO) Dr. SANJAY GUPTA, CNN SENIOR MEDICAL CORRESPONDENT: It can be difficult sometimes to figure out exactly from where this came.",
"You know, this is sort of a real medical investigation.",
"They literally have to trace back from the farm to the fork all the different steps of these different foods.",
"So, for example, bean sprouts being looked at right now.",
"So far, 23 of 40 samples have come back negative.",
"All that tells you is that, so far, they haven't found it.",
"It doesn't mean that it wasn't there. And I can also tell you that sometimes you never get a clear answer as to exactly from where this bacteria originated.",
"About 2,200 people infected; 60% of them women.",
"600 of them also got a very serious complication of this infection called HUS: hemolytic-uremic syndrome.",
"Your blood doesn't clot as well.",
"Your kidneys can start to fail.",
"70% of the people that developed that were also women.",
"Unclear why that is. It could be that women are eating more of whatever the contaminated food was.",
"For most people who get this infection, it's going to be a couple of bad days.",
"Stomach cramping, stomach pains.",
"They're not going to need antibiotics.",
"But obviously, in a few people, as you're hearing about, the complications can be more severe.",
"For the consumer, obviously, washing your hands, washing your food, not cross-contaminating your food: these are the things a consumer can do.",
"But distributors, the manufacturers, the people who are getting this food to your table, they obviously have to take some responsibility here as well, in terms of making sure this food is free of contamination.",
"(END VIDEO) E. Coli economic impact .",
"JONES: The German government has been trying to control this outbreak and keep people from getting sick.",
"One way is by putting out a warning about eating some raw vegetables.",
"But that has a big impact on farmers.",
"Fred Pleitgen looks at the economic side of this story.",
"(BEGIN VIDEO) FRED PLEITGEN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: It's a painful sight: case after case of ripe tomatoes thrown away.",
"This produce marketer near Berlin says selling tomatoes has become all but impossible since the E. coli outbreak began.",
"PETRA LACK, PRODUCTION MANAGER, WERDER FRUCHT: \"Things are awful at the moment,\" the manager says.",
"\"We hope this won't continue for the whole harvest season.",
"But if the government keeps telling people not to eat lettuce, tomatoes and cucumbers, nothing will change.\"",
"PLEITGEN: German authorities are still warning not to eat those vegetables uncooked, and consumers seem to be heeding that warning.",
"The company near Berlin says at one point, demand for tomatoes dropped to only five percent of what they normally sell.",
"The folks here say, in total, they are going to have to destroy about 270 tons of tomatoes.",
"That batch alone is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.",
"And keep in mind, these are perfectly fine tomatoes.",
"But they simply can't sell them because demand has flatlined.",
"German authorities still have not found the source of the deadly E. coli strain in northern Germany.",
"Officials believe it may have originated in this sprout farm, but so far, there is no scientific evidence to back that up.",
"Farmers all over Europe are suffering as fearful consumers are staying away from vegetables.",
"At a crisis meeting in Luxembourg, where especially Spain criticized Germany for suggesting its cucumbers might be the source of the bacteria, the EU agreed to pay 150 million Euros in financial aid for the industry.",
"SÁNDOR FAZEKAS, HUNGARIAN MINISTER FOR RURAL DEVELOPMENT: We have to pay compensation for the damages that they have suffered.",
"We need a swift solution, and our commissioner came to our meeting with a set of proposals.",
"PLEITGEN: Andre Becker would rather see his tomatoes on dinner tables than receive compensation for throwing them away.",
"He oversees this green house, and the prime harvesting season is right now.",
"Like so many others, he wants consumers to know his products are safe.",
"ANDRE BECKER, HEAD OF PRODUCTION, HAVELIA VEGETABLES: \"We work according to strict standards,\" he says.",
"\"We test the water we give to the plants, and we also tested for E. coli.",
"The results were negative.\"",
"PLEITGEN: The tomatoes have grown exceptionally well this year.",
"But no matter how beautiful and ripe they may be, the workers here know they will probably go straight from the green house to here, to be thrown away and destroyed.",

"ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) -- Laura Hathaway initially had no regrets after getting a tattoo on her lower back when she was 21.",
"But now, 10 years later, she wants it gone.",
"Tattoo removal is more painful than the original tattoo, patient Laura Hathaway says.",
"The pharmaceutical sales representative from Atlanta, Georgia, says it doesn't fit in with her current lifestyle as the mother of a 2-year-old boy who just started to talk.",
"\"The other day I bent over and he said, 'What's that?'",
"and it just confirms why I'm having it removed.\"",
"Dr. Scott Karempelis of Atlanta Dermatology Associates is performing a multitreatment laser procedure that will gradually erase Hathaway's tattoo with little or no scarring.",
"The process is painful, expensive and time-consuming.",
"Karempelis says that in spite of the drawbacks, \"business is booming.\"",
"He and three other dermatologists in his office see more than 30 patients a day who want tattoos removed by laser.",
"Watch Hathaway's tattoo beginning to disappear » .",
"The American Academy of Dermatology reports tattoo regret is common in the United States.",
"Among a group of 18- to 50-year-olds surveyed in 2004, 24 percent reported having a tattoo and 17 percent of those considered getting their tattoo removed.",
"Karempelis uses a state-of-the-art laser that targets the pigment in the tattoo.",
"\"It goes through the skin without damaging it and hits the pigment depending on which wavelength and which color you have, and it blows it into small pieces.\"",
"The tattoo ink is then reabsorbed into the body through the lymphatic system.",
"The process must be completed over several sessions in order to protect the skin from damage.",
"Hathaway expects to go through 10 sessions several weeks apart, each lasting less than a minute.",
"She admits it's a lot more painful than getting the original tattoo.",
"\"It's prickly,\" describes Hathaway.",
"\"It feels like a bee is sitting on your back stinging time and time again.",
"Afterwards, the pain does go away and you're a little sore for a few hours.\"",
"Patients with bigger tattoos are sometimes given the option to use a topical anesthetic, but Karempelis points out that it adds to the cost.",
"Like other dermatologists, he charges by the square inch for the laser treatment.",
"By the time Hathaway's done, she expects to pay more than $2,200.",
"There's no guarantee that she won't have a scar.",
"\"Scarring is your major risk,\" says Karempelis.",
"\"Almost everyone gets a little bit of discoloration, a little lighter, a little darker for a while.",
"But in most cases if you wait a year, you cannot see where it was done initially.\"",
"Certain tattoo colors, such as green, yellow and purple, are harder to remove, Karempelis says, especially for people with darker skin.",
"Some parts of the body also pose a challenge.",
"\"The farthest away from the heart are hardest to treat, so the ankles are the toughest,\" Karempelis says.",
"He predicts his business will increase in the future, after a new type of tattoo ink hits the market.",
"Freedom-2 is a microencapsulated dye.",
"It's designed to be easily removed by a single laser treatment.",
"\"The laser would hit that pigment and it would completely dissolve immediately.",
"... You wouldn't need repetitive treatments,\" the doctor says.",
"But until the ink becomes available, Karempelis expects to see a variety of patients going through long sessions to remove reminders of their past.",
"He says the most popular tattoos to be removed in his office are the names of old boyfriends and former spouses.",
"In Hathaway's case, her tattoo of a flower didn't fit the image she wants to portray.",

"Watts, California (CNN) -- One savings account at a time, \"Sweet\" Alice Harris is trying to save youths from the temptations of crime and violence in Los Angeles' notoriously troubled neighborhood of Watts.",
"Harris, 76, is a humanitarian with a big mission on the most modest of budgets.",
"Twice a year, she tries to instill the importance of saving money for college by offering any youth $5 -- if and only if the youngsters place that money in a savings account.",
"While some may doubt whether such a notion could succeed, Harris can count 40 youngsters who took up her offer over the past three years -- and are now going to junior college.",
"\"The majority of the people who've opened an account have stayed in school,\" said Harris at her community center called Parents of Watts (POW), a nonprofit youth outreach group she began in 1979 to keep kids off the streets and in school.",
"On Saturday, Harris held her latest \"back-to-school community event,\" in which 96 kids applied for a savings account that holds $5, donated by Harris' organization.",
"In exchange for accepting the $5, the youngsters have to pledge that the money will be used for their college education and that the youths will contribute to their own savings over time, Harris said.",
"Harris, who has been living in Watts at least since its 1960s riots, said the savings account program teaches youths discipline and the importance of savings -- as well as letting them know she and her group are there to support their college dreams.",
"Harris operates her micro-giving program through Kinecta Federal Credit Union and Nix Financial.",
"Ariel Flowers, 16, was one of the many to open an account Saturday.",
"She hopes to save the money for college, because she says, \"Pepperdine costs a lot of money.\"",
"Through summer jobs and babysitting in the next few years, she hopes to make her dream possible and wishes to open up her own business one day.",
"Danielle Sandoval, 13, of Downey, California, signed up for one of the $5 accounts two years ago and now she has saved $700, through an allowance from her mother and cash gifts to her during her birthdays and Christmas.",
"She dreams of attending California State University at Long Beach -- and wants to become a veterinarian.",
"\"The other kids, maybe, they want to be spoiled.",
"I want to be independent, buy my own car and buy my own house,\" Danielle said at the community center, near a booth set up by the banks.",
"Harris said Danielle is a model saver: the West Middle School student has saved the most in the program over a two-year period.",
"In addition to being on her school's honor role, the girl was given another honor Saturday; Kinecta and Nix Financial awarded her an additional $250 to put in her savings account.",
"\"We want to keep encouraging her to save,\" said Mel Calloway, the executive vice president of Kinecta and Nix Financial.",
"\"We were very proud of her, she had a lot of discipline in her savings.\"",
"Harris said she gives out the money for the savings accounts through the donations she receives through her community group.",
"She feels strongly about the programs she runs because of the inspiration she personally received: it was her own mentor who opened up Harris's savings account for her decades ago.",
"\"It helped me go to beauty college.",
"What she did for me, I do for these kids. I know what it's like to feel like nothing,\" Harris said.",
"Harris hopes the kids will finish college.",
"\"I envision that they won't go to jail, they won't gang bang,\" she said.",
"For Harris, the Watts riots aren't forgotten: 46 years after the violence, the neighborhood still faces deep problems.",
"Capt. Phil Tingirides of the Los Angeles police's southeast station said that Watts \"is a very hard community and influenced by violent street gangs.\"",
"The four housing projects in Watts have traditionally been violent, with large amounts of drug dealing, he said.",
"But he applauds how \"Sweet\" Alice is pushing the youth in the community to be financially independent.",
"Regarding the $5 that Harris donates, Tingirides stated: \"It's very symbolic on one hand and on the other hand, probably more money than anyone's legitimately ever given many of them.\""

"(Mental Floss) -- Ben & Jerry's Bagels?",
"Sonic Steakhouse?",
"Be glad that some of our favorite quick-service places evolved into what they are today.",
"1. When Ben and Jerry decided to go into business, they really wanted to make bagels.",
"But the equipment required to make bagels was rather expensive, so they researched a cheaper product and settled on ice cream.",
"Although they've released plenty of other breakfast-related ice cream flavors -- Cinnamon Buns, Coffee & Biscotti and Maple Grape Nut among them -- they have yet to create a lox and bagel-flavor.",
"Maybe it's in production?",
"2. Glen Bell, the founder of Taco Bell (who knew the \"Bell\" represented a person?",
"), started his career in the fast food business with a meager hot dog stand.",
"It did so well that he sold it and opened a bigger and better stand, and he started selling tacos for 19 cents out of a side window.",
"Before long, the hot dogs were playing second banana to the tacos, and Bell decided to switch the business.",
"Mental Floss: 10 secret fast food menu items .",
"3. What if Tim Hortons' Timbits actually referred to chicken nuggets?",
"It could have gone that way -- the ex-hockey player originally focused his post pro-sports career on hamburgers and opened a few burger joints in Toronto and North Bay.",
"They didn't do so well. They retooled the concept and reopened as a small doughnut shop housed in an old gas station, selling coffee for 25 cents and doughnuts for 69 cents per dozen.",
"Today, Tim Hortons employs 100,000 people and has more than 3,000 stores (mostly in Canada, but the company is expanding into the U.S.) 4.",
"What if Dunkin' Donuts had a fleet of vehicles that drove around like the ice cream man, selling sweet, sweet carbs to anyone who could scrounge up some change?",
"Well, they used to, sort of.",
"After working for just such an ice cream company, William Rosenberg used his war bonds and borrowed some money to start a mobile catering business that delivered breakfast and lunch to factory workers.",
"He noticed that his best sellers by far were coffee and doughnuts, and decided to base the whole business around them.",
"Seems to have worked out OK. (I still like the idea of doughnuts coming to me, though.)",
"5. On the other hand, Al Copeland, who created Popeyes Chicken & Biscuits, started out in the doughnut biz and ended up in poultry.",
"He sold his car to purchase a Tastee Donut franchise from his brother and then decided to fry chicken instead of crullers.",
"The first one failed, even with the tagline \"So fast you get your chicken before you get your change.\"",
"But the second version succeeded, making him a multimillionaire.",
"The name, by the way, came from Popeye Doyle from \"The French Connection\" -- not Popeye the Sailor Man.",
"Mental Floss: 15 companies that originally sold something else .",
"6. How about a Sonic Steakhouse?",
"The founder, Troy Smith, had big plans for an upscale steak eatery when he originally entered the restaurant business.",
"He opened a small diner called Troy's Pan Full of Chicken to generate revenue for the bigger steakhouse and realized somewhere in the middle of things that he was making a load of money selling just root beer, hamburgers and hot dogs every week.",
"He decided to stick with the low-brow menu and scrap the sirloin.",
"7. Wilbur Hardee, obviously the founder of Hardee's, ran several inn-style restaurants in North Carolina and took that time to study the habits of his patrons.",
"He got rid of the inns and opened his first quick-service place, selling 15-cent hamburgers under the Hardee's name until the chain was purchased by Carl's Jr. in 1997.",
"8. Speaking of Carl's Jr., Carl Karcher came from similar humble beginnings.",
"Like a lot of the great fast-food giants, Karcher started with a hot dog stand he and his wife purchased by taking a $311 loan out on their car.",
"They also sold tamales.",
"Somehow, I don't think Paris Hilton biting into a big, juicy tamale would have had quite the same effect as Paris Hilton biting into a big, juicy Six Dollar Burger, do you?",
"9. Chick-fil-A started out as Dwarf Grill (now Dwarf House), a full-service restaurant housed in a tiny little building with a tiny little door.",
"The original can still be found in Hapeville, Georgia, complete with diminutive door (it has a regular door as well).",
"What might be shocking to Chick-fil-A die-hards is that the Dwarf Houses offer steakburgers and hamburgers.",

"Like our other frankfurter entrepreneurs, Dick and Mac McDonald started with a mere hot dog stand in Monrovia, California.",
"They upgraded, but burgers weren't really their main focus -- they planned to capitalize on their delicious BBQ.",
"They were mistaken. Several years later, they noticed that burgers were the item keeping the store alive and decided to switch exclusively to burgers, shakes, and fries.",

"(CNN) -- Amidst reports that the Samsung may be touting inflated numbers for sales of its Galaxy Tab tablet -- and reports that those that do buy the device are returning it at an alarming rate -- one might jump to the conclusion that Apple has little to be worried about in the way of competitors to its iPad.",
"However, that would be a mistake.",
"While Apple sold nearly 15 million iPads in 2010 and closed the year with 75% market share in the tablet space, that was down from 95% in the third quarter of 2010, before the Galaxy Tab went on sale.",
"And regardless of whether or not the Galaxy Tab is a hit or a dud -- Samsung claims its return rate is actually 2% -- a slew of better Android devices are about to invade the market -- not to mention offerings from other players including RIM and Palm.",
"One advantage that upcoming tablets like the Motorola Xoom have on the Galaxy Tab is that they'll be using Honeycomb, Google's operating system that's optimized for tablets that was officially revealed on Wednesday.",
"Believe it or not, the Galaxy tablet is running an older version of Android that's designed to run on smartphones, which essentially renders the device as an awkwardly sized Galaxy S. Also, let us not forget recent history.",
"It was less than two years ago that pundits were beginning to suggest that Android was a failure.",
"At the time, there were only two Android smartphones on the market, despite the dozens of partners that Google had announced at the launch of Android in late 2007.",
"To many, the features of the nascent operating system also seemed underwhelming.",
"Fast forward to today and Android smartphones are outselling iPhones, thanks to the multitude of manufacturers now offering devices at a variety of price points -- all the way down to free.",
"Gizmodo says: \"If you consider where Android was when it started versus how far it's advanced in 18 months with Android 2.2, you might get brain freeze.\"",
"All of which should signal that the tablet race is far from over.",
"The next few months will see not only the introduction of the Xoom, but also devices from manufacturers like LG, Vizio and Acer.",
"Much like smartphones, having more than one manufacturer to choose from is one of Android's big advantages, as each device offers its own unique features that consumers can weigh when making their selection.",
"That's no different in tablets, where consumers will be able to choose based on things like operating system, screen size and front-facing cameras, not to mention price.",
"And price could ultimately prove a huge driver of sales of iPad alternatives.",
"Whereas Apple and its carrier partners, AT&T and Verizon, have thus far offered data plans for the iPad on a month-to-month basis, T-Mobile is enticing customers with a $249 retail price when you sign a two-year data contract for the Galaxy Tab.",
"While the contract-less iPad has its advantages, namely the ability to switch devices more than every two years, it also means you'll need to drop at least $629 initially to get a 3G version of the tablet.",
"Meanwhile, much like we saw with netbooks, pricing is likely to drop further -- perhaps all the way to free -- as carriers look to lock in customers on their expensive new 4G data networks and manufacturers churn out devices with lower manufacturing costs -- something Vizio, for example, does well.",
"An iPad 2 (very likely) and subsidized pricing (less likely) could give Apple another pop in the middle of this year, but make no mistake: The same tides that lifted Android past iOS in the smartphone world will soon do the same with tablets.",
"That's not to say that Apple won't continue to build a huge, lucrative and ever-growing market for itself, but rather to point out the inevitability of its competitors also cashing in on the tablet craze.",
"The opinions expressed here are solely those of Adam Ostrow."

"(CNN) -- \"Ninety percent of the people that live in this holler are coal miners or retired coal miners,\" 48-year-old James Dials explains as he winds his pickup through the mountains of southern West Virginia.",
"The rear window of the truck is emblazoned with large decals of a CAT truck, a mountain peak and a bulldozer.",
"He is a proud coal miner.",

"His extended family still lives here, and he has no intention of leaving.",
"\"If I were to leave here and go to a city, I would be lost trying to do factory work,\" says Dials, the son and grandson of coal miners.",
"\"I'm not going to say I wouldn't try, but I probably wouldn't stay with it.\"",
"But Dials, who loves this quiet, small-town, country life, finds himself in the middle of a loud, high stakes fight between coal companies, politicians, environmentalists and impassioned activists.",
"The debate is over mountaintop coal removal, or MTR.",
"See how contentious the battle for Blair Mountain became .",
"Scott Simonton, a civil and environmental engineer who teaches at Marshall University in Huntington, West Virginia, explains the process of coal companies cutting off the top of a mountain to remove coal: \"They will take hundreds of feet off the top of a mountain to get to a few feet of coal.\"",
"See the impact of mountain top removal from both sides .",
"In 2009, Lisa Jackson, then the newly appointed administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, placed MTR permits under review so her agency could determine if the projects would pollute area water.",
"\"They need to understand,\" she says, referring to the coal companies, \"yeah you can mine coal, you can give jobs to people, but you can't do it at the expense of their lives, their health, their water, their air, that's too much.\"",
"Since then, nearly all new mountaintop removal permits have been frozen.",
"Poll: Majority oppose mountaintop removal coal mining .",
"The environmental agency's permit review set off a battle for the future of mountaintop mining in West Virginia: the coal industry and its supporters on one side, environmentalists and people concerned about the health effects of mining on the other.",
"Dials works mainly in mountaintop removal, driving a rock truck and helping rebuild the mountain slopes destroyed by blasting.",
"To him, MTR permits mean more work.",
"No new MTR permits means jobs like his will eventually dry up.",
"Read more about the march on Blair Mountain .",
"West Virginia University public health associate professor Michael Hendryx has been studying the health effects of mining in Appalachia for five years.",
"\"I think it really is the biggest public health problem that West Virginia faces,\" he says.",
"Recent studies he's published linked \"multiple illnesses and multiple health outcomes that are problematic in mining areas.",
"Higher rates of cancer is one of them.",
"Higher forms of chronic heart disease, heart attacks, and lung disease like (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), kidney disease,\" he says.",
"\"We have found evidence for all of those.\"",
"But Bill Raney, president of the West Virginia Coal Association and a lobbyist for the coal industry, takes issue with Hendryx's studies.",
"\"I think what you find is there is a correlation as opposed to a causation and it's got to be analyzed,\" he says.",
"He believes the studies raise more questions than answers.",
"The answer to this fight in West Virginia might be easier to find if there were other opportunities for men like James Dials.",
"But there are few. \"That's the only jobs in the area,\" says Dials' wife, Linda.",
"There are no other jobs in the area for men with his experience and education that would provide his current salary, about $65,000 per year.",
"Activists against mountaintop coal removal often say diversifying West Virginia's economy is a way to increase jobs in the area.",
"But the Dialses believe that is not a short-term solution.",
"\"There are factories everywhere shutting down,\" Linda Dials says.",
"\"What could they put here that would even come remotely close to being what coal and the industry of coal can do for the people of West Virginia?\"",
"The unemployment rate in West Virginia is 8.5%.",
"Even if James Dials was willing to move from southern West Virginia -- he's not -- recent Bureau of Labor Statistics findings say there are nearly five unemployed people for every one job available nationally.",
"Historian Chuck Keeney, an instructor at Southern West Virginia Community and Technical College, believes he has the answer.",
"\"They can mine the coal around Blair Mountain and they can get all the coal out without using mountaintop removal,\" he says.",
"Keeney prefers underground mining to mountaintop removal and is a leader in the fight to save Blair Mountain from the mining method.",
"The mountain was the site of a massive coal miner uprising in 1921, one that eventually allowed the coalfields of southern West Virginia to be unionized.",
"\"They may not make as big a profit ...,\" he says, referring to the coal companies, \"because they will have to hire more miners.\"",
"While underground mining jobs do employ about 25% more miners than aboveground -- or surface mining -- jobs, not all MTR projects can be carried out by traditional underground mining.",
"Sometimes the coal is too close to the peak to be reached safely that way.",
"But there is a larger trend: Coal jobs in the state are drying up.",
"In the 1940s, about 130,000 men made their living by mining \"black gold.\"",
"Now that number is around 22,000, according to the U.S. government's Energy Information Administration.",
"The administration's projections show that by 2035, coal production in West Virginia will decrease by 40% and require thousands fewer miners.",
"Improved technology has led to the decline.",
"So has economics: It's cheaper and easier to mine in Wyoming, which is now the top coal state, producing 400 million tons a year, four times what's mined in West Virginia.",
"So what's a man like James Dials supposed to do?",
"\"I've got to work,\" James Dials says.",

Mike Mullen attended Tuesday's dignified transfer of the remains of 38 U.S. and Afghan personnel killed on board a helicopter shot down in Afghanistan over the weekend.",
"Obama boarded both of the planes that transported the remains to the Dover Air Force Base in Delaware to pay his respects and later joined Panetta, Mullen and U.S. Special Operations Commander Adm. William McRaven in meeting with more than 200 family members and colleagues of the slain service members at a building on the air base, according to background information provided by White House staff members accompanying the president on the trip.",
"Panetta, Mullen and the chiefs of the Navy and Army were among the 11 senior military and Defense Department officials who also attended the dignified transfer, Pentagon spokesman Col. Dave Lapan said.",

"According to the officials, they cannot recall a time when names were not released 24 hours after next of kin were notified following an incident.",

"The inbound helicopter transporting the SEALs also carried a civilian interpreter and seven Afghan troops, and it crashed after being \"reportedly fired on by an insurgent rocket-propelled grenade.\"",

"The flights arrived Tuesday morning, Lapan confirmed.",
"Van Williams, the public affairs chief for Air Force Mortuary Operations, said all of the 38 sets of remains were \"unidentifiable.\"",

"In a typical dignified transfer ceremony, family members and military carry teams board the plane, Williams said, adding that a chaplain may be asked to speak.",
"The carry team then picks up the transfer case, and the command is given to render honors, according to Williams.",
"The official party and everyone within earshot salutes as the remains are taken from the aircraft to a waiting vehicle for transport to the mortuary, where positive identification occurs, he said.",
"\"For us ... it is a very big source of pride and a sense of duty and honor that we give to the fallen service members and their families,\" Williams said.",

"Congress sets the cap on how much money the country can spend to pay its bills and to pay our interest payments.",
"The debt ceiling is sort of like the credit limit on your credit card bill, only much, much bigger.",
"And think of it this way: if you're running a $3,000 balance on a $10,000 credit limit, the U.S. government, we run right up to our credit limit over and over again.",

"Tripoli, Libya (CNN) -- New NATO airstrikes shook Tripoli into early Tuesday after the alliance's secretary-general dismissed complaints that the allied campaign against longtime Libyan strongman Moammar Gadhafi had fallen into a stalemate.",
"At least three rounds of explosions echoed across the Libyan capital in a three-hour span that began late Monday, and the roar of jets could be heard overhead.",
"Government spokesman Musa Ibrahim told CNN that the warplanes hit administrative buildings in central Tripoli, and that a nearby hospital was \"indirectly\" affected.",
"\"Tonight was an exceptional night in Tripoli,\" Ibrahim said, noting that the strikes followed \"an extended period of calm.\"",
"\"It is very sad,\" he said. \"We are losing people every day on both sides.",
"We think it is time to sit down and talk.\"",
"NATO warplanes and missiles have been pounding Gadhafi's forces and government installations since March 31 as Gadhafi attempts to put down a nearly three-month-old revolt against his rule.",
"Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen told CNN on Monday that Gadhafi and his regime \"have no future,\" but refused to predict how long the Libyan leader could hold on.",
"Rasmussen denied that the situation in Libya had devolved into a \"stalemate,\" insisting that NATO was \"making progress\" and had \"taken out\" a substantial part of Gadhafi's military capability.",
"He said a political solution was required to bring the conflict to an end, but \"It's hard to imagine an end to the violence as long as Gadhafi remains in power.\"",
"Despite the ongoing bombardment, Gadhafi's forces have been inflicting a heavy toll on rebels in the port city of Misrata, survivors there have told CNN.",
"Misrata is the only city in western Libya held by the rebels, and witnesses say indiscriminate shelling has left victims with crushed bones, burns and amputations.",
"\"They are shelling the port and civilian neighborhoods.",
"It has become an operation of revenge, not just taking over the city of Misrata,\" said Ibrahim al-Neairy, a rebel who was injured in the fighting and evacuated to Benghazi.",
"Mostafa Bozen, a spokesman for the rebels, said fighters attacked Gadhafi's forces about 22 kilometers (14 miles) from Tripoli, killing 12 and hitting a tank.",
"The situation in Misrata \"is at the forefront\" of U.N. concerns about Libya's civilian population, Valerie Amos, the U.N. undersecretary-general for humanitarian affairs, told the Security Council on Monday.",
"Two months of fighting and the ongoing shelling of the city's port has prevented aid ships from docking there, and between 150 and 300 non-Libyans are still waiting to be evacuated, she said.",
"\"Some people are running short of food, water and other basics,\" she said.",
"\"Medical facilities need supplies and more trained personnel.\"",
"The Security Council voted in March to authorize the use of force to protect Libyan civilians from Gadhafi's regime.",
"Nearly 750,000 people have fled the country, another 58,000 are displaced within Libya and another 5,000 are stranded at border crossings into Libya, Tunisia and Niger, Amos said.",
"For those who remain, Amos said the fighting and the sanctions imposed on Gadhafi and his allies have caused \"a severe disruption of supply lines within the country.\"",
"The results have been \"shortages of fuel, difficulties in obtaining commodities including foodstuffs, medicines and other essential goods, and there have been severe cash shortages throughout the country.\"",
"Western Libya has about three months' supply of food remaining; the mostly rebel-held east has about two months, she said.",
"Fuel and supplies for desalinization plants and other facilities that provide fresh water to many Libyans \"are running out,\" she added.",
"There have been widespread assumptions among experts that the conflict between pro- and anti-Gadhafi forces will continue to be a stalemate for some time.",
"As time wears on, though, human rights groups have expressed growing concern for besieged Libyans in Misrata.",
"The wounded arriving in Benghazi, the rebel hub city, painted a gruesome picture of the fighting in Misrata.",
"Hanan Muhammad, who was evacuated along with about 800 others on an aid ship charted by the International Organization for Migration, was wounded when a missile struck near her home.",
"\"I was in my house praying when the first missile landed.",
"Shortly after, more missiles, one after another started hitting our neighborhood,\" said Muhammad, who suffered a broken arm and shrapnel wounds.",
"\"Terror. Fear. People are scared every moment of the day no matter their age,\" she said.",
"\"Oh God, it's like a horror movie.\"",
"Al-Neairy, who suffered facial burns and shrapnel wounds, said he does not regret fighting.",
"\"The price for freedom is high and it (is) necessary to be liberated from this regime,\" he said.",
"Amnesty International has said Gadhafi's attacks in the port city may amount to war crimes.",
"A report issued last week by the monitoring group accused pro-Gadhafi forces of the \"unlawful killing of civilians due to indiscriminate attacks, including use of heavy artillery, rockets and cluster bombs in civilian areas and sniper fire against residents.\"",
"\"I'm not going to guess about a timeline.",

"ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) -- A summer with budget-busting gasoline prices seems like the worst time to launch a cross-country road trip from California to Georgia, but this one is different: We're road-testing alternative fuel that might help reduce pollution and break the nation's reliance on foreign oil.",
"CNN.com's Cody McCloy, left, and co-pilot Brian Hardy set out on their biofuel experiment on July 28.",
"The gasoline alternative is called biodiesel, and it's made by chemically modifying vegetable oil.",
"The resulting biodiesel is nontoxic, biodegradable and can be blended at any level with regular diesel.",
"Most diesel cars can run on it, and it can be found in more and more places around the country.",
"Watch Web developer Brian Hardy and I make a two-week journey from California's San Francisco Bay area to Atlanta, Georgia, on CNN.com Live.",
"During our road trip, we're blogging and reporting about what kind of mileage we're getting with biodiesel fuel and how easy it is to find places that sell it.",
"See Cody's road trip photos » .",
"Biodiesel is just one of several biofuels powering more and more U.S. cars and trucks.",
"Mesa, Arizona, for example, has switched its fleet of 1,000 municipal vehicles such as fire engines and street sweepers to biodiesel and other green fuels such as ethanol, and compressed natural gas.",
"Watch a quick tour of Cody's vehicle » .",
"Some biofuels are less expensive per gallon than gasoline -- cutting the average cost of gas by 20 to 35 cents per gallon, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.",
"An average American family can save up to $300 per year by using ethanol, according to the DOE Web site.",
"Biodiesel fuel, however, is not always cheaper than gasoline -- although it is made using renewable resources, such as vegetable oil or used cooking oil.",
"The pros and cons of alternative fuels » .",
"Atlanta-area biodiesel dealer Rob Del Bueno says -- if you really think about it -- it's amazing how something as simple as a gallon of fuel can move a heavy multi-ton vehicle down the road.",
"\"We think fuel is expensive, but for what you get, the price that you pay at the pump is so insignificant to what's really going on.\"",
"But Department of Energy chemical engineer John Scahill warns that the price of petroleum -- now at about $125 per barrel -- will become \"prohibitively expensive within our lifetime.\"",
"About $333 billion exited the United States in 2007 due to the purchase of oil, according to Scahill, illustrating the high cost of importing foreign energy.",
"Biofuel is produced and sold in the United States -- which keeps money from those transactions circulating inside the U.S. economy.",
"\"About 140 billion gallons of gasoline per year are used for transportation in the United States,\" said Scahill, \"and we can save about a third of that if we maximize our use of biofuels.\"",
"Our biodiesel vehicle is a 1978 International Harvester Scout that we purchased in San Jose, California, just for this adventure.",

"Moscow (CNN) -- \"Putin's Army,\" a new group of female fans loyal to Russia's prime minister, is calling upon all \"young, smart and beautiful\" women in the country who ardently support Vladimir Putin to produce amateur video clips that show how far they would go to express their affection for him.",
"The community, which was launched in Russia's popular social networking sites VKontakte and LiveJournal, claims to have united some 800 followers behind the idea of Putin running in the March 2012 presidential election.",
"It is not clear who exactly is behind this initiative, but the first video posted features a glamorous blonde who describes herself as student named Diana.",
"\"I'm crazy about the person who has changed our country.",
"He is a prominent politician and an awesome man.",
"His name is Vladimir Putin.",
"Millions of people adore and trust him,\" Diana says in the narrative accompanying the video.",
"\"We are launching a contest with very simple rules.",
"Shoot your own video as you tear up something -- or someone -- in the name of Putin.",
"Then post your video in the VKontakte group.",
"Those of you who produce the most original video will become the owner of an iPad 2.",
"Tell us what YOU would do for your president,\" Diana says.",
"Putin -- who already served two terms as the country's president from 2000 to 2008 -- has not announced yet whether he or his protege, incumbent Dmitry Medvedev, would run for the top office post again next year.",
"On numerous occasions in the past few years, both Putin and Medvedev said they would sit down together and decide that soon.",
"In the video sequence, which features club music in the background, Diana walks along Moscow streets in high heels and a black suit.",
"As she struts with an iPhone in hand, the camera occasionally focuses on her chest.",
"Diana joins a pair of Putin-loving friends basking under the sun by the Moscow River.",
"The young women then look at the \"Putin's Army\" web page together on a laptop before Diana scribbles \"I will tear off for Putin\" on a white tank top in red lipstick.",
"Wearing that top in the closing shot, Diana tears it, briefly revealing an undergarment.",
"The provocative video has netted hundreds of thousands of hits online since it was first posted Wednesday, and several parodies of the clip have already appeared on the Internet.",
"\"Putin's Army\" promised that its future activities would rock the whole country, and that every girl participating in the contest would become an Internet star.",
"The video contest will last until August 26, the group announced.",
"The effort isn't the first public display of affection for the Russian premier.",
"Last week, dozens of Putin supporters formed a flash mob in front of the main government building in Moscow and sang \"Blueberry Hill\" -- a song Putin performed at a charity gala concert in December.",
"And last October, a group of female journalism students from Moscow State University posed in bikinis for a calendar -- a birthday gift to Putin.",
"Putin has denounced attempts at glorifying his image or using his name in advertisements.",
"Over the years, he has disassociated himself from various paintings, sculptures and songs that where devoted to him, saying such fuss deeply embarrasses him.",
"But some Russian analysts say these kinds of spectacles could be attempts to grab the attention of politically indifferent young voters before an important election season.",
"Russia's parliamentary elections will take place in December, and the presidential election will take place in March 2012."

"JAKARTA, Indonesia (CNN) -- Indonesians headed to the polls Thursday to choose legislators for the world's most populous Muslim nation, a vote that will also determine which parties can field candidates for July's presidential election.",
"A woman shows her finger after voting at a polling booth on Thursday in Jakarta.",
"By noon, the balloting was proceeding peacefully.",
"However, the country's Papua province was hit by violence early Thursday, when about 80 separatist rebels, armed with machetes and firearms, attacked a police station and burned down part of a university, police said.",
"Both incidents happened in Jayapura in Papua, where a separatist movement has simmered for years.",
"Thursday's vote is only the second direct election since the authoritarian regime of Suharto fell in 1998, in the wake of the Asian financial crisis.",
"Some 12,000 candidates from 38 parties are vying for parliament's 700 seats in a nation that for now is a largely moderate and democratic one.",
"Watch more about the vote » .",
"Some analysts have pointed to signs that indicate Indonesia is on the path to becoming a conservative and fundamentalist nation.",
"But Islamist parties are not expected to fare well this time around, partly because most voters are more concerned about economic issues, rather than religious or moral ones.",
"Watch what's at stake in the elections » .",
"Current polls forecast that President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's Democratic Party will be the only one to garner the necessary 20 percent of the 550 lower parliamentary seats -- or 25 percent of the national vote -- to nominate a presidential candidate.",
"Other parties will likely form coalitions to put forward a candidate in the presidential race.",
"That includes Golkar, the ruling party during Suharto's regime and the party of current Vice President Jusuf Kalla.",
"The elections will also determine the makeup of Indonesia's 132-member Regional Representatives Council, as well as its provincial, county and city assemblies.",
"More than 70 percent of Indonesia's 238 million people are expected to cast ballots.",
"But even before the votes are cast, there are serious concerns about the legitimacy of the legislative election.",
"The voting process is complicated: For the first time, Indonesians can vote for an individual within a party and not just for the party.",
"New voting mechanisms are causing confusion and could lead to an increased number of invalid ballots.",
"There are allegations of fraudulent voter lists as well.",
"Several Indonesian students, and first-time voters, have voiced their disillusionment with the current parties and candidates.",
"\"I choose not to vote,\" said Shohib, a student at State Islamic University in Jakarta.",
"\"I am disappointed with the leaders.\"",
"\"I want someone who could lead Indonesia to be better ... who would hear people's aspirations and actually do something about it,\" said 18-year-old Wiendy Pranoto, a senior at Pesantran Al-Hamidiyah -- an Islamic school outside Jakarta.",
"Analysts warn that if the elections are viewed as illegitimate, voters will lose confidence, and anger that lingers below the surface could erupt.",
"Adding to the trouble is Indonesia's status as one of the most corrupt nations in the world, according to Transparency International.",
"Those factors -- corruption and the economy -- are what experts say are allowing a conservative Muslim movement to gain momentum.",
"That movement says the current government's lack of piety is causing the nation's problems.",
"\"The prize for the global conservative movement is Indonesia,\" said political analyst Jeffery Winters.",
"\"If Indonesia were to move in a direction of becoming a much more conservative Islamic state, it would trigger a number of consequences.\"",
"Most political parties have been running on a platform of anti-corruption.",
"The governing Democratic Party has been taking action on corruption and is trying to capitalize on those gains.",
"Analysts say that, barring a major crisis, Yudhoyono -- who is known as \"Mr. Clean\" because of his anti-corruption efforts and who is lauded for his handling of the 2004 tsunami recovery and leading an anti-terrorism fight -- will probably win a second term.",

"Seroe Colorado, Aruba (CNN) -- Police in Aruba launched a new search Monday for missing U.S. woman Robyn Gardner, but no body and no new clues were found, Aruban authorities said.",
"The search area, a rugged terrain on the Dutch Caribbean Island, is covered with cactus and other treacherous desert plants.",
"It included a section next to the Correctional Institute of Aruba, where the only suspect connected to the case is being held.",
"The area was selected as a result of information authorities gained after interrogating Gary Giordano, and other information, said Aruba Solicitor General Taco Stein.",
"Police would not go into detail about \"other information\" they had obtained.",
"Search teams, including approximately 45 police officers, cadets and Red Cross volunteers, spread out in long lines and walked an area north of the Seroe Colorado lighthouse, just a few miles from Baby Beach and Nanki Point, where Giordano says Gardner disappeared while snorkeling.",
"Along the way firefighters drove their fire trucks down dirt paths and through thick undergrowth into areas where searchers found old well holes.",
"They lowered themselves down ladders and ropes to search for any sign of Gardner.",
"Giordano, 50, of Gaithersburg, Maryland, has told investigators that he went snorkeling with Gardner on August 2 and that she failed to return to shore with him.",
"According to a transcript, obtained exclusively by CNN, Giordano told police that he feared for his life when he signaled for Gardner to turn back and didn't look for her as he swam for shore.",
"\"I only looked back when I hit a rock,\" the document quotes Giordano as telling investigators.",
"\"Before that, I did not look back. I was only busy saving my life.\"",
"Gardner had been snorkeling before and was a comfortable swimmer, he said.",
"He showed police scrapes on his legs, but he said he did not know how they happened.",
"Stein said police have interviewed several witnesses in the case, but would not confirm or deny new reports suggesting a fisherman saw the couple leave the beach together.",
"Police have previously said no one saw Gardner and Giordano snorkeling.",
"Giordano and Gardner flew to Aruba on July 31.",
"A judge ordered last Monday that Giordano could be held until August 31 in connection with Gardner's disappearance.",
"On Thursday, police said that both Giordano and Gardner had their own travel insurance policies worth $1.5 million each.",
"Giordano's mother is the beneficiary on his policy, Stein said, and authorities have not said who is the beneficiary on Gardner's policy.",
"It was Giordano himself who told authorities about the travel insurance, Stein said.",
"The transcript shows that Giordano said his mother was the beneficiary on his policy, and that he was not asked who was named on Gardner's.",
"The FBI brought copies of the policy to Aruba late last week.",
"Giordano's lawyer, Michael Lopez, has not returned repeated calls for comment regarding the policy.",
"Other evidence in the case includes a camera that Giordano had been using while in Aruba with Gardner.",
"Based on his own conversations with Aruban law enforcement officials, Stein described the photos found on Giordano's camera as \"explicit.\"",
"Richard Forester of Maryland, who describes himself as Gardner's boyfriend, brushed aside reports of the pictures Monday and said his focus was squarely on locating Gardner.",
"\"There's a lost American woman there who I love very much and we need to find her,\" he told HLN's \"Issues With Jane Velez-Mitchell.\"",
"\"I'm not going to let this go until we find her.\"",
"\"I can get millions of eyes and ears on this.",

"Baghdad (CNN) -- A brazen insurgent attack inside a provincial council building in Baquba killed at least 12 people Tuesday, Iraqi Interior Ministry officials said.",
"Also Tuesday, gunmen used pistols equipped with silencers and shot dead Ahmed Hassan, the head of the legal department in Baghdad's provincial government, Interior Ministry officials said.",
"The attackers intercepted Hassan's car Tuesday morning as he was driving to work in the al-Alawi area in central Baghdad.",
"In Baquba, the militants were shooting randomly from the roof of the Diyala provincial council building at Iraqi security forces who surrounded the structure, said the officials, who did not want to be named because they are not authorized to release information to media.",
"The assault began with a suicide blast at the checkpoint to the compound, followed by a car bomb a few feet away, the officials said.",
"When security forces rushed to the scene to help the wounded, four insurgents forced themselves into the building and held people hostage.",
"By Tuesday afternoon, however, security forces regained control of the building and the hostages were freed.",
"U.S. troops, who were on routine patrol in the area, assisted with an initial search of the building at the request of Iraqi police and later assisted with security, said spokeswoman Maj. Angela Funaro.",
"U.S. helicopters scanned the area and provided information to the Iraqis.",
"Funaro said a number of U.S. tactical vehicles were also in the area but they were part of the routine convoy and were not called in as a response force.",
"The 12 fatalities included four attackers; at least 28 others were wounded in the incident, officials said.",
"Baquba, in ethically mixed Diyala province, is about 60 kilometers (37 miles) north of Baghdad.",
"\"It's a tragic incident,\" said Hasan al-Saneid, who chairs a security committee in parliament, speaking with Iraqiya state television.",
"\"All terrorist sleeper cells must be eliminated and the security plan in the province must be reviewed again,\" he said, adding that Tuesday's attack \"bears the hallmark of al Qaeda\" but cautioned that no conclusions be drawn until an investigation is completed.",
"Diyala was a stronghold of al Qaeda during the peak of Iraq's sectarian violence between 2005 and 2007.",
"In March, armed militants took over a government building in Tikrit in northern Iraq and held hostages.",
"At least 56 people died and 98 others were wounded in that attack, which also ended after Iraqi forces launched a raid to take back the building.",
"Overall violence in Iraq has plunged over the past three years, and the insurgency there has received devastating blows.",
"But the assaults Tuesday and in March are evidence of the instability that still plagues the nation.",
"The latest wave of violence raises concerns over the capabilities of the Iraqi security forces as U.S troops prepare to leave the country by the end of 2011 under the terms of a bilateral security agreement.",

"Washington (CNN) -- President Barack Obama called Monday for political will from both parties to fix what he described as the country's \"eminently solvable\" economic problems in the wake of last week's downgrade of its credit rating by Standard & Poor's.",
"In remarks to reporters that were added to his daily schedule, Obama noted the Friday downgrade from AAA to AA+ occurred because \"they doubted our political system's ability to act\" following the grueling negotiations with congressional leaders that preceded last week's agreement on a debt ceiling increase.",
"Now it will take political will on the part of Democrats and Republicans, the president said, calling on all involved to stop refusing \"to put what's best for the country ahead of self-interest or party or ideology.\"",
"\"We knew from the outset that a prolonged debate over the debt ceiling, a debate where the threat of default was used as a bargaining chip, could do enormous damage to our economy and the world's,\" Obama said on a day the Dow plunged 634 points in reaction to the S&P downgrade.",
"\"That threat, coming after a string of economic disruptions in Europe, Japan and the Middle East, has now roiled the markets and dampened consumer confidence and slowed the pace of recovery.\"",
"he said. Calling the situation a \"legitimate source of concern,\" Obama said the \"good news\" is that \"our problems are eminently solvable.",
"And we know what we have to do to solve them.",
"Later at a Democratic fund-raiser, Obama said he inherited the nation's economic problems.",
"\"Look, we do have a serious problem in terms of debt and deficit, and much of it I inherited when I showed up,\" he said.",
"\"And because of the financial crisis, it got worse.",
"So there's no doubt that we've got to fix our long-term finances.\"",
"The nation needs to tackle its budget deficits over the long term, he told reporters earlier, adding that he will be presenting his ideas for how to proceed in coming weeks as a special congressional committee set up under the debt-ceiling agreement begins its work.",
"Obama offered no details of his plan, and White House Press Secretary Jay Carney also provided no additional information when questioned later by reporters.",
"In his remarks, Obama said the issue of the most immediate concern to most Americans and to financial markets was the slow pace of recovery from economic recession.",
"He renewed his call for Congress to extend into next year the payroll tax cut that took effect in January as well as funding for unemployment insurance benefits, saying both steps would spur economic activity by putting money into the hands of consumers.",
"Noting public concerns about the economy, Obama declared: \"Markets will rise and fall, but this is the United States of America.",
"No matter what some agency may say, we've always been and always will be a triple-A country.\"",
"To tackle the mounting federal deficits and national debt, Obama has called for a comprehensive agreement that would cut spending, reform entitlement programs and increase tax revenue.",
"\"What it requires is that those of us who have the capacity can pay our fair share when it comes to taxes, like we did just as recently as 2000, when Bill Clinton was president, and requires us to make some modest adjustments in programs like Medicare that allow us to get a better bang for our buck on health care,\" Obama said at the evening fund-raiser.",
"\"And if we did those things over the course of 20, 30 years, because this is a 20- or 30-year problem, then the problem would be solved,\" he said.",
"\"It's not rocket science.",
"And it doesn't require us to decimate the things that we know are going to help us grow and become competitive.\"",
"Republicans oppose any kind of tax increase, and many reject increased tax revenue even if the tax rates remain the same or are lowered.",
"The tax revenue issue, as well as the scope of entitlement reforms, have been the main stumbling blocks to a major deficit reduction deal.",
"\"Over the next several months, there will be tremendous pressure on Congress to prove that S&P's analysis of the inability of the political parties to bridge our differences is wrong,\" said House Majority Leader Eric Cantor said in a memo to GOP members.",
"\"In short, there will be pressure to compromise on tax increases,\" he said.",
"\"We will be told that there is no other way forward.",
"I respectfully disagree.\"",
"The special congressional committee set up under a debt ceiling deal will comprise 12 members -- six Democrats and six Republicans -- from the House and Senate.",
"It must present its recommended package of deficit reduction steps by November 23, and Congress must vote on the package with no amendments by December 23.",
"Congressional leaders have until August 16 to appoint members to the special committee.",
"CNN's Tom Cohen contributed to this report."

"Atlanta (CNN) -- That bar of soap you used once or twice during your last hotel stay might now be helping poor children fight disease.",
"Derreck Kayongo and his Atlanta-based Global Soap Project collect used hotel soap from across the United States.",
"Instead of ending up in landfills, the soaps are cleaned and reprocessed for shipment to impoverished nations such as Haiti, Uganda, Kenya and Swaziland.",
"\"I was shocked just to know how much (soap) at the end of the day was thrown away,\" Kayongo said.",
"Each year, hundreds of millions of soap bars are discarded in North America alone.",
"\"Are we really throwing away that much soap at the expense of other people who don't have anything?",
"It just doesn't sound right.\"",
"Kayongo, a Uganda native, thought of the idea in the early 1990s, when he first arrived to the U.S. and stayed at a hotel in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.",
"He noticed that his bathroom was replenished with new soap bars every day, even though they were only slightly used.",
"\"I tried to return the new soap to the concierge since I thought they were charging me for it,\" Kayongo said.",
"\"When I was told it was just hotel policy to provide new soap every day, I couldn't believe it.\"",
"Kayongo called his father -- a former soap maker in Uganda -- and shared the experience.",
"\"My dad said people in America can afford to throw it away.",
"But I just started to think, 'What if we took some of this soap and recycled it, made brand new soap from it and then sent it home to people who couldn't afford soap?'",
"\" For Kayongo, collecting soap is \"a first line of defense\" mission to combat child-mortality around the world.",
"Each year, more than 2 million children die from diarrheal illness -- the approximate population of San Antonio, Texas.",
"According to the World Health Organization, these deaths occur almost exclusively among toddlers living in low-income countries.",
"\"The issue is not the availability of soap.",
"The issue is cost,\" Kayongo said.",
"\"Make $1 a day, and soap costs 25 cents.",
"I'm not a good mathematician, but I'm telling you I'm not going to spend that 25 cents on a bar of soap.",
"I'm going to buy sugar.",
"I'm going to buy medicine.",
"I'm going to do all the things I think are keeping me alive.",
"\"When you fall sick because you didn't wash up your hands, it's more expensive to go to the hospital to get treated.",
"And that's where the problem begins and people end up dying.\"",
"Do you know a hero? Nominations are open for 2011 CNN Heroes .",
"Kayongo, 41, is familiar with the stress that poverty and displacement can create.",
"Almost 30 years ago, he fled Uganda with his parents because of the mass torture and killings by former Ugandan military dictator Idi Amin, he said.",
"Witnessing the devastation of his homeland shaped Kayongo's mission and still haunts him today.",
"\"It's a long-term grieving process that sort of never ends,\" he said.",
"\"As a child coming from school, passing dead bodies for 10 solid years -- 'It's not cool,' as my son would put it.",
"It's not good. A lot of my friends were orphaned, and I was lucky.\"",
"Kayongo and his parents fled to Kenya, where he would visit friends and family in refugee camps and struggle to survive -- sometimes without basic necessities.",
"\"We lost everything,\" Kayongo said.",
"\"We didn't live in the camps, but we sacrificed a lot.",
"The people worse off lived in the camps.",
"Soap was so hard to come by, even completely nonexistent sometimes.",
"People were getting so sick simply because they couldn't wash their hands.\"",
"Kayongo transitioned from the tough life of a refugee to become a college graduate, a U.S. citizen and a field coordinator for CARE International, a private humanitarian aid organization.",
"But he has not forgotten his roots -- or the fact that many refugees in Africa continue to lack access to basic sanitation.",
"\"As a new immigrant and a new citizen to this country, I feel very blessed to be here,\" he said.",
"\"But it's important, as Africans living in the Diaspora, that we don't forget what we can do to help people back at home.",
"It's not good enough for us to complain about what other people aren't doing for us.",
"It's important that we all band together, think of an idea and pursue it.\"",
"With the support of his wife, local friends and Atlanta-based hotels, Kayongo began his Global Soap Project in 2009.",
"So far, 300 hotels nationwide have joined the collection effort, generating 100 tons of soap.",
"Some participating hotels even donate high-end soaps such as Bvlgari, which retails up to $27 for a single bar.",
"Volunteers across the U.S. collect the hotel soaps and ship them to the group's warehouse in Atlanta.",
"On Saturdays, Atlanta volunteers assemble there to clean, reprocess and package the bars.",
"\"We do not mix the soaps because they come with different pH systems, different characters, smells and colors,\" Kayongo said.",
"\"We sanitize them first, then heat them at very high temperatures, chill them and cut them into final bars.",
"It's a very simple process, but a lot of work.\"",
"A batch of soap bars is only released for shipment once one of its samples has been tested for pathogens and deemed safe by a third-party laboratory.",
"The Global Soap Project then works with partner organizations to ship and distribute the soap directly to people who need it -- for free.",
"To date, the Global Soap Project has provided more than 100,000 bars of soap for communities in nine countries.",
"Kenya Relief is one organization that has benefited.",
"Last summer, Kayongo personally delivered 5,000 bars of soap to Kenya Relief's Brittney's Home of Grace orphanage.",
"\"When we were distributing the soap, I could sense that there was a lot of excitement, joy, a lot of happiness,\" said Kayongo, whose work was recently recognized by the Atlanta City Council, which declared May 15 as Global Soap Project Day in Atlanta.",
"\"It's a reminder again of that sense of decency.",
"They have (someone) who knows about their situation, and is willing to come and visit them ... to come and say, 'We are sorry ... We're here to help.'",
"\" Want to get involved?",
"Check out the Global Soap Project website at www.globalsoap.org and see how to help."

"(CNN) -- Hundreds of military police raided a slum in northern Rio de Janeiro this weekend, seizing dozens of vehicles and hundreds of bundles of marijuana, state-run media reported Sunday.",
"There were no exchanges of gunfire in the operation, the city's public security chief Jose Mariano Beltrame told reporters on Sunday, according to Agencia Brasil.",
"The peaceful operation is in stark contrast to what happened in Rio in November, when at least 35 people died in violence set off after drug gangs lashed out at the increased police presence in the crime-ridden slums, which are known as favelas, police said.",
"That unrest led to a massive sweep of the Alemao favela complex that involved about 2,600 police and soldiers.",
"This weekend's operation, which culminated with the raising of a Brazilian flag Sunday morning in the Caixa d'Agua section of the city, was conducted by about 750 military police personnel.",
"Brazilian intelligence agents and marines also played a role, with 14 armored vehicles, five helicopters and GPS units all used as part of the operation, Agencia Brasil reported.",
"About 315,000 residents live in the affected neighborhoods, which include Morro da Mangueira, Morro dos Telegrafos and Candelaria.",

"LONDON, England (CNN) -- Juventus took on Torino in the Turin derby last weekend, and in honor of that we have scoured the world to bring you 10 other local derbies that stir the passions of those involved.",
"At the River Plate and Boca Juniors matches, the atmosphere can swell to boiling point.",
"Don't agree? Think we've left out a more hotly contested derby?",
"Tell us about one you think should make the top 10 in our Sound Off box, below.",
"1) CELTIC v RANGERS -- Glasgow, Scotland .",
"These two are the bitterest of bitter rivals.",
"Not only are they divided by football, but by religion as well, with Rangers taking their support from the Protestant community and Celtic the Catholic community.",
"The hostility has become so intense that both clubs have asked their fans to stop singing the sectarian songs that had become commonplace on match days.",
"To add fuel to the fire, they are consistently the only two teams who challenge for the Scottish title, with the make-up of the Premier League ensuring they face each other four times in a season, not including cups.",
"Despite both clubs attracting some top foreign stars, the helter-skelter nature of the fixture has not been diluted over time, as confirmed by the number of dismissals over the years.",
"2) ROMA v LAZIO -- Rome, Italy .",
"Undoubtedly the fiercest derby match in Italy, these two rivals really hate each other.",
"Violence in and around the Olympic Stadium between the sets of supporters, and the police, has become an all-too-common occurrence in recent seasons.",
"Both teams hate the perceived arrogance from the Northern cities (Milan, Turin) -- but they loathe each other more.",
"Roma take their support from a traditional working-class fan base, while Lazio's support tends to come from the wealthier districts.",
"The historical political differences between the fans is another reason for this rivalry.",
"Lazio's supporters, in general, followed right-wing ideals while the Roma fans leaned more to the left.",
"3) BOCA JUNIORS v RIVER PLATE -- Buenos Aires, Argentina .",
"Although by no means the most \"local\" derby in South America (the clubs are about 7km apart), it is undeniably the most intense.",
"The rivalry, hatred and violence involved are based on social class and money.",
"Both clubs were founded in the poor district of Buenos Aires called La Boca, but River Plate moved to a wealthier area called Nunez in the 1930s, heightening the animosity between the clubs.",
"Boca Juniors' stadium is known as \"La Bombonera\" (The Box of Chocolates) because of its layout.",
"The steep stands and the lack of a running track makes for a particularly intimidating atmosphere.",
"4) AL AHLY v ZAMALEK -- Cairo, Egypt .",
"Arguably Africa's most passionate derby, this match brings together two of the continent's most successful clubs.",
"Their rivalry is so strong that foreign referees are always brought in for the derby games and, following a number of violent incidents, matches between the two have been moved to the 75,000 capacity Cairo International Stadium.",
"On the pitch, Al Ahly currently have the upper hand, winning the last four league titles.",
"5) GALATASARAY v FENERBAHCE -- Istanbul, Turkey .",
"The Bosphorus separates the city of Istanbul into a European side and an Asian side.",
"Galatasaray, on the European side, have traditionally been the wealthier of the two clubs, while Fenerbahce, on the Asian side, have a largely working-class following.",
"However, in recent years, Fenerbahce have attracted a number of wealthy fans who have pumped money into the club, thus unbalancing the equilibrium.",
"Nowadays, there is nothing to choose between them on and off the pitch.",
"The last five league titles have alternated between the two clubs and both clubs have won 17 Turkish championships.",
"6) OLYMPIAKOS v PANATHINAIKOS -- Athens, Greece .",
"This is the derby between the two giants of Greek football, although the rivalry between the two also exists in basketball, Greece's national sport.",
"In the past, Olympiakos, from the port area of Piraeus, used to represent the working class, while Panathinaikos represented the upper-class suburbs of Athens.",
"Nowadays, the situation has evened out.",
"However, on the pitch, Olympiakos are the dominant club, having won 11 of the last 12 league titles, including the last four in a row.",
"7) RED STAR BELGRADE v PARTIZAN BELGRADE -- Belgrade, Serbia .",
"This is a relatively new fixture: both clubs were founded in 1945, but what they lack in age, they make up for in passion.",
"Partizan was founded as the football section of the central club of the former Yugoslavian Army, while Red Star was founded as the civilians' club.",
"Red Star, or Crvena Zvezda as they are now known, have traditionally been the more successful, achieving the ultimate of winning the European Cup in 1991.",
"8) WYDAD v RAJA -- Casablanca, Morocco .",
"These two are the biggest clubs in Morocco and violence between the fans often mars these fixtures.",
"Wydad used to dominate honors, but in recent seasons Raja have enjoyed more success.",
"N.B. Raja means \"hope\" and Wydad means \"love,\" although there is certainly no love between the rivals when they face each other!",
"9) PALMEIRAS v CORINTHIANS -- Sao Paulo, Brazil .",

"(Mashable) -- The word on the street tonight is that Apple is toying with the idea of a much larger screen for the iPhone 5.",
"Other iPhone 5 rumors include a slide-out keyboard and a more competitive camera.",
"These rumors may have been spawned by glimpses of as-yet unfinished prototypes which may never come to market; they could be complete fiction.",
"Or they could also represent part of the future of Apple's iconic phone.",
"The bulk of this iPhone 5-related gossip comes from a Taiwanese blog with a high rate of accuracy on previous Apple leaks.",
"The screen-size rumor comes from DigiTimes.",
"The interesting thing about all these rumors is that each one suggests Apple is more concerned than ever about competing with Android devices, many of which feature huge screens, massive cameras and physical keyboards already.",
"For example, many top-of-the-line Android models feature 8-megapixel cameras in contrast to the iPhone 4's 5-megapixel model.",
"A couple devices in non-U.S. markets even top that spec; the Altek Leo features a 14-megapixel camera.",
"Without question, the trend is toward more megapixels with every passing month.",
"And some of these Android devices feature screens as large as 4.3 inches.",
"Android devices with screens in the 4-inches-and-over category often sport kickstands and are lauded for their multimedia capabilities -- or derided for being slightly impractical and unwieldy, depending on the user's perspective.",
"Mashable: iPad 2 rumored to have SD card slot .",
"Now, the iPhone 5 is rumored to have a camera between 8 megapixels (competitive with current Android phones) and 12 megapixels (blowing most current Android models out of the water and likely keeping pace with future Androids, too).",
"With a better camera and a larger screen, it might sport the specs to intrigue those whose loyalties lie with the best hardware over the brand name.",
"The physical keyboard rumor, however, is a horse of a different color.",
"A handful of Android and RIM devices have been holding sway over the business and content-creating crowd with their über-efficient text entry.",
"But the enterprise isn't a market Apple has typically courted in the past; to do so now, we suspect they'd have to have a virtual keyboard option alongside a physical keyboard option -- an extremely atypical move for the company.",
"Which of these rumors -- if any -- do you think are true?",

"Memphis, Tennessee (CNN) -- The Mississippi River is cresting at Memphis, forecasters said Tuesday, as attention began turning to flooding concerns in Louisiana and Mississippi.",
"The slow passing of the bulge of water working its way from north to south along the Mississippi is only the beginning of the end of the siege for Memphis residents, who could be dealing with high water levels into June.",
"And the struggle is just getting started for residents of Mississippi and Louisiana, where the river is expected to rise over the next few days to levels unseen since 1927.",
"Louisiana Gov.",
"Bobby Jindal predicted Tuesday that as many as 3 million acres of his state could be affected by the flooding.",
"As has been the case upriver from Missouri south to Tennessee, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is predicting its system of levees and flood walls will hold, keeping the river from inundating the small towns and farms that line its banks.",
"\"The system is under stress.",
"It has been under significant stress all along.",
"However, it is operating as designed and intended,\" said Memphis District Readiness Branch Chief Steve Barry.",
"\"The time of greatest concern has passed.",
"We're in a stable situation,\" he said about the area around Memphis.",
"In Tunica, Mississippi, where the river was inching toward a 48-foot crest Tuesday evening, county spokesman Larry Liddell said there's not much anyone can do.",
"\"We're just watching and waiting,\" he said.",
"About 600 people in the Tunica community of Cutoff have been driven from their homes, Liddell said.",
"Some of the city's casinos also have water in them, but no one is sure how much, he said.",
"Downstream in Louisiana, the Corps said it was closing a major lock that allows for the transfer of barge traffic between the Mississippi and the Red River Basin.",
"The Corps also opened 44 more gates to the Bonnet Carre spillway in Norco, Louisiana, on Tuesday, sending millions of gallons of water rushing into Lake Pontchartrain and, eventually, the Gulf of Mexico.",
"The Corps opened 28 gates on Monday and may consider opening an additional 38 on Wednesday, according to Jefferson Parish President John Young.",
"The spillway was diverting the equivalent of nearly 50 Olympic-sized swimming pools from the Mississippi each minute, according to Corps statistics.",
"The agency is also considering opening a second spillway -- the Morganza Spillway -- that could flood populated areas.",
"The wait for whatever is going to happen is causing anxiety among residents.",
"They've been posting on Facebook pages operated by the Corps, demanding answers about if and when the Morganza Spillway will be opened and what other areas might be flooded.",
"The spillway is on the Mississippi River north of Baton Rouge.",
"Opening that spillway would send water into the Atchafalaya Delta to the west and south of Baton Rouge.",
"A decision about whether to open the spillway is expected within the next 48 hours, according to Col. Ed Fleming, commander of the Corps' New Orleans District.",
"If that second spillway is opened, Jindal predicted that roughly 2,500 people and 2,000 structures would be at risk directly inside the floodway.",
"Another 22,500 people and 11,000 structures would be affected by backwater flooding, he said.",
"The river in Memphis measured 47.81 feet as of 1 p.m. Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service, which had not yet reported an official crest.",
"Water levels could fall or rise slightly, said CNN meteorologist Jacqui Jeras.",
"\"This is a long process that has small peaks and valleys,\" she said.",
"A crest is defined as the high point of the water during a flood before it begins to recede.",
"Observers generally know that cresting is occurring when the gradual rise stops and the water level becomes stable.",
"The Mississippi is the highest it's been at Memphis since 1937, when it crested at 48.7 feet -- 14.7 feet above flood stage.",
"That flood killed 500 people and inundated 20 million acres of land, said Col. Vernie Reichling, the Corps of Engineers Memphis District commander.",
"So far, the levees protecting the area have only shown minor weaknesses, which workers have been able to control, he said.",
"The river covered the lowest parts of the city's historic Beale Street and had already forced about 400 people from their homes Monday, Memphis Mayor A.C. Wharton Jr. said.",
"Another 1,300 remained in low-lying areas, he said.",
"One of the Memphis residents in peril was Latisha Bowles.",
"Her neighborhood had been swallowed by floodwaters but so far, her home was the last one at the waters' edge.",
"\"It wants to come up here, but I've been praying every day it don't,\" Bowles told CNN affiliate WMC Monday.",
"\"I got three kids, and I'm not ready to move out of my house over this.\"",
"President Barack Obama signed disaster declarations for Tennessee on Monday and Tuesday, which will help direct federal aid toward recovery efforts in areas hit by severe storms, flooding and tornadoes since April and continuing.",
"Although the river was cresting, Reichling warned Memphis residents not to assume everything will soon return to normal.",
"\"The flooding is going to stay,\" he said.",
"\"This river is not going to drop below 47 (feet) until early next week at the earliest.",
"And that means all the tributaries that flow into this are going to stay high.\"",
"Flooded areas in Tennessee could turn into ideal breeding grounds for mosquitoes, which can transmit West Nile virus and other diseases, the Tennessee Department of Health warned.",
"The Mississippi State Department of Health said people in flooded areas could be at greater risk for tetanus.",
"Once past Tennessee, the crest will next target Louisiana and Mississippi, where residents and authorities continued preparations for river levels that could break records set in 1927, when flooding displaced 600,000 people and caused the equivalent of nearly $624 million in damages, according to the National Weather Service.",
"Forecasters don't expect anywhere near that kind of flooding, in large part because of the network of levees built after that disaster.",
"Some 500 National Guard members have been mobilized for the flooding event so far, Jindal said.",
"The river's crest was expected to begin arriving in Louisiana next week.",
"So far, 21 parishes have issued emergency declarations, Jindal said.",
"Flooding is the last thing needed in southern Louisiana, which is still recovering from Hurricane Katrina, said Lynn Magnuson, a New Orleans resident who submitted footage of the flooding to CNN iReport.",
"\"I went through Katrina,\" Magnuson said.",
"\"I would not wish flooding on anyone, and this city is the last place on Earth that needs any more high water.\"",
"U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-Louisiana, echoed that thought.",
"\"After hurricanes Katrina, Rita, Gustav and Ike -- as well as the oil spill -- Louisiana can ill-afford another large-scale disaster.",
"Billions of dollars in property is at stake, not to mention the threat to human life,\" she said.",
"Flooding also continued to be a problem in southeastern Missouri and southern Illinois, even though the Mississippi and Ohio rivers have already crested in those states.",
"Last week, the Corps intentionally breached a levee in Missouri as part of its effort to reduce the pressure on other levees, flooding 130,000 acres of agricultural land over the objection of state officials and some farmers.",
"The latest flooding in the Mississippi and Ohio river valleys is largely the byproduct of torrential rains throughout the region.",
"Over one two-week stretch, there was about 600% more precipitation than usual, forecasters said.",
"Current weather finally appears to be working in the flood fighters' favor.",
"Only minimal rain is expected over the coming days, with daytime temperatures forecast to be in the upper 80s and 90s through Thursday.",
"CNN's Greg Botelho, Marlena Baldacci, Phil Gast and Ben Smith contributed to this report."

"Ninderjit Singh, a Canadian citizen who lives in San Jacinto, California, is being detained on a provisional arrest warrant, the first step toward extraditing him to Vancouver, where is wanted in the 1999 shooting death of Poonam Randhawa, according to a statement from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).",

"Casablanca, Morocco (CNN) -- A few thousand people turned out Sunday to protest in Morocco, saying the king's proposed constitutional reforms don't go far enough.",
"Though many expressed support for their king to stay in power, demonstrators argued that a network of privilege and patronage surrounding him must end, and that he must part with more power than he has proposed.",
"In calling for the protests on Saturday, a member of the Rabat wing said participants are seeking \"a truly democratic constitution and a parliamentary monarchy.\"",
"\"The plan as proposed by the king yesterday does not respond to our demands for a true separation of powers,\" the organizer said Saturday.",
"But a Casablanca-based spokeswoman for the reform movement spoke out Saturday against organizing demonstrations, saying, \"All Moroccans are happy with the king's speech.\"",
"King Mohammed VI of Morocco declared sweeping reforms that will boost the power of the prime minister and take away some of his own.",
"The revamped draft constitution will make officials more accountable, the parliament in Rabat more dynamic and will give the government greater powers, the 47-year-old king said in a nationally televised address.",
"The reform movement has called for the creation of a parliamentary monarchy, an end to the influence of the king's inner circle and for a crackdown on corrupt officials.",
"Spain and Britain are examples of a parliamentary monarchy.",
"In his 30-minute speech Friday, the sovereign described the draft constitution as \"a bedrock of the special Moroccan democratic development model -- a new historical bond between the throne and the people,\" while describing himself as a \"citizen king.\"",
"His actions followed a series of unprecedented protests in this North African modern Muslim country, where street protests are normally tolerated by the state, unlike in most other Arab countries.",
"If the draft is ratified in a referendum set for July 1, its most radical change would be empowering voters to select a prime minister, thereby ending the longstanding practice in which the king has selected his own man for the job.",
"The prime minister has tended to take his lead from the sovereign on key matters of state.",
"If Moroccans back the draft, then the new prime minister would have new powers in decision-making and in day-to-day management -- relieving the king of a number of duties and aligning the style of management along the lines followed by some European Union countries.",
"In an example of power sharing, the draft constitution empowers the prime minister to dissolve the House of Representatives, and stresses that the king shall consult him before announcing the dissolution of parliament.",
"\"It specifies the conditions to be observed in each case in order to ensure the separation of powers as well as balance and cooperation between the branches,\" the king said.",
"Friday's speech stems from a process that was first announced in March, after widespread civil unrest in the wake of the revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt.",
"The king instructed a hand-picked committee to consult with political parties, trade unions and civil society groups on constitutional changes with a brief to trim the monarch's political powers and make the judiciary independent.",
"But not all civil society groups were consulted, which sparked a wave of demonstrations across the kingdom from groups who feared they would be left out of the new plan.",
"This move alone -- to grant real power to an elected prime minister -- could satisfy a number of demands from those members of society who have called for change.",
"Confirming the full authority of the head of government over cabinet members, the draft constitution gives the prime minister the power to propose and dismiss cabinet members.",
"But King Mohammed will remain a key power broker in the security, military and religious fields, according to the draft.",
"For example, the king would still serve as \"the supreme commander of the armed forces\" and would not relinquish the power to appoint ambassadors and diplomats under the new constitution.",
"Furthermore, the king would retain the power to dissolve parliament after consultations with the new constitutional court, half of whose members he would have appointed.",

"The center of the galaxy is a \"unique laboratory\" for astronomical study.",
"The 16-year study involved tracking the movement of 28 stars at the center of the Milky Way using telescopes at the European Southern Observatory in Chile.",
"Using the data collected, astronomers were able to calculate important properties about the black hole -- called Sagittarius A* -- such as its size and mass.",
"Professor Reinhard Genzel, who led the study at the Bavaria-based Max-Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics, said the data collected proved the existence of the black hole \"beyond any reasonable doubt.\"",
"\"Undoubtedly the most spectacular aspect of our long term study is that it has delivered what is now considered to be the best empirical evidence that super-massive black holes do really exist,\" said Genzel.",
"The black hole had a central mass concentration of four million solar masses, he added.",
"The study also enabled astronomers to calculate the distance of the earth from the center of the galaxy, now measured to be 27,000 light-years, and enhanced by six times the accuracy to which they were able to measure the positions of stars -- the equivalent of seeing a one euro coin from a distance of 10,000 kilometers (6,214 miles).",
"One star, called S2, orbited the center of the Milky Way so quickly that it completed one full revolution within the duration of the study.",
"Genzel said the center of the galaxy was a \"unique laboratory\" for the study of the strong gravity, stellar dynamics and star formation with a level of detail \"never possible beyond our galaxy.\"",
"Stefan Gillessen, the chief author of the study, published in the Astrophysical Journal, said: \"The Galactic Center harbors the closest supermassive black hole known.",
"Hence, it is the best place to study black holes in detail.\""

"(CNN) -- Confusion and then an uneasy calm.",
"That's how residents up and down the East Coast described their reaction to the 5.8-magnitude earthquake that rattled millions of people Tuesday.",
"The quake, which struck at 1:51 p.m., was shallow -- just 3.7 miles deep.",
"The epicenter was about 40 miles northwest of Richmond, Virginia, the U.S. Geological Survey said.",
"It sent tremors throughout the region, surprising people at least as far away as New York, Ohio and Georgia.",
"Sarah Merz said her co-worker in Camden, New Jersey, was the first one to notice the rumbling.",

"People stood stunned outside for a few minutes, she said.",
"\"All of the sudden your heart starts to pound because you know on the East Coast, this just doesn't happen.",
"It made me nervous at first, but then at the same time it's kind of this crazy curiosity.\"",

"\"You're like, wait, am I moving?",
"You keep second-guessing yourself.",
"... You start thinking too much.",
"You're like, is it happening again?\"",
"When she sat down at her desk, Merz noticed her framed college diploma was still vibrating on the wall.",
"Stories like hers poured in from across the East Coast as residents, generally not used to earthquakes, struggled in the early moments of the temblor to understand what was happening.",
"Was is a helicopter? A truck? A train? Kate Duddy was in an office building elevator in Manhattan, alone, when the shaking started.",

"It was scary having no idea what the cause was,\" she said.",
"\"I felt the vibrations and the elevator stopped for a period of about five minutes.\"",

"Courtney Thompson, a CNN iReporter from Lanoka Harbor, New Jersey, had no doubt it was a quake, either.",
"The question for her was whether it had occurred out in the ocean.",
"She said everyone taking in the sun at Ortley Beach, New Jersey, sprang up at the same time and looked anxiously out to the Atlantic.",

"\"Over here, we were rocking and rolling,\" he said.",
"CNN iReporter Jeff Yapalater said he was in his backyard in New York's Long Island when the shaking started.",

"... We're feeling this really far away!\"",
"he wrote. CNN's Susan Candiotti came across a couple waiting to get back into an evacuated courthouse, where they had been waiting to be married when the quake struck.",

"(CNN) -- Four Italian journalists were kidnapped Wednesday in Libya by unknown assailants, a spokesman for the Italian foreign ministry confirmed to CNN.",
"One of the journalists was able to call his newspaper, and according to his editor he reported that he and his colleagues had been beaten when they were taken, and one of their drivers had been killed.",
"The foreign ministry spokesman, Maurizio Massari, said the four reporters were kidnapped on a road about 80 kilometers (about 50 miles) from Tripoli.",
"Massari said while it was unclear who captured the journalists, the ministry assumed it was pro-Gadhafi forces.",
"He also said it was unclear what demands, if any, the kidnappers had.",
"Massari said that the journalists, all from prominent Italian daily newspapers, were well.",
"He did not elaborate. Paolo Alfieri, foreign editor of the newspaper Avvenire, identified the four as Elisabetta Rosaspina and Giuseppe Sarcina from the newspaper Corriere della Sera, Sono Domenico Quirico from La Stampa, and Claudio Monici from Avvenire.",
"Alfieri told CNN that those holding the journalists allowed Monici to make a call to his newsroom, and Monici told his colleagues that he had been traveling with the others from the town of Zawiya toward Tripoli when they were stopped at a roadblock.",
"Monici said he and the other journalists were beaten, and one of the drivers was killed.",
"Alfieri said Monici's voice was \"calm\" during the call to his newsroom, and Monici reported that at the time he and the others were \"well.\"",
"The call lasted about five to six minutes, Alfieri said, and Monici asked him to alert the Italian foreign ministry and the other newspapers.",
"Monici did not say anything about what the kidnappers were demanding.",
"Alfieri said that Monici had been in Zawiya since Sunday night and had arrived there from Tunis.",
"Monici and the other journalists are all experienced war reporters Alfieri said.",

"Massari said late Wednesday that the Italian consul in Benghazi, Guido De Sanctis, had reached one of the four reporters by phone.",
"De Sanctis said the journalists were well, and were in Tripoli, according to Massari.",

"Jerusalem (CNN) -- Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak said Thursday Israel's military will continue to hit Palestinians suspected of attacking Israel, amid escalating violence in the region since a deadly terror attack on Israelis a week ago.",
"Twenty-two Palestinians have died in air strikes in the past week, Palestinian medical sources say, as Israel has carried out a series of targeted attacks on the alleged leaders of terror groups.",
"Eight have died in the past day.",
"Meanwhile, more than 140 rockets and mortars have been fired into Israeli territory from Gaza since last Thursday, a spokesman for the Israel Defense Forces told CNN Thursday, eight of them in the past 24 hours.",
"In an interview for CNN in Jerusalem, Barak said the recent violence had been triggered by the terror attack last Thursday by Palestinian militants near the southern city of Eilat, which killed eight Israelis.",
"Another Israeli was killed by a rocket attack near the city of Beer Sheva in southern Israel.",
"Most of those responsible for the attacks had been swiftly found and killed by Israel, Barak said, some near the scene of the attack near Eilat and others in Gaza.",
"\"I'm extremely satisifed by this achievement,\" he said, because it signals \"that we mean business and we are not going to accept the massacre of our civilians on the roads.\"",
"Asked if Israel and the Palestinians were entering a new period of dangerous hostilities, Barak said he hoped not -- but that he couldn't promise it.",
"The International community has expressed concern over the latest round of violence, which has come despite a purported truce agreed between Israel and Palestinian militant groups during the weekend.",
"Barak said Israel believed Bedouins with Egyptian citizenship had probably been involved in the attack near Eilat -- but that he did not know for sure.",
"Israel was not able to share all its intelligence with the public, he said, as that would help members of terror groups \"not to fall into our cross hairs.\"",
"Barak reiterated Israel's expression of \"regret\" over the deaths of Egyptian soldiers in its Sinai region, which borders Israel, last week.",
"Egypt condemned Israel's action as \"indiscriminate shelling.\"",
"Barak has promised Israel will conduct a military investigation, followed by a joint examination with the Egyptian military, of the incident.",
"Asked about Israel's relationship with Turkey, Barak said his country had to consider issuing an apology to Turkey over the deaths of activists on board a Turkish ship bound for Gaza last year.",
"Barak said the operation had been justified but that questions had been raised over its execution by the Israeli military.",
"Turkey has demanded an apology from Israel.",
"Relations between the two nations reached rock bottom last summer, when nine activists on board the Mavi Marmara, a Turkish ship filled with aid and 700 activists from various countries, died in clashes with Israeli Navy commandos while attempting to break Israel's blockade of Gaza.",
"An independent Israeli commission found that Israeli commandos \"acted professionally and in a measured manner in the face of unanticipated violence\" and that members of a Turkish relief group on the ship \"were direct participants in hostilities\" who attacked the Israeli troops.",
"Barak said Turkey was \"an extremely important country in the region\" and that it would serve both countries' interests to reach an understanding.",
"Turkey had \"a major role to play\" in maintaining the stability of the Middle East, he said.",
"Both countries are awaiting a United Nations report into the 2010 flotilla incident.",
"On the subject of Syria, Barak said he was fully behind the call by the United States and several European allies for leader Bashar al-Assad to step down.",
"\"He has clearly lost legitimacy with his own people.",
"I believe he is doomed.",
"He will probably stay there for another three or six months, but he is doomed,\" he said.",
"Barak said he would like to see a similar international approach to Syria as has been taken with Libya.",
"\"We need much tighter international pressure there,\" he said.",
"With regards to the Palestinian Authority's plans to make a bid for statehood in the United Nations next month, Barak said he believed the move served the interests of neither Israel nor the Palestinians.",
"Fnding a way to continue negotiations would be the best way forward, he said.",
"CNN's Kevin Flower and Guy Azriel contributed to a report."

"(CNN) -- Casey Anthony must serve a year of probation after being convicted on check fraud charges, a Florida appeals court ruled Tuesday.",
"Anthony cannot \"take advantage\" of an administrative error to avoid serving the 2010 sentence, the appeals court ruled.",
"The Fifth District Court of Appeal's ruling comes a day after Florida's attorney general filed a motion in the case.",
"Attorney General Pamela Bondi argued that a clerical error should not prevent Anthony from abiding by a judge's verbal order.",
"Anthony \"and her lawyers were well aware that her probationary placement was not to begin until her release from confinement,\" the appeals court ruling said.",
"Anthony has been in seclusion since her July acquittal on murder charges in the 2008 death of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee, and her subsequent release from jail.",
"Anthony was convicted of felony check fraud for stealing a checkbook from a friend and writing five checks for $644.25.",
"A judge sentenced her in that case in January 2010.",
"Orange County Chief Judge Belvin Perry Jr. ruled earlier this month that she had to report for probation on the bad-check charge by Friday.",
"The attorney general's office wrote that Anthony \"upon her release (July 17), should have reported\" for probation -- something she did not do.",
"Anthony's probation order requires her to live in Orange County, Florida, unless the probation office allows her to leave.",
"She has received no such approval, a corrections department spokeswoman has said.",
"But Anthony's attorneys have argued repeatedly that Anthony should not have to return to serve her probation in Florida.",
"In an emergency petition filed on Wednesday with the same appeals court, Anthony's defense team asked that the court overturn Perry's order before the required date.",
"They also asked the appellate court to strip Perry of further jurisdiction in the case.",
"Orange County Circuit Judge Stan Strickland had earlier ordered Anthony to serve a year of probation after her release in the charges involving her daughter, but a clerk misunderstood the judge and prepared an order that the judge later signed, instructing that Anthony would serve the probation while in custody awaiting trial.",
"The order was updated August 1 to add the words \"upon release.\"",
"But Anthony's lawyers contended that she couldn't be required to serve probation, arguing that she had already served it while in custody under a signed order from Strickland.",
"Serving the sentence now would violate constitutional protections against having to serve a sentence twice for the same offense, they argued.",
"Perry ruled earlier this month that Strickland's verbal order was binding -- a ruling the appeals court upheld Tuesday."

"(CNN) -- Researchers from Alfred Kinsey to local nonprofits have tried for decades to count the United States' gay, lesbian and bisexual population, and still, there were no hard numbers.",
"But for the first time, the decennial census results report counts of same-sex partners and same-sex spouses, regardless of whether same-sex marriage is legal in their states.",
"Headlines from across the country reveal common themes: There are more people who identify as gay, and they've dispersed to more places.",
"In New Jersey, \"Number of gay couples ... rises sharply.\"",
"In South Carolina, \"Family makeup is changing.\"",
"In Iowa, \"Same-sex households up 77%.\"",
"In Provincetown, Massachusetts: \"America's Gayest City.\"",
"The U.S. Census Bureau has been releasing the state data since June, along with information about how many children are being raised in same-sex parent households.",
"National figures will be released in November.",
"State numbers reveal about a 50% increase in same-sex couples since 2000, with some of the biggest increases in traditionally conservative parts of the country, said demographer Gary Gates of UCLA Law School's Williams Institute, a think tank dedicated to sexual orientation and gender-related law and public policy.",
"The increase isn't because of a surge of gay people coupling in the last decade, Gates said.",
"Rather, growing social acceptance of homosexuality has led to a greater willingness to report it.",
"Some states with the greatest proportion of same-sex couples -- Vermont, Massachusetts, California, Oregon, Delaware -- are among those that issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples or allow civil unions.",
"Other trends are emerging, too.",
"What do Provincetown; Wilton Manors, Florida; and Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, have in common?",
"They're vacation or retirement destinations known for having strong ties to the LGBT population, and the data shows some of the highest concentrations of same-sex couples.",
"\"What may be happening is this idea that baby boomers were the first generation to really have a visible LGBT community, and of course, they're starting to retire now,\" he said.",
"The numbers also show the proportion of same-sex couples raising children hasn't changed much since 2000, he said, despite increasing numbers of adoptions.",
"Gates' explanation: Fewer couples are raising children from previous heterosexual relationships.",
"\"That form of parenting is on the decline,\" he said.",
"\"With greater social acceptance, people are coming out earlier in life and they're less likely to have children.\"",
"So why count gay couples and their children at all?",
"The numbers and correlations could be used to develop policies about same-sex marriage or partner benefits, advocacy groups say.",
"\"It's hard to advocate for a group of people when you can't say with certainty how many of them are in our communities,\" said Brian Moulton, chief legislative counsel for Human Rights Campaign, the nation's largest LGBT advocacy group.",
"\"This helps us better quantify the economic harm to same-sex couples and how many people are affected by decisions to deny them the rights and benefits of marriage, especially those associated with federal law.\"",
"But some argue the census didn't go far enough to collect data on the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender population.",
"No question in the 2010 census asked \"Are you lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender?\"",
"and no results share the total number of LGBT people in the United States.",
"Rather, the census counted people of the same sex who live together and checked the boxes for \"husband and wife\" or \"unmarried partner.\"",
"The results are based on how people identify themselves, even if they live in states where same-sex marriages aren't legally recognized.",
"The 2000 census provided the first opportunity for same-sex couples who described themselves as husbands or wives to be counted as same-sex couples.",
"But those responses were ultimately counted as unmarried partners, because marriage for same-sex couples wasn't legal in any states then.",
"New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg officiates same-sex wedding .",
"When the census counted only those who live with a spouse or partner, it left out the majority of gay people in the United States, said Richard Socarides, president of Equality Matters and former White House special assistant and senior adviser to President Bill Clinton.",
"\"Any data is better than no data, so I think there is some data that might be helpful for researchers and statisticians, \" Socarides said.",
"\"But from a political perspective, until they agree to count the LBGT community in its entirety, I'm not going to be satisfied.\"",
"Socarides acknowledged that the census doesn't specifically enumerate heterosexuals, but argues that population isn't wrapped in a polarized debate about rights.",
"\"The country is involved in a very important policy debate about extending rights and responsibilities to gay Americans and in the context of that debate, it is important to know how many people we're talking about,\" he said.",
"Others have attempted to estimate -- not count -- the country's LGBT population, but any count can be hampered by survey methodology and willingness to respond.",
"The Williams Institute estimated that more than 8 million adults in the United States are lesbian, gay, or bisexual, and nearly 700,000 are transgender.",
"A study released in April suggested that nearly 9 million Americans, about the population of New Jersey, identify as LGBT.",
"Williams Institute research has also found that about 50,000 same-sex couples have married, based on administrative data on the number of couples who have legally married in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Iowa, Vermont and New Hampshire.",
"Another 85,000 same-sex couples have entered into civil unions or domestic partnerships in Vermont, California, New Jersey, Oregon, New Hampshire, Washington and Nevada, according to the Williams Institute.",
"The census results are just one table on a long, long spreadsheet, but demographers and advocacy groups said it's a significant change.",
"\"The fact that the census is very publicly beginning to acknowledge the need for this kind of data, that's a big deal,\" Gates said.",
"\"Those who work to expand civil rights and legal protections for same-sex couples say having some sort of baseline count helps their efforts.\"",
"Before the census count, some nonprofits conducted their own counts of the LGBT populations in their communities.",
"The United Way of Broward County, Florida, launched its own web-based survey in 2009 with the goal of assessing the needs of the \"lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning\" community.",
"\"The Count\" asks basic demographic questions -- race, ethnicity and age -- but also tries to take the pulse of the community and identify problems.",
"One question asks whether ageism, elitism, sexual addiction or lack of leadership are serious problems.",
"Others ask respondents about violence or harassment based on sexual orientation, about health and whether their relationships are \"nurturing and supportive.\""

"Washington (CNN) -- NATO has begun high-level internal discussions on how to protect Libya's mustard gas supplies if the stockpile suddenly was deemed to no longer be secure, an Obama administration official tells CNN.",
"At this point the effort is considered \"prudent planning\" only, the official said, but this is the first indication the international community could be prepared to secure the stockpile currently at the Rabta site south of Tripoli.",
"The mustard gas is not weaponized and would be difficult to use in any immediate attack.",
"But much of the concern is that material could be diverted or sold to third parties such as terrorist groups.",
"The United States is involved in the safeguard discussions, but there is no current consideration of sending U.S. troops the official said.",
"The focus of the planning effort is what to do \"if a force of some type is needed to secure the site,\" he said.",

"They had been under house arrest in various locations in the north and centre of the country.",
"Noël Dje, a representative of the Office of the Public Prosecutor, told CNN those indicted remain under arrest.",

"\"Ebay is not the best place to look as it is mostly civilian body armour available.",

"(CNN) -- For many gamers, recent news stories about potential security breaches, lost data or lifted financial information were missing the most basic, most important point: When do I get to play again?",
"Sony's PlayStation Network breach was one of those things that wasn't supposed to happen.",

"Sure, gamers could play locally, off-network -- as in \"by yourself.\"",

"Which potentially (if not inevitably) leads to heat exhaustion, sun poisoning, and never being able to track down where all the fuzzy little balls went.",

"The PlayStation Network breach affects millions of potential young voters, so Congress got into the act, asking Sony to do some explaining.",
"In a letter to its chairman, a House subcommittee on Energy and Commerce asked why Sony waited so long to notify customers about the breach.",
"Reps. Bono Mack and Butterfield asked how they could be confident credit card information wasn't stolen and if Sony knew the identity of those responsible.",

"Sony has said that the network will be up this week.",

"(CNN) -- Former Honduran President Manuel Zelaya, who was ousted in a coup nearly two years ago, returned to his homeland Saturday.",
"His plane touched down in the capital, Tegucigalpa, in the afternoon.",
"Thousands of supporters cheered his arrival at the airport.",
"While Zelaya has entered Honduras since the military roused him in his pajamas and sent him into exile, Saturday marked the first time he returned without fear of prosecution.",
"Wearing his trademark cowboy hat, Zelaya addressed his supporters, calling on them to pursue peaceful, democratic change.",
"\"The problem of poverty, of corruption ... will not be solved with violence, but through more democracy, greater citizen participation and better transparency,\" he told a roaring crowd.",
"Zelaya this month inked an accord with the country's current president that allowed him to return.",
"Most recently, he has been in exile in the Dominican Republic.",
"The deal, which was brokered by the Colombian and Venezuelan governments, was signed in Cartagena, Colombia, by Zelaya and Honduran President Porfirio Lobo.",
"It allowed Zelaya and his allies to return to Honduras and helps clear the way for the country to rejoin the Organization of American States.",
"Zelaya and his supporters will also be permitted to participate in Honduran politics.",
"\"I hope the reconciliation plan serves to unite the family of Honduras,\" Zelaya told CNN en Espanol, from the plane that took him to Honduras.",
"\"I am a peaceful man.",
"I am a Christian and I do not hold a grudge.\"",
"He said he does not immediately intend to run for president.",
"Zelaya, who alienated many by his insistence on pursuing constitutional changes that might have allowed him to seek re-election, nonetheless counts with many allies.",
"His supporters in Tegucigalpa prepared banners and posters this week to pass out to those who would gather to welcome him back.",
"Yet many others are not thrilled.",
"Even several of the country's news networks refused to cover Zelaya's arrival.",
"Cholusat Sur broadcast images of his return.",
"\"I think that this will create more problems for the country,\" university student Daniel Melendez said prior to the former leader's arrival.",
"\"There is going to be a repeat of what there was before.\"",
"Zelaya was overthrown on June 28, 2009, and flown into exile.",
"He sneaked back into Honduras in September of that year and got refuge in the Brazilian Embassy, where he remained holed up until Lobo arranged for Zelaya to get safe passage out of the country.",
"Honduras has been excluded from the Organization of American States since the coup, in part because Zelaya had not been allowed to return home without fear of prosecution.",
"He faced corruption charges, which were dropped this month.",
"The de facto government that replaced Zelaya was eventually replaced by the elected government of Lobo.",
"But because the election happened under the rule of the de facto forces, some countries have not recognized the election results.",
"Many countries, including the United States, have recognized the Lobo government, while others, such as Brazil, have not.",
"Zelaya's return to Honduras is expected to help further reintegrate Honduras into the international community.",
"Journalist Elvin Sandoval contributed to this report for CNN."
