"(CNN) -- Former Chelsea assistant Ray Wilkins believes the Premier League club will re-appoint Guus Hiddink as their new manager.",
"Wilkins worked alongside Hiddink in 2009, when the Dutchman took over from Luis Felipe Scolari, and the pair helped Chelsea lift the FA Cup that season.",
"Hiddink's temporary reign ended before the start of the 2009-2010 season and Carlo Ancelotti then took the London side to a league and cup double, before a trophy-less season just gone resulted in the Italian losing his job.",
"Since then, Hiddink -- who is currently in charge of the Turkish national side -- has been linked with a return to Stamford Bridge and Wilkins, who was controversially sacked by Chelsea last season.",
"believes he will be appointed by the London club very soon.",
"Speaking to CNN, Wilkins said: \"It seems to be heading towards Guus.",
"He has been there once before, only for four months, but we won the FA Cup and also reached the Champions League semifinals in that time.",
"\"The Champions League seems to be the holy grail for Chelsea and if they are to go one stage further in that competition, Guus would be the man to do that.\"",
"Wilkins added: \"Guus knows the way Chelsea think and knows everybody at the training ground, so it would just be like slotting in the last piece of the jigsaw puzzle.\"",
"Meanwhile, Aston Villa have confirmed the appointment of former Birmingham manager Alex McLeish on a three-year contract.",
"McLeish led Birmingham to victory in last season's Carling Cup final, but the club were also relegated out of the Premier League for the second time under his control -- and he quit his position under a cloud last week.",
"Birmingham and Villa are bitter city rivals and McLeish's appointment has resulted in fan demonstrations.",
"However, McLeish told the official Villa website: \"I know some of the fans have voiced concerns and I can understand why.",
"But it is up to me to convince them that I am the right man to take this club forward.\"",
"Elsewhere in the Premier League, the fixtures for the forthcoming 2011-2012 season were released with champions Manchester United facing a trip to West Bromwich Albion in their opening match.",
"United won 2-1 there last season, but WBA were the only team to come away from Old Trafford with a point in a 2-2 draw.",
"Arsenal travel to Newcastle, where they squandered a four-goal lead to draw 4-4, while new big-money Liverpool signing Jordan Henderson faces a dream home debut against the club he has just left, Sunderland.",
"New boys Swansea face a daunting trip to Manchester City, while fellow- newcomers QPR are at home to Bolton and Norwich must travel to Wigan."

"Video showed luggage scattered on ground around the runway just outside the aircraft.",
"One person dressed in bomb squad gear opened and looked at the bags, one by one.",
"Other aircraft could be seen taking off from the airport.",

"The U.N. also acted to freeze Gadhafi's financial assets, which means he won't have access to some of his money.",
"The United Kingdom made the same move yesterday.",
"Back in Libya, thousands of people are trying to get away from the violence.",
"The United Nations Commission on Refugees says a lot of those people have fled to the neighboring countries of Egypt and Tunisia.",

"In the early morning hours Sunday, Chileans gathered for a candlelight vigil to mark the anniversary and remember the 521 people killed by the quake.",
"President Pinera, who hadn't taken office yet when the tremor struck, called it the most destructive earthquake in the history of Chile.",
"This file footage shows you scenes from the aftermath of the quake.",
"It was tremendous, with a magnitude of 8.8.",
"Thousands were left homeless.",
"And now, even a year later, dozens are still missing.",
"Budget Battle .",
"AZUZ: Workers' unions are at the heart of a budget battle in Wisconsin.",
"Republican Governor Scott Walker says his state is broke and unions block efforts that could save money.",
"People protesting against Governor Walker's proposed budget bill say it's designed to break up unions by limiting collective bargaining.",
"That's when unions negotiate working conditions for employees.",
"Governor Walker talked recently about why collective bargaining should be limited.",
"GOVERNOR SCOTT WALKER, (R) WISCONSIN: Collective bargaining has a cost.",
"It has a cost in terms of health care and pension contributions.",
"It has a cost overall in terms of how our governments operate at the local level.",
"And we've got to change that relationship so that we can preserve jobs and ultimately, most importantly, so that the corrections we make for this budget aren't one-time fixes or short-term fixes.",
"AZUZ: Last week, the Wisconsin assembly passed the budget bill.",
"The Senate hasn't voted yet, because Senate Democrats haven't come back; they left the state to keep the vote from happening.",
"Governor Walker says layoffs could be coming if they can't reach an agreement soon.",
"One leading Wisconsin Democrat says the governor and Republicans aren't listening to what people want.",

"The space shuttle program is winding down and this is Discovery's final scheduled mission.",
"The Endeavour and the Atlantis are set to go up later this year.",

"ZARRELLA: NASA, with Congressional backing, in fact urging, decided Atlantis had one more flight in her.",
"Hold off on those moth balls.",
"Once the shuttle program ends and until commercial companies take over, with rockets ten times safer than the shuttle, the Russians will ferry astronauts to the space station.",
"Flying Atlantis shortens that gap and allows NASA to stock the station's pantry.",
"GERSTENMAIER: You know, it can carry, you know, roughly five to ten times what one of these single other supply ships can carry.",
"So, in one shuttle mission, you could think of me being able to carry at least five other vehicles' worth of cargo.",
"ZARRELLA: But it's an expensive U-Haul trip.",
"Shuttle flights cost about half a billion dollars.",
"FRED GUTERL, EXECUTIVE EDITOR, SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN: The rule of thumb is whenever the space shuttle flies, it's a waste of money.",
"The space shuttle is hugely expensive for what it does and it's not that safe, which is why it's being discontinued.",
"So, to continue it for one more flight is not necessary.",
"ZARRELLA: But NASA has what it needs to pull off the flight.",
"There was one more external tank at the factory in Louisiana, and an extra set of booster rockets came in by train from Utah.",
"But is this more about putting off the inevitable end and keeping shuttle workers employed than a real need?",
"MIKE LEINBACH, NASA, LAUNCH DIRECTOR: This is our passion.",
"This is what we do. I mean this is, this is how we support our families and how we support the American people and the international partners.",
"It's not dragging it out, it's allowing us to continue doing what we do best.",
"ZARRELLA: Atlantis is scheduled to lift off in late June, return in early July.",

"Athens, Greece (CNN) -- Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou reshuffled his Cabinet Friday amid a financial crisis that could reverberate far beyond his country's borders.",
"Among the sweeping changes, Papandreou tapped Evangelos Venizelos, the former defense minister, to serve in the key posts of finance minister and deputy prime minister.",
"The government reshuffle is an attempt by Papanedreou to push through austerity measures demanded by the European Union but unpopular at home and opposed by some of his own party members.",
"The harsh reforms designed to help reduce Greece's enormous budget deficit have so far led to public sector job losses and tax hikes.",
"The crisis raises concerns for Europe's currency, the euro.",
"A default on its debts by Greece, or another struggling nation such as Portugal or Ireland, could adversely affect the world economy.",
"There are fears that efforts to restructure Greece's debt could send shockwaves through Europe's banking sector and spark investor panic similar to that in the 2008 collapse of Lehman Brothers, the U.S. based global investment bank.",
"Venizelos addressed the nation Friday, urging consensus in solving the crisis.",
"\"Our priority is the viability and sustainability of the public debt,\" he said.",
"\"There is no disagreement on this issue.\"",
"He said that with the help of the Greek people, \"I am sure we will succeed.\"",
"Venizelos, a veteran politician, steered Greece's preparations for the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens.",
"He replaces Giorgos Papakonstantinou, who will become the environment minister, a government spokesman said.",
"The new Greek Cabinet members were sworn in during a televised ceremony Friday afternoon.",
"\"With the new composition of the government we make a new start,\" Papandreou told Parliament.",
"\"We face the biggest threat that our country has known over the last decades.\"",
"He said Venizelos was tapped to spearhead the implementation of what he called an \"especially painful\" and \"difficult program of big structural changes that will lead our country to a viable economy during the following years.",
"Papandreou said he will soon convene a Cabinet meeting to address the problem of record-high unemployment rates.",
"European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso expressed hope the government retructuring will help Greece move forward.",
"\"I call on all political forces to put all their energy into securing broad political support for the economic reform that Greece needs -- reform for the benefit of the people and for the benefit of Greece,\" Barroso said in a statement.",
"In Berlin, the leaders of Germany and France met to find common ground on furthur bailout money for Greece to stop it from defaulting.",
"European nations are divided over whether to provide more assistance.",
"\"We'd like to once again emphasize what we have said again and again -- that the euro is our common currency,\" German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Friday.",
"\"Europe and the euro are most closely connected with each other,\" she said, speaking to reporters with French President Nicolas Sarkozy.",
"\"Its economic strength, Germany's economic strength, is connected to a strong euro, and we will therefore do everything to preserve and support the euro and its stability altogether ... and to recover from the difficulties we are having.\"",
"Sarkozy said any solution that involved the private sector should be on a voluntary basis.",
"Papandreou faces opposition from his party over the austerity measures needed to secure an additional bailout package from institutions including the International Monetary Fund and the European Union.",
"The IMF said Thursday that it would continue to back Greece provided that Greece carried out the economic policy reforms agreed upon by the government.",
"In Washington, White House spokesman Jay Carney said U.S. officials are monitoring the situation in Greece closely but believe their European counterparts have the capacity to deal with it.",
"\"We consider it a headwind, if you will, in terms of the global economy and therefore the domestic economy,\" he said.",
"\"So far, Greece has made significant progress in terms of reforms.",
"But it is important that the Greek government carry on with the fiscal measures and reforms that are frequently under discussion with the EU and the IMF.\"",
"The Greek government's popularity has plunged recently, and anti-government protests turned violent Wednesday, as demonstrators threw gasoline bombs at the Ministry of Finance and police fired tear gas at protesters, police said.",
"On June 9, the Cabinet approved a tough five-year plan for 2011-15 and introduced a bill in Parliament to put the measures into effect.",
"The government has said that the passage of these additional measures is essential to Greece's securing the fifth portion of the first 110 billion euro ($158 billion) bailout package that Greece signed with the European Union and the International Monetary Fund to prevent the country from defaulting on its debts.",
"Journalist Elinda Labropoulou contributed to this report."

"Tokyo (CNN) -- Hong Kong suspended food and milk imports from five prefectures in Japan on Wednesday after radiation was detected in vegetable imports at the city's international airport.",
"The government banned products that include milk, milk powder, vegetables and fruits produced and harvested from Chiba, Tochigi, Ibaraki, Gunma and Fukushima Prefectures, according to the Hong Kong Food and Health Department.",
"Japanese meats and seafood imports have also been suspended \"unless there is official evidence stating that these products are in compliance with safety rules,\" the department said.",
"The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday issued an import alert preventing milk, milk products, fresh vegetables and fruit from any of four prefectures -- Fukushima, Ibaraki, Tochigi and Gunma -- near the Fukushima nuclear reactors from entering the country.",
"But shipments of spinach, milk and a leafy vegetable called kakina could \"test out\" and enter the U.S. food supply if shown to be safe, an FDA spokeswoman said.",
"Other foods from those prefectures will be diverted for testing, she added.",
"Japanese food imports make up less than 4% of food imported into the United States, the FDA says.",
"\"Let's say the contaminated spinach from Japan did make its way to the United States,\" posed CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta.",
"\"A person would have to eat the contaminated spinach from Japan every day for one year to get the same amount of radiation you would get from one CT (CAT) scan.\"",
"But the import bans are a part of a ripple effect stemming from a March 11 earthquake and subsequent tsunami that wreaked havoc on the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant's six reactors and led to the release of unknown quantities of radioactive vapors.",
"The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said three air monitors in California and one in Washington state have detected levels of radiation that were \"millions of times below levels of concern.\"",
"In Japan, that country's Health Ministry reported Tuesday finding radioactive materials at levels \"drastically exceeding legal limits\" in 11 types of vegetables grown in Fukushima prefecture, including broccoli and cabbage, according to Kyodo News Agency.",
"None of the vegetables have been shipped since Monday, it said.",
"The news agency, citing the ministry, said, \"If a person eats 100 grams (3 1/2 ounces) of the vegetable with the largest detected amount of radioactive materials for about 10 days, it would be equal to ingesting half the amount of radiation a person typically receives from the natural environment in a year.",
"Prime Minister Naoto Kan asked Ibaraki Prefecture to suspend shipments of raw milk and parsley, and the government of Fukushima Prefecture told residents not to eat leafy vegetables, Kyodo reported.",
"Japan's Consumer Affairs Agency listed specific export bans on food items from Ibaraki, Tochigi and Gunma Prefectures, but did not list similar restrictions on the same food items for domestic consumers in those areas.",
"The website of the Japanese prime minister's office noted that \"temporary consumption will not affect your health.\"",
"Meanwhile, countries across the region implemented safety measures in an effort to restrict potentially tainted imports.",
"Thailand's government is focusing on Japanese shipments of meat, milk, fish and seaweed.",
"A radiation physicist from the Office of Atoms for Peace said the agency will work with the country's health ministry to do random checks of imported food from Japan.",
"India has also ordered radiation tests of Japanese food at its ports and airports.",
"Only food originating from Japan after March 11 will be tested.",
"But the impact on Japanese food production and exports will largely depend on the types of radionuclides and the amount of radioactivity deposited where the food is produced or harvested.",
"Radioactive iodine is considered an \"immediate concern,\" but it has a relatively short half-life, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization and International Atomic Energy Agency.",
"But radioactive caesium has also been detected in Japanese food, which can linger for years and cause long-term problems for food production and human health, according to the agencies.",
"On Sunday, Japanese authorities slapped restrictions on milk and spinach that tested positive for radioactive cesium-137 and iodine-131 isotopes.",
"Iodine-131 is radioactive.",
"It collects in the human thyroid gland, which readily absorbs iodine, and could cause health problems, said Dr. James Cox, an oncology professor at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas.",
"In addition to the spinach and milk, very small amounts of radioactive iodine have been detected in tap water near the plant.",
"Cox, an expert on the effects of radiation on the survivors of Nagasaki and Hiroshima, said he believes the radiation levels measured in these products pose a \"nonexistent\" immediate risk to humans, and \"very low\" long-term risk.",
"Still, he concedes that \"radiation doses ingested through food is really very poorly understood.\"",
"\"Children, especially very young children, concentrate iodine in the thyroid, and their thyroid is more susceptible to the radiation,\" he noted.",
"The immediate health risks for adults, by contrast, are minimal.",
"\"I don't think you could eat enough spinach and you probably couldn't drink enough milk to have health risks,\" Cox added.",
"In the longer term, \"There is still a theoretical risk of development of cancer, 10, 20, 30 years later,\" he said.",
"But in the short term, radioactivity levels \"would have to be a factor of 10 greater to have any demonstrable health effects.\"",
"On Wednesday, Tokyo government officials advised residents not to give tap water to infants or use it in formula after tests at a purification plant detected higher levels of radioactive iodine.",
"The city's water agency said the spike was likely caused by problems at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, located 240 kilometers (150 miles) away."

"(CNN) -- Swedish authorities have scheduled a time to interrogate the founder and editor of whistle-blower website WikiLeaks.",

"They see an accomplished and beautiful woman betrayed by her husband's Twitter posts.",
"And she's pregnant? The details just get worse and worse.",
"Abedin and other political wives before her have been forced to face the public flogging of their husbands, heightened in this case by the technological evidence that Weiner left behind and by the helpful testimony of his correspondents.",
"Americans love to debate the role of the wronged political wife.",
"What will Hillary Clinton, Jenny Sanford, or Newt Gingrich's wives (pick one) do?",

"To which author Laura Munson says, \"Stop.\"",
"Stop calling these women victims.",
"Unless there are threats to her physical safety or financial security, only Abedin decides if she is a victim.",
"(And she's not talking publicly.)",
"When her own husband, suffering through a midlife crisis, threatened to break up their marriage to end his pain, Munson chose not to play the victim.",
"Instead she planned a summer of joy for herself and her two kids -- and her husband when he wanted to join them.",
"She gave him six months to work through his crisis.",
"How did she stop herself from pleading with him or simply dumping him just to get it over with?",
"How did she choose a third way?",
"Munson, author of the memoir \"This Is Not the Story You Think It Is,\" had recently committed to the end of suffering.",
"After years of writing novels that weren't published, the death of her father, and therapy, she decided that she -- not anyone else -- would decide her own happiness.",

"The same philosophy can apply to not-so-famous women facing infidelity or other crises that destroy their dreams and upend their lives.",
"These crises can be opportunities to find your true calling, says Susan Piver, author of \"The Wisdom of a Broken Heart.\"",

"In the fog of pain, people make rash decisions.",
"One of Munson's friends was so unhappy in her life that she decided she had to get out of her marriage.",
"She didn't realize she didn't really want out until she was gone.",
"You need to figure out what you want.",
"Focus on the present moment.",
"When the crazy thoughts are going through your head about who did what to who, and why didn't you say that perfect comeback line, Piver suggests taking out a piece of paper and writing down five things that you notice are actually happening around you.",
"They're usually pretty ordinary -- cars driving by, the dog barking, a child playing with dolls.",

"Write those observations down.",

"She thought deliberately about what she could do to make herself and her two children happy during their financially strapped summer in their Montana town.",
"It was often as simple as taking three deep breaths or walking down the block.",
"Sometimes she walked to a beautiful place or visited friends who helped keep the focus on herself, instead of trashing the husband.",
"She turned on the sprinklers and watched her kids get soaked.",
"She bought many tomatoes and canned tomato sauce.",

"Take some quiet time in prayer or meditation to get through other people's voices, and what the culture says about what your life should be like, to your essential truth.",
"\"The advice for anyone going through a trauma is to allow the sorrow and vision for what you thought life should be to dissolve and see what's left,\" says Piver.",
"\"You have all the knowledge you need to solve your problems inside of you.\"",
"Choose your own feelings.",
"It's incredibly hard to do, but Munson says it's essential.",
"After all, we only truly believe other people's mean comments about ourselves when we think they're true -- that we're unlovable or fat or nagging or mean-spirited.",

"Repeat after me: Those barbs are not necessarily true.",
"Do not play the victim.",
"You are only a victim in an emotional crisis if you choose to be.",
"\"When we get into reaction and escalating the drama, it only hurts us,\" says Munson.",

"As the corrections department had previously said in a statement, officials are not releasing Anthony's address \"or anything that might lead to the discovery of her location,\" said Plessinger.",
"This move is an effort to comply with a judge's order that Anthony's whereabouts should remain confidential for her own safety.",
"\"The court made a pretty strong statement, talking about how she's one of the most hated women in America,\" Plessinger said.",
"\"We want to make sure that she's treated like other offenders, in that if she violates these court orders, we will immediately notify the court.",
"But we will put security measures in place.\"",
"Those measures include not inputting Anthony's information into a public database, as is typically the case with offenders.",
"In addition, her probation officer will not be identified by name.",
"Under the terms of her sentence, Anthony must meet with her probation officer no later than the fifth day of each month.",
"She can't change her residence or employment and, as Plessinger said Thursday, her probation officer would have to OK a travel permit if Anthony wants to leave the county.",
"Her probation office is in Orange County, unless she makes a request that is granted to move elsewhere in Florida.",
"None of Anthony's attorneys was present when she met with the probation officer Wednesday, the state spokeswoman said.",
"In that meeting, the officer \"laid out for her, in detail, the conditions\" -- after which Anthony indicated \"she understood those conditions,\" said Plessinger.",
"Among other things, Anthony's sentence requires her to pay the state of Florida $20 per month toward the cost of supervision plus a 4% surcharge, unless the fees are waived.",
"During the period covered by the sentence, she will not be allowed to drink excessively.",
"She is also barred from any personal contact with the check-fraud victim for the duration of the probation period.",
"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.",
"They also argued that serving the probation sentence now would violate constitutional protections against having to serve a sentence twice for the same offense.",
"A Florida appeals court affirmed earlier this week that Anthony would have to serve the one-year probation sentence.",
"She cannot, the court ruled, \"take advantage\" of an administrative error to avoid serving the sentence, which was first imposed in 2010.",
"This backed up a ruling earlier this month by Orange County Chief Judge Belvin Perry Jr., who said Strickland's verbal order was binding and ordered Anthony to report for probation in Florida 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.",
"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.",
"CNN's Samuel Gardner III contributed to this report."

"(CNN) -- The U.S. State Department got personal in its complaints against the Syrian government Thursday, accusing it of a \"targeted, brutal attack\" on a popular Syrian political cartoonist, Ali Farzat.",
"Shortly after a cartoon by Farzat depicting Syrian President Bashar al-Assad hitching a ride with outgoing Libyan strongman Moammar Gadhafi began circulating in Syria, Farzat was reportedly kidnapped by masked men, beaten and thrown unconscious from a van onto a road in Damascus .",
"\"The (al-Assad) regime's thugs focused their attention on (Farzat's) hands, beating them furiously and breaking one of them -- a clear message that he should stop drawing,\" State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland wrote in an official statement.",
"The statement went on to name five other \"moderate activists\" that it said have been jailed for speaking out against the al-Assad regime.",
"\"While making empty promises about dialogue with the Syrian people, the Assad regime continues to carry out brutal attacks against peaceful Syrians trying to exercise their universal right to free expression.",
"We demand that the Assad regime immediately stop its campaign of terror through torture, illegal imprisonment, and murder,\" Nuland's statement continued.",
"Passers-by reportedly found the beaten 60-year-old cartoonist and took him to a hospital.",
"A photograph circulating Thursday on the internet showed Farzat with a bandage over his right eye, his face badly bruised, and heavy bandages wrapped around both hands.",
"Nuland's statement described Farzat as \"the most popular political cartoonist in the country,\" and reaction in Syria was swift to the attack on a man described on a website featuring his cartoons as having \"a pen of Damascus steel.\"",
"In a demonstration of solidarity, a number of Syrians on Facebook changed their profile pictures to that of the bruised and bloodied satirist.",
"Farzat is known for his caricatures lampooning figures such as Saddam Hussein, who threatened him with death before banning his work in Iraq, and Gadhafi of Libya, where his work is also banned."

"Jerusalem (CNN) -- Aya Abu Mouwais, a 3-year-old who lives in the West Bank, can barely walk or talk because of a failing kidney and liver.",
"For much of her life, the Palestinian child has needed dialysis to survive.",
"Thankfully, an Israeli man has been able to help her get the treatment she so desperately requires.",
"More than 500 times in the past two years, Yuval Roth and his volunteers have driven Aya and her mother roundtrip from a checkpoint near the West Bank border to Rambam Medical Center, which is an hour away in Haifa, Israel.",
"\"What Yuval has done, no one else has done,\" said Aya's mother, Suhair.",
"\"He is day by day helping us to get her to the hospital.",
"I'm not allowed to drive an Israeli car, so if not for Yuval, we wouldn't be able to transport her.",
"I thank him.\" Leaving the West Bank is the only way Aya's family can get dialysis.",
"For one thing, medical facilities are limited in the territory.",
"\"In the Palestinian Authority, it's very expensive to get health care, and most of the people cannot afford it,\" Roth said.",
"It's also expensive to make the trip to Israeli hospitals.",
"Although the Palestinian Authority allows sick children and adults to leave the West Bank for treatment, Palestinians are not allowed to drive past the checkpoints.",
"To get to Israeli hospitals, they'd have to take a taxi, which would cost at least $90 each way.",
"Fortunately, there is Roth and his organization, Derech Hachlama (\"On the Road to Recovery\").",
"Since 2006, Roth and his team of volunteers have been giving Palestinians a lifeline.",
"\"The volunteers are driving at least five days a week,\" said Roth, a 55-year-old carpenter and professional juggler from Pardes Hanna, Israel.",
"\"Some (drive) in the morning to drop off patients, and others come in the evening to take them back.",
"That makes the whole thing easy, since they can still go to work and don't have to spend the whole day.\"",
"For Roth, the transportation service is a way to recover from personal tragedy.",
"In 1993, his brother Udi was kidnapped and killed by members of Hamas.",
"After his loss, Roth found a way to channel his anger into peace.",
"\"I heard an interview on Israeli radio with a man who lost his son in the same way that I lost my brother,\" Roth said.",
"\"After the interview, I called him ... and he said he had an idea to establish a group to encourage dialogue between bereaved families from both sides, Israelis and Palestinians.\"",
"Roth joined the group, called Parents Circle - Families Forum, and befriended many Palestinians.",
"All shared a surprisingly common need: transportation access to Israeli health-care facilities.",
"\"One day, (a program participant) called and told me his brother might have a brain tumor.",
"He had an appointment at Rambam hospital but no way to go,\" Roth said.",
"\"He asked if I could drive him, and I agreed it would be no problem.\"",
"That first call for help was more than four years ago.",
"As word of Roth's generosity spread, transportation demands grew, and Roth began to recruit his friends as driver-volunteers.",
"Today, Roth's group has grown to 200 volunteers.",
"Transport coordination efforts are run entirely by Roth, who spends many hours on his cell phone inquiring about the location of volunteers and Palestinian families.",
"Each volunteer maintains his or her own vehicle, but Roth helps cover gasoline costs with donation money he has received.",
"Do you know a hero? Nominations are open for 2011 CNN Heroes .",
"Even though differences exist, including some language barriers, Roth believes that the program helps Israelis and Palestinians learn from and respect each other.",
"\"When we are coming to pick up the sick kids, the (Palestinian and Israeli) checkpoint managers help us a lot,\" Roth said.",
"\"It makes our life and their life a lot easier.",
"I think Palestinian families trust me also because I'm coming as one of them.",
"I feel like they are my family or my friends.\"",
"Roth's group has driven an estimated 90,000 kilometers (about 55,000 miles) in 2010 alone.",
"He says they have helped hundreds of Palestinians get access to health care.",

"(CNN) -- Instead of slathering on baby oil and baking in the sun until turning red as a tomato, more beachgoers are donning wide-brimmed hats, flowing tunics and hiding from ultraviolet rays under large umbrellas.",
"Friends Anne Botica, 27, and Monique Moore, 28, noticed this shift in sunbathing fashion trends during a trip to the beach two years ago.",
"\"Instead of tanning and trying to get as bronze as possible, people were being really smart about the sun and covering up in really cute, fashionable ways,\" says Moore, who co-founded a sun-blocking clothing company called Mott 50 with Botica in New York City last year.",
"New companies like Mott 50 are fulfilling people's needs to stay healthy and stylish.",
"Until a few years ago, those seeking special sun-blocking clothing could order apparel only from specialized catalogs.",
"The options were often limited to drab colors and basic cuts.",
"Today, new clothing lines have recognized shoppers' desires to buy outfits they can wear to parties and show off to friends.",
"\"Everything is style-driven and designed to incorporate the latest trends,\" says Melissa Marks, founder of Cabana Life, a sun-blocking clothing company she started in 2005 after she was diagnosed with skin cancer.",
"As the rate of skin cancer continues to rise -- with more than 2 million people diagnosed in the United States each year -- more Americans are seeking sun-safe products.",
"The list includes clothing that contains UPF (ultraviolet protection factor) values, which span from 15 to 50-plus.",
"The higher the value, the more the fabric absorbs UV rays and prevents them from hitting skin.",
"But consumers should not confuse UPF with SPF (sun protection factor) values that rate protection from ultraviolet-B rays in sunscreen because \"they don't necessarily match,\" says Vilma Cokkinides, an epidemiologist and director of research for the American Cancer Society in Atlanta.",
"Sleeves, shade your best bet for sun protection .",
"The UPF value is based on the color and weave of the fabric.",
"\"Shirts with tight weaves are much more protective than shirts with loose weaves,\" says Martin Weinstock, chief of dermatology at the VA Medical Center in Providence, Rhode Island.",
"While darker hues are more protective, clothing companies have created bright, popping colors that are UPF-approved and in style this summer.",
"Some lines sell apparel that covers most of the skin, such as dresses with long sleeves and swim shorts that extend past the knee.",
"Mott 50 caters to people who want to protect themselves and still have fun in the sun.",
"\"We sort of say, 'Go out, wear your swim suit, your bikini, get the color that you want and desire, but ... when you're covering up and you're not looking to get color, then wear something that is certified with the UVA and UVB protection,' \" Moore said.",
"Moore's business partner Botica has a family history of skin cancer.",
"She said women concerned about wrinkles and the sun's effect on aging tend to buy their products, including women in their 20s and 30s.",
"Other customers have been diagnosed with skin cancer and need clothing to protect themselves from UVA and UVB rays.",
"Some purchase items like Henley shirts and colorful sundresses because they think they're \"cute,\" Moore said.",
"\"The fact that it has skin protection is an added value.\"",
"For Marks, designing trendy skin-protective clothing is the main goal.",
"Marks was a merchandise expert for fashion magazines such as Vogue, Vanity Fair and Seventeen before she was diagnosed with malignant melanoma at age 26.",
"At the time, her dermatologist said she needed to wear skin-protective clothing -- something Marks was unfamiliar with.",
"\"Here I am in the fashion world, I had never heard such a thing,\" she said.",
"New melanoma drug helps patients .",
"When she started researching UPF clothing, she was disappointed by what was on the market.",
"\"I thought, 'OK, no wonder I had never heard about it, because it's not something me or any of my friends would want to put on and march around wearing,' \" Marks said.",
"\"It was fluorescent, it was synthetic, and it was not going with a pair of stilettos.\"",
"Marks, who is now a cancer survivor, said she was inspired to design clothing that \"combined fashion with function\" and would compete on the same floor as designer brands.",
"Since officially launching in 2005, she has accomplished that goal -- selling Cabana Life hats, beach cover-ups and children's swimwear at Saks Fifth Avenue and resorts like the Four Seasons and The Breakers.",
"Celebrities such as Madonna, Gwyneth Paltrow and Lisa Kudrow have also supported her products.",
"\"When we hit the scene in 2005, I said UV protection in clothing, and I felt like we had to explain it to everyone,\" Marks said.",
"\"Over the course of the time since we started the company, more and more people are talking about it, understanding it.\"",
"Over the past five years, Julie Mahoney from Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey, has purchased Cabana Life products for herself and children ages 3 and younger.",
"\"My father had gotten skin cancer years ago, and I'm Irish with very fair skin, so I just decided it was time to be a little more responsible, but also I wanted to wear cute things,\" she said.",
"Five ways to avoid getting a deep-fried sunburn .",
"While some of the clothes tend to be on the expensive side -- with prices ranging from $48 for a girl's pink terry cover-up to $75 for a woman's coral tunic dress -- Mahoney said they're \"well worth the investment.\"",
"Her favorite item?",
"Rash guard bathing suits for children that have long sleeves, boy shorts and come in bright colors and aquatic designs.",
"\"They look cute, the kids love wearing them, and they're also great with the sun protection,\" she said.",
"Michael Hubsmith, executive vice president of Coolibar, said he has noticed an increase in the level of awareness about sun-blocking clothing since Coolibar started in 2003 in Minneapolis.",
"Modeled after popular Australian skin-protective clothing, all Coolibar products have a UPF value of 50-plus that is guaranteed to last the life of the garment.",
"Unlike some companies, Coolibar doesn't sell products like bikinis that expose a large portion of the body to sun.",
"\"If you don't cover the skin, then those little triangles of UPF 50-plus in your bikini aren't really going to do anything for you,\" Hubsmith said.",
"While wearing a bathing suit may not comply with sun-blocking practices, Marks said companies have to be realistic about people's clothing choices.",
"\"If I had a sun suit that covered me from head to toe and zipped up over every part of my body, yes, it would be extremely effective, but it wouldn't be effective because I wouldn't put it on,\" she said.",
"Hubsmith also recognizes the need to make UPF clothing \"as fashionable as it can be.\"",
"\"People that need UV protection also want to feel like they're included in the crowd -- that the style and clothing they're wearing is not going to single them out as having some kind of a problem with the sun,\" he said.",
"Why not to fry your skin . About one in five Americans develop skin cancer, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation.",
"Besides making smart clothing choices, experts say people can protect themselves from harmful rays by wearing sunscreen and minimizing the time spent outdoors between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV rays are the most intense.",
"But people shouldn't be afraid to venture outside, said Weinstock, the Providence VA Medical Center chief of dermatology.",
"\"It's important for people to be physically active, which usually means being physically active outdoors,\" he said.",
"\"People just need to be sensible.",
"They need to take precautions to minimize any damage to their skin.\""

"(CNN) -- Syrian opposition leaders have dubbed Friday's planned demonstrations \"Friday of Saleh al-Ali,\" a prominent Alawite who commanded one of the first rebellions against the French mandate of Syria in the early part of the 20th century.",
"Some opposition activists said they hope the name prompts the powerful minority ruling class, which is composed primarily of Alawites, to join the demonstrations demanding the fall of the regime.",
"They also say the name sends the message that their demands are not directed against Alawites, but against the regime.",
"Government opponents accuse the regime of identifying them as an Islamist movement, which they deny.",
"The plans came as Syrian refugees continued Thursday to flee across the Turkish border to escape violence, as world powers amplified their outrage over the Damascus regime's tough crackdown on peaceful demonstrators.",
"The number of Syrian refugees now in Turkey stands at 8,904, Turkish emergency officials said.",
"Their report comes a day after Turkish government officials, including Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, met with a special Syrian envoy to help stem the growing tide of refugees.",
"Violence in the country and an offensive in and around the town of Jisr al-Shugur spurred thousands of people to make their way to the border region, and Turkish officials are worried that the crisis could deteriorate and destabilize the area.",
"Davutoglu met Thursday with Syrian envoy Hasan Turkmani, who also sat down on Wednesday with Erdogan.",
"The foreign minister briefed the news media in Ankara about the border crisis, the Turkish meeting with the Syrian envoy, and his visit with Syrian refugees on Wednesday in the Turkish city of Hatay.",
"\"It was a meeting that was very comprehensive in which everything was openly discussed, based on mutual confidence and a joint understanding of sharing matters,\" Davutoglu said of the meeting with Turkmani and his delegation.",
"Calling for a \"strong, stable and prosperous Syria,\" Davutoglu urged the timely development of a \"comprehensive reform process\" there and an end to the discord in Syria.",
"\"I hope the positive scenario of introducing reforms and eliminating violence will take place,\" he said.",
"\"I don't even want to think about the other scenario.\"",
"He said Turkey will provide humanitarian help to Syrians massed on the Syrian side of the border.",
"Many Syrians who have fled their homes haven't crossed into Turkey and have instead lived near the border in grim conditions.",
"\"Turkey will never refrain from any help for Syria,\" Davutoglu said.",
"On Wednesday, the U.N. human rights office called for \"a thorough probe into the allegations of widespread abuses committed by Syrian authorities during their violent crackdown.\"",
"\"The most egregious reports concern the use of live ammunition against unarmed civilians, including from snipers positioned on rooftops of public buildings, and the deployment of tanks in areas densely populated by civilians,\" according to a preliminary report prepared by the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights.",
"\"As of mid-June, the number of those killed during such incidents is believed to have exceeded 1,100 persons, many of them unarmed civilians; among them were women and children,\" it said, according to a U.N. statement.",
"The human rights office said reports indicate that up to 10,000 people have been detained over three months, and security forces \"have perpetrated acts of torture and other cruel and inhuman treatment against detainees, resulting in death in custody in some cases.\"",
"The report, which covers the period from March 15 to Wednesday, is based on data from U.N. agencies, human rights activists, a small number of victims and witnesses, and various other groups.",
"The human rights office said it had to rely on these sources because it hasn't been able to get its own staffers into Syria.",
"There also have been reports that the rights of people to freedom \"of assembly, expression, and movement\" and to get food and health care have been violated.",
"\"The material currently before the high commissioner is a matter of grave concern and reflects a dire human rights situation in the Syrian Arab Republic,\" the report said.",
"\"The alleged breaches of the most fundamental rights on such a broad scale require thorough investigation and, with respect to the perpetrators, full accountability.\"",
"Navi Pillay, the high commissioner for human rights, urged Syria \"to grant access to the country for the fact-finding mission established by the U.N. Human Rights Council.\"",
"More than 50 nations issued a tough statement on human rights abuses in Syria at the U.N. Human Rights Council on Wednesday, and the U.S. State Department underscored the thrust of the message Thursday.",
"\"The international community has been shocked by the horrific reports of torture and arbitrary arrests, and widespread use of violence against peaceful protesters,\" said State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland.",

"(CNN) -- Manchester City's pursuit of Arsenal midfielder Samir Nasri appears to be coming to an end after the two clubs agreed a fee for the French international.",
"Nasri had just one year remaining on his Arsenal contract and City's offer, believed to be in the region of $32 million, has persuaded the London club to cash in, despite manager Arsene Wenger's reluctance to lose the player he signed from Marseille in 2008.",
"The transfer was thought to have hit a stumbling block last week, resulting in Nasri appearing for Arsenal in their 2-0 home defeat by Liverpool on Saturday.",
"What now for Arsenal and Fabregas?",
"However, Nasri has been left out of Arsenal's squad for the second leg of their Champions League qualifier against Udinese, meaning he will not be cup-tied for City's own Champions League campaign.",
"The move, which is now dependent on Nasri passing his medical, will see the 24-year-old become the second player to join City from Arsenal since the end of last season, following defender Gael Clichy's switch, while Kolo Toure and Emmanuel Adebayor have also made the same move over the last two years.",
"Nasri follows captain Cesc Fabregas, who completed his transfer to Barcelona last week, out of the Emirates exit door, leaving Wenger with a massive influx of money available to him to reinforce his Arsenal squad by the close of the transfer window on August 31.",
"And Fabregas used his personal Twitter account to say: \"Good luck to my friend Nasri at his new club.",
"One of the best players around.\"",
"The Gunners have had a shaky start to the English Premier League season, with just one point and no goals from their opening two matches, leaving Wenger under more pressure than he has ever faced since becoming Arsenal manager 15 years ago.",
"\"The summer was difficult because we had Fabregas and Nasri on permanent transfer negotiations and that is draining in the end,\" Wenger told the official Arsenal website.",
"\"We lost two great players and that's sad, but at some stage it has to be over because we want to focus on the future.",
"\"Overall what you do not want is to have players who play and think they go the next morning, that is not ideal.",
"You want players who are completely committed to the long term,\" he added.",
"Wenger must also take his depleted squad to Italy for Wednesday's crucial match against Udinese, with the Londoners holding a slender 1-0 advantage from the first leg.",
"However, UEFA have confirmed that Wenger will be allowed to sit on the bench for the match after Arsenal appealed against a two-match touchline ban for breaking the terms of his one-match suspension during the first leg against Udinese.",
"In other transfer news, Premier League side Blackburn Rovers have completed their fourth signing of the transfer window, with 25-year-old Montenegro winger Simon Vukcevic joining from Sporting Lisbon on a three-year contract for a fee of $3m."

"(CNN) -- Casey Anthony's defense team was expected to call more witnesses Friday, a day after presenting testimony that seemed to try to create doubts about forensic evidence presented earlier in the case.",
"On Thursday, the first day the defense began calling witness, Anthony's attorney Jose Baez called several to testify about the evidence.",
"Two of them were FBI examiner Heather Seubert and Orange County, Florida, Sheriff's Office crime scene technician Gerardo Bloise who said that testing found no blood on any of Anthony's clothes, in her car trunk or in the interior of the car.",
"Prosecutors allege that Anthony, 25, killed Caylee in 2008 by using chloroform on her and putting duct tape over her nose and mouth.",
"They allege she then put the little girl's body in black garbage bags and stored it in her trunk before dumping it in woods near her home.",
"Caylee's skeletal remains were found December 11, 2008.",
"Although she was last seen June 16 of that year, her disappearance was not reported until July 15, after Anthony's mother demanded answers from her daughter about Caylee's whereabouts.",
"Anthony faces seven counts in Caylee's death, including first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse and misleading investigators.",
"If convicted, she could face the death penalty.",
"She has pleaded not guilty, and her defense attorney has said that when all the facts are known, his client's innocence will become clear.",
"The defense has said Caylee was not killed but rather drowned in the family pool June 16.",
"Baez told jurors in his opening statements that Anthony and her father, George Anthony, panicked when they discovered the body and covered up her death.",
"George Anthony rejected that scenario in his testimony the first week of the trial.",
"Bloise discussed the execution of a search warrant at the Anthony home on August 6, 2008, and his duties, which were to examine the clothing in Anthony's closet with an alternative light source for any stains.",
"Bloise testified that no stains were found on the pants Anthony wore June 16, 2008, the day Caylee was last seen.",
"However, he acknowledged to prosecutor Linda Drane Burdick on cross-examination that Anthony's mother, Cindy, told authorities she had washed the pants after that day.",
"Seubert, who was a forensic DNA examiner for the FBI in 2008, told jurors in the Orlando courtroom that testing showed an indication of possible female DNA on a shovel.",
"Previously, the Anthonys' next-door neighbor, Brian Burner, testified that Anthony asked to borrow the shovel from him June 18, 2008, saying she wanted to dig up a bamboo root.",
"Burner said she returned the shovel shortly afterward.",
"However, Seubert said the amount on the shovel was so small she could draw no scientific conclusions from it.",
"Testing showed no blood present in Casey Anthony's trunk, she said.",
"\"If a method is used to kill someone that doesn't involve bloodshed, then the absence of blood doesn't really say it didn't happen, correct?\"",
"prosecutor Jeff Ashton asked Seubert.",
"\"Correct,\" she replied.",
"\"I can't speak to whether it happened or not.\"",
"But she told Baez that as fluids leave the body during decomposition, it is likely that blood could be among them -- if there is a hole in the plastic bag holding a body, for instance.",
"Seubert also tested three pieces of duct tape found at the scene where Caylee's remains were recovered, two of them covering the mouth portion of her remains.",
"She testified that a DNA profile generated on the outside of the tape matched another FBI forensic examiner, Lorie Gottesman.",
"Testing on the inside of the tape was inconclusive, but a possible indication of DNA there did not appear to match Caylee, Casey Anthony or George Anthony, she said.",
"Outdoor elements such as sunshine and water can degrade DNA, she said.",
"Also testifying Thursday was Ronald Murdock, a supervisor in the Orange County Sheriff's Office forensics unit.",
"Murdock testified that a piece of cardboard with a heart-shaped sticker on it was found about 30 feet from where Caylee's skull was discovered.",
"An FBI technician previously testified that heart-shaped adhesive was seen on the duct tape covering the mouth portion of the remains.",
"Sheets of heart-shaped stickers have been introduced into evidence after being found at the Anthony home, but FBI analysis showed that the sticker found near the remains did not match those taken from the home.",
"Gottesman testified that she examined the duct tape for any heart-shaped sticker residue but was unable to see it, even using specialized tools.",
"She said she had no idea how her DNA wound up on the duct tape.",

"Moscow (CNN) -- Officials searched for answers Tuesday after a Russian jetliner made a premature descent and burst into flames in the country's northwest, killing 44 people and injuring eight others.",
"\"I do not want to prejudge the investigation and all that but preliminary information suggests an obvious pilot error in poor weather conditions,\" said Russian Deputy Prime Minister Sergei Ivanov, the state-run RIA-Novosti news agency reported.",
"Investigators recovered the flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder from the site of the crash, according to the Investigative Committee probing the crash.",
"The cause of the premature descent is being investigated by the Inter-State Aviation Committee and the so-called black boxes will be recovered and sent to Moscow for deciphering, said Russian Deputy Transport Minister Valery Okulov on Russian state TV.",
"The recorders will help authorities piece together the final minutes of the flight and possibly tell investigators what caused the plane to go down.",
"\"Seems that he had been visually looking for the runway but couldn't see it,\" Ivanov said.",
"The dead included 36 Russians, four people with joint U.S.-Russian citizenship, a Swede, a Dutchman and two Ukrainians, according to the Transport Ministry.",
"Of the injured, five are in critical condition, according to regional authorities in Petrozavodsk.",
"Some will be transported to Moscow for medical treatment.",
"President Dmitry Medvedev expressed his condolences in the aftermath and has sent Transport Minister Igor Levitin to the scene on a fact-finding mission.",
"The families of the dead will receive 1 million rubles ($35,500), while the families of the injured will be compensated 500,000 rubles ($17,750), according to the authorities.",
"The jet with 43 passengers and a crew of nine took off Monday night from Moscow for Petrozavodsk, about 950 kilometers (600 miles) to the north.",

"\"The first thing that the plane had contact with was a pine tree of about 15 meters high,\" said Alexander Neradko, head of the Russian Federal Aviation Agency on Russian state TV.",
"\"This proves that the plane didn't break in mid-air but that all those destructions were inflicted to it as a result of that contact,\" he said.",
"Nearly 140 rescue workers, doctors and police officers were on the scene before dawn Tuesday.",

"New York's well-known Rikers Island jail complex has been featured in films, television shows and documentaries, but life on the other side of the bars appears less than glamorous.",
"A number of well-known or infamous inmates have been at least briefly incarcerated there, from the late Sex Pistols bassist Sid Vicious to, more recently, former NFL receiver Plaxico Burress and rapper Lil' Wayne.",
"However, many celebrities find the facilities in the Rikers Island complex a far cry from the surroundings they may be used to.",
"International Monetary Fund head Dominique Strauss-Kahn is the latest well-known inmate at Rikers Island.",
"He was transferred there on Monday after a Manhattan Criminal Court judge refused to grant him bail.",
"Strauss-Kahn faces multiple charges stemming from an alleged sexual assault of a housekeeping employee at New York's Sofitel hotel.",
"Rikers Island, actually a complex of 10 different units located in the New York borough of Queens, dates to the 1930s, when the first facility -- the James A. Thomas Center, formerly known as the Rikers Island Penitentiary -- opened, according to the New York Department of Correction.",
"Once a 90-acre site, Rikers Island was enlarged to more than 400 acres using sanitary landfill, according to the department's website.",
"It is an actual island, accessible only by a bridge from Queens, and its jails have a combined capacity of nearly 17,000 inmates.",
"However, Strauss-Kahn is in protective custody, meaning he is kept away from the general population because of his status as a high-profile inmate, said a department spokesman who asked not to be named.",
"He is in Rikers Island's West Facility, part of which is used to house inmates with contagious diseases, but other parts are used for inmates in protective custody, the spokesman said.",
"Strauss-Kahn is awakened at 6 a.m. each day in his 11-by-13-foot cell, the spokesman said.",
"He will not have interaction or contact with other inmates, and \"his cell is the only one occupied on that side of the unit.\"",
"When he is taken out of his cell for his daily hour of recreation or taken to the visiting area to receive visitors, he will be accompanied by a corrections officer and a captain, the spokesman said.",
"Inmates travel outside their cells one at a time, meaning he will have no opportunity to encounter other inmates.",
"The spokesman said Monday that Strauss-Kahn will be allowed to leave his cell periodically and walk around his housing area corridor, where he can watch television -- but he still won't come into contact with anyone else.",
"Tuesday's menu for inmates included an apple, banana, cereal, toast, milk and coffee or tea for breakfast; vegetable chili, rice, green beans, carrot and celery salad and wheat bread for lunch; and veal patties, noodles, steamed cabbage, whole wheat bread, a piece of fruit and tea or a fruit drink for dinner.",
"Inmates and others can deposit money into their commissary accounts, which can be used to purchase toiletries, snacks and haircuts, as well as buy daily phone calls, all of which are monitored and recorded, according to the department.",
"Strauss-Kahn will be allowed three visits a week, not counting his attorney or outside doctor, if he has one, the spokesman said.",

"(CNN) -- Everyone on the East Coast knew Thursday that monstrous Irene, energizing over bathtub-warm ocean waters, was heading toward them, posing the biggest hurricane threat to the United States in six years.",
"What they did not know was the exact path of the storm.",
"So people along a 700-mile stretch of the Atlantic Seaboard were, as North Carolina Gov.",
"Bev Perdue put it, preparing for the worst and praying for the best.",
"There was even a possibility that the storm, which could reach Category 4 status, could slam into Manhattan, causing concerns about soaring skyscrapers and underground tunnels.",
"A state of emergency has already been declared in Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Delaware, Connecticut and parts of North Carolina in anticipation of Irene.",
"Fears were perhaps greatest in North Carolina and Virginia and on the slivers of islands that extend off those coastlines, which could start feeling Irene's punch by Friday evening.",
"On North Carolina's Ocracoke, there is only one way off the island -- by ferry.",
"The county ordered tourists and residents to evacuate.",
"Bobby Hill, the emergency manager for the North Carolina Ferry Division, said more than 1,500 people left Wednesday.",
"The ferries are operating all day Thursday, he said, but the last chance for anyone to get off the isolated, skinny island sticking out in the Atlantic, is one boat Friday morning.",
"After that, well, you are out of options.",
"Clayton Gaskill was one of about 100 Ocracoke residents still around Thursday night.",

"Farther north in Lewes, Delaware, Georgia Tugend is planning to ride out the storm along with her husband, Dave, and dog, Barkley.",

"\"Temporary shelters will not take the dog, and we feel that our house is elevated enough that we would avoid any possible storm surge.\"",

"As for himself, Lynch said he would probably \"go inland a little bit\" and seek shelter with his 90-year-old mother if the storm becomes severe enough.",
"Lynch's wife stocked up extra milk, water and batteries.",
"Some described their preparations as \"minimal,\" such as Nathan Nickerson in Cape Cod, Massachusetts.",
"But \"I've got my chainsaw sharpened, and I've got my tractor ready to clear the way\" if there are a lot of downed trees, he said.",

"(CNN) -- Applauding budget-cutting measures taken and proposed by Greece's government in the face of intense public pressure, European finance ministers announced Monday that Athens is on track to receive fresh loans in mid-July.",
"\"The Greek authorities are embarking on a significant and necessary adjustment effort,\" said members of the Eurogroup, which consists of officials from countries in the Euro economic zone, in a statement.",
"\"Ministers recognized the considerable progress achieved by the Greek authorities over the last year (and) are also conscious of the serious challenges that Greek citizens are facing in these difficult times.\"",
"No specifics were given on the extent or parameters of the loans, which would be the second round in the bailout aimed at keeping Greece solvent -- and preventing its economic crisis from worsening and spreading through Europe and beyond.",
"While Athens is on track for the new loans, the ministers said they were contingent on completing a planned \"compliance report,\" finalizing details through ongoing negotiations with European officials and taking other steps, including continuing austerity measures.",
"\"This, together with the passing of key laws on the fiscal strategy and privatization by the Greek parliament, will pave the way for the next disbursement (of loans),\" the finance ministers said.",
"The Eurogroup also said \"voluntary roll-overs of existing Greek debt\" would be permitted under the strict parameters of its bailout plan.",
"The ministers explained the relaxed move was needed given that Athens likely won't get access to private market funds until early next year.",
"This statement came a day after Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou called for lawmakers to back his latest round of budget-cutting measures, telling them, \"The government must stop spending more than it takes in.\"",
"He's fighting to stay in power in the face of weeks of protests against plans for measures to bring down the country's budget deficit and get a second international bailout.",
"He reshuffled his Cabinet on Friday and is seeking a vote of confidence in his new ministers as his party clings to a wafer-thin majority in parliament.",
"Two days after his appointment as finance minister, Evangelos Venizelos attended talks Sunday on a second economic bailout package for his debt-strapped country as part of a two-day meeting on Europe's economic outlook in Luxembourg.",
"The former defense minister also took over the post of deputy prime minister.",
"The Greek bailout tops the agenda of the meeting of the Eurogroup and Economic and Finance Ministers Council, which representatives of the International Monetary Fund will also attend, according to an EU news release.",
"The IMF is contributing to the bailouts of European Union member countries.",
"IMF staff members will present their assessment of Europe's economy.",
"They and the finance ministers will examine existing bailouts for Ireland and Portugal, as well as the economic progress in those countries.",
"Ireland is poised to meet proposed austerity conditions for the second quarter, according to the EU, and has received second-quarter disbursements.",
"Portugal has met requirements for the first payments of its bailout package.",
"The crisis raises concerns for Europe's currency, the euro.",
"A default on its debts by Greece, or another struggling nation such as Portugal or Ireland, could adversely affect the world economy.",
"The harsh reforms designed to help reduce Greece's enormous budget deficit have so far led to tax hikes and public-sector job losses alongside already record-high unemployment.",
"There are fears that efforts to restructure Greece's debt could send shock waves through Europe's banking sector and spark investor panic similar to that in the 2008 collapse of Lehman Brothers, the U.S.-based global investment bank.",
"Venizelos addressed the Greek nation Friday, urging consensus in solving the crisis.",
"\"Our priority is the viability and sustainability of the public debt,\" he said.",
"\"There is no disagreement on this issue.\"",
"Papandreou faces opposition from his party over the austerity measures needed to secure an additional bailout package.",
"The IMF said Thursday that it would continue to back Greece provided that Greece carried out the economic policy reforms agreed upon by the government.",
"The Greek government's popularity has plunged recently, and anti-government protests turned violent Wednesday, as demonstrators threw gasoline bombs at the finance ministry and police fired tear gas at protesters, police said.",
"On June 9, the Cabinet approved a tough five-year plan for 2011-15 and introduced a bill in Parliament to put austerity measures into effect.",
"The latest measures include further cuts in public spending, more tax increases and the faster privatization of state-held assets, including utilities, ports and airports.",
"The government proposes reducing the public-sector workforce by 150,000; workers will also face changes in working hours, practices and wages.",
"The plan also sets out changes to social benefits, including pensions and unemployment aid.",
"According to the finance ministry, these measures will help achieve 28.3 billion euros ($40.5 billion) in cuts from 2012 to 2015, and shrink Greece's public deficit to less than 3% of gross domestic product, in accordance with the EU target.",
"The government has said the passage of these additional measures is essential to Greece's securing the fifth portion of the first 110 billion euro ($158 billion) bailout package that Greece signed with the European Union and the International Monetary Fund to prevent the country from defaulting on its debts.",
"CNN's Diana Magnay and Ben Brumfield and journalist Elinda Labropoulou contributed to this report."

"Paris (CNN) -- A decree from the early 1990s, reimplemented by French regulators, is putting an end to French television and radio announcers naming social networking sites on air except for news purposes.",
"The decree banned \"clandestine advertising\": the promotion of a brand outside the boundaries of recognized publicity avenues.",
"The reimplementation of the ruling by France's Superior Audiovisual Council means that French programs will no longer be able to urge their viewers or listeners to follow them on specific sites, such as Twitter, as has become the norm in worldwide broadcasting.",
"The controversy began when an unnamed French TV channel approached the council to ask whether, under this decree, they had the right to direct viewers to social sites.",
"Christine Kelly, spokeswoman for the council explained: \"Facebook and Twitter are commercial brands like Coca-Cola or L'Oreal or any other.",
"There are many social networking sites on many topics -- cooking, animals -- why should we mention one and not others?\"",
"From now on news anchors will be able to give only vague instructions as to where to find information online, such as \"follow us on social networking sites.\"",
"French bloggers have been up in arms on Twitter and some have even composed tongue-in-cheek ways to get round the ban.",
"One suggested: \"find live coverage of the trial on our thread on the platform which spreads messages of 140 characters\" French commentators have been speculating on the real roots of this regulation.",
"Matthew Fraser, a social networking expert and author of \"Throwing Sheep in the Boardroom,\" a book looking at the online social media revolution, believes the ban could be a sign of defiance against Anglo-Saxon cultural domination.",
"\"In my mind,\" he said, \"if it had been a French social networking site then nobody would have wanted it to be regulated, but because these sites symbolize the United States, regulation is there.\"",
"This is not the first time anglicized, Internet-related vocabulary has been banned in France.",
"In 2003 the use of the word \"e-mail\" was forbidden in all government literature.",
"This was due to the Toubon law, which tries to protect the purity of the French language from anglicized words and phrases.",
"This time, however, the Superior Audiovisual Council insists that the ban is in no way linked to language purity.",
"\"It's not at all related. It's true that we are very attached to the French language and defend it a lot, but ... this is simply about reapplying existing regulations,\" Kelly said.",
"The council's decision did not cause much of a debate in the French media.",
"Fraser believes that unlike cheese or wine there were no French interests involved and the French are simply used to regulation.",
"\"It doesn't faze them because it's part of their culture,\" he said.",
"Kelly emphasized the cultural differences that need to be taken in to account: \"We have many, many rules which do not exist elsewhere.",
"There is a very different context for this from one country to another.",
"In the U.S., for example there are advertisements on TV every five minutes, whereas in France its more like every 20 minutes.\"",
"She added that, similarly, in the United States product placement is commonplace, but it is forbidden in France.",
"Many are struck by the bizarre timing of the ban as it comes on the heels of the e-G8, an internet summit in Paris at which President Nicolas Sarkozy met with Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg."

"Cairo (CNN) -- It's been more than four months since longtime Egyptian dictator Hosni Mubarak was forced out by his people in largely peaceful mass protests that lasted 18 days.",
"The opposition activists who celebrated in the streets after Mubarak stepped down had hoped that tangible changes would follow soon after their Tahrir Square victory.",
"It had not even taken three weeks to rid the country of an autocratic president who had ruled with an iron fist for three decades.",
"Why, then, is it taking so long to achieve further progress?",
"\"The people who went to Tahrir were fed up with corruption, with the lack of freedom, the social injustice and police brutality,\" said Amr Khodeir, a 27-year old accountant who camped out with fellow revolutionaries in the square.",
"\"We thought we would feel the change once Mubarak and his men were no longer in power.\"",
"But four months on, little has changed on the ground.",
"With parliamentary elections planned for September and the government in transition, the nation's economic outlook is as bleak as ever.",
"The country's long-detested police force, which deserted the streets during the uprising, has been hesitant to return and face the wrath of a now-emboldened and angry public.",
"This has contributed to a security vacuum that has led to increased crime, thuggery and a spate of sectarian violence.",
"Yet protesters still face the prospect of detention and possible mistreatment, human rights activists say.",
"Many Egyptians feel that the revolution is incomplete as they wait for Mubarak and members of his former administration to be brought to justice.",
"They wonder why the Supreme Military Council, now in control, has not acted against former regime members to show its commitment to change.",
"Trials of the former ministers -- facing charges ranging from misuse of public funds to ordering the killing of protesters --- have been postponed several times.",
"Mubarak himself has so far escaped justice, although he is under arrest in his hospital room in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el Sheikh and has been barred from leaving the country.",
"\"Egyptians too are dismayed that the ousted president's loyalists were given ample time to hide their assets,\" Asmaa Mahfouz, a founding member of the April 6 youth movement, recently told a Cairo gathering.",
"Some Facebook users ask why the Supreme Military Council and the transitional government have taken to so long to put Parliamentary Speaker Fathy Surour, Mubarak's chief of staff Zakaria Azmy and National Democratic Party Secretary General Safwat el Sherif behind bars.",
"There has been no official response.",
"Members of the Mubarak's ruling National Democratic Party still hold key positions in state institutions.",
"\"Whenever one NDP member is forced out by angry protesters, he or she is almost immediately replaced by another Mubarak loyalist,\" said Najlaa Abdel Hafez, a journalist working for the state-sponsored Al Ahram newspaper.",
"At Egypt's state TV, where I worked until quitting February 3 in protest of the uprising coverage, the same heads of channels and senior editors who described revolutionaries as traitors and foreign agents during that period are still in charge .",
"\"Nothing has changed,\" said Ahmed Sherif, a news editor with the main Arabic channel.",
"\"In fact, there is greater control now than there was during the Mubarak era.",
"All scripts are revised by senior editorial staff, and any news item related to the armed forces has to be approved by the Morale Affairs Department before it is aired or published.\"",
"In recent weeks, six journalists were summoned by the military prosecutor for questioning after publicly criticizing the military on television talk shows.",
"Among them was Hossam Hamalawy, who had urged that members of the armed forces be held accountable for any wrongdoing, saying that no one is above the law.",
"Blogger Michael Nabil was sentenced to three years in prison by a military court for criticizing the army.",
"The New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists, which promotes press freedom, has said that such actions were meant \"to create a climate of fear and to intimidate journalists.\"",
"In a more shocking development just weeks ago, a young reporter was sexually assaulted while covering a Friday rally in Tahrir Square.",
"The attack was front-page news, and all the local dailies carried a picture of the reporter in apparent shock after her ordeal.",
"In a conservative, predominantly Muslim society where a girl's chastity is closely linked to family honor, it is rare for such photographs to be displayed publicly for fear they may sully a girl's reputation and stigmatize her for life.",
"\"The decision by local media editors to brazenly show the pictures was a clear message to deter female protesters from joining their male counterparts in Tahrir Square in future,\" businessman Medhat Fawzi suggested.",
"There also have been reports of brutality against Tahrir Square protesters arrested since Mubarak's fall from power.",
"Mona Seif, a young activist who has made it her mission to document rights abuses by the armed forces, says one group of detainees was subjected to torture, including electric shocks, at the hands of the military March 9.",
"In an earlier incident, on February 26, opposition activist Mohamed Moussa alleges that he and fellow protesters were relentlessly beaten and kicked while in detention, allowed a brief respite only when they followed orders to chant \"Long live Hosni Mubarak.\"",
"As the elections draw nearer, many are left wondering whether the military rulers will be willing to cede power to a civil government.",
"Ambassador Mohamed Rifaah, former official spokesman for the Grand Sheikh of Al Azhar, Egypt's highest religious authority, is one of the skeptics.",
"\"Egypt has been ruled by the military for 60 years,\" he said.",

"Kabul, Afghanistan (CNN) -- Coalition forces in Afghanistan have killed the Taliban insurgents responsible for the downing of a helicopter that left 38 U.S. and Afghan personnel dead, the commander of U.S. forces there and NATO announced Wednesday.",
"A precision airstrike killed Mullah Mohibullah -- a Taliban leader -- and the insurgent who fired what's believed to be the rocket-propelled grenade that brought down the helicopter, according to Gen. John Allen, the commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan.",
"Several of their Taliban associates were also killed, NATO's International Security Assistance Force said.",
"\"This does not ease our loss, but we must and we will continue to relentlessly pursue the enemy,\" Allen told Pentagon reporters assembled for a video news conference Wednesday.",

"The Pentagon will put the Navy SEAL death toll in the helicopter downing at 17, according to two Defense Department officials.",
"Originally, Pentagon sources told the news media that 22 SEALs were killed.",
"Mohibullah was a key facilitator in an insurgent attack cell led by Din Mohammad, a Taliban leader killed in a previous Special Operations mission, Allen said.",
"Mohibullah had as many as 12 Taliban fighters under his command, including potential suicide bombers.",

"Pentagon spokesman Col. David Lapan said the names, ages, hometowns and military units of the slain Americans will be released within the next 24 hours.",
"He said the public announcement has been delayed for security reasons.",

"Where are all the aliens on television?",

"ET. Robert Rodat and Steven Spielberg have been working on the show (an apocalyptic science fiction show about an alien invasion that decimates Earth's societies) for three years, and fans have been waiting.",
"(TNT, like CNN, is owned by parent company Time Warner.)",
"The \"Falling Skies'\" preview at last year's San Diego Comic Con sparked excitement from a packed room of fans, but series star Noah Wyle knows the stakes are high.",
"\"I was amazed at the turnout we got,\" Wyle said.",
"\"And just how closely that particular audience pays attention to detail.",
"How wounded they feel (after) being jilted in the past (by other science fiction shows) and so they have an apprehension about embracing a new project.",
"\"But once that audience is won over, I don't think there's a more loyal following anywhere.",
"They seem to be the most vociferous letter writers in the country to support shows they enjoy, and hopefully we'll be one of them,\" he said.",
"Sci-fi fans say they have been burned by TV in the past and are cautious with their excitement for shows like \"Falling Skies\" and FOX's upcoming \"Terra Nova.\"",
"Fledgling shows with ardent fan support have not been lucky in prime time in the last year.",
"\"It seems like if a show doesn't come out of the gate blazing white hot and maintain that 'Wow' factor, they're gone in two episodes,\" sci-fi fan Shawn Hill said.",

"I think they're absolutely missing out and BBC and Syfy get it.\"",
"In order to fill the programming void, plenty of fans who tuned in to long-established franchises are turning to \"Doctor Who\" on BBC America and \"Eureka,\" \"Haven,\" \"Sanctuary\" and \"Warehouse 13\" on the Syfy channel.",
"\"Falling Skies\" executive producer Darryl Frank knows what sci-fi fans have been missing and said it was a specific design of the show to get writers who could offer compelling stories.",
"\"We literally had writers from 'Battlestar Galactica,' 'Lost,' 'Heroes' and for the second season, a writer from 'Stargate,' \" Frank said.",
"\"We specifically went out there to pursue people who could tell those types of stories.",
"But then we also wanted to make sure the people that were tuning in weekly who didn't know about the mythology because maybe they missed a week or two could still get on for the ride,\" he said.",
"Mark Verheiden, a co-executive producer and writer for \"Falling Skies\" is one of those people.",
"He's worked on \"Battlestar Galactica,\" \"Smallville\" and \"Heroes.\"",
"\"One of the big differences I think with 'Falling Skies' from many other invasion shows is that we're actually starting six months after the main 'shock and awe' invasion has happened.",
"So our survivors have had six months for the shock to fade and now they're faced with a series of choices.",
"They're essentially under occupation from this alien force, which is very strange,\" Verheiden said.",
"The aliens are mysterious, he said, because they aren't talking or negotiating with the captive Earth population.",
"\"These aren't the Cylons, who look like us and we can talk to and try to talk our way out of it or negotiate or something.",
"These creatures are very complicated and strange.\"",
"Wyle admits the aliens seen in \"Falling Skies\" are \"really freaky.\"",
"\"We didn't have the benefit of knowing what they were going to look like when we shot the pilot,\" he said.",
"Instead, the actors reacted to an image of one of the giant spiders from the movie \"Eight Legged Freaks\" that was blown up on a piece of cardboard and carried around by a prop guy.",
"Freaky aliens and end-of-the-world scenarios are often catnip to the sci-fi fan community, something executive producer Justin Falvey knows all too well.",
"\"Something Steven (Spielberg) spoke about from the beginning is, it should feel incredibly authentic and incredibly grounded in real human emotions.",
"People should be able to posit the question, 'What would you do if you were in this scenario?'",
"\" he said. Apocalyptic science fiction uses out-of-this-world circumstances to describe human struggle, Falvey said The most interesting area for \"Falling Skies\" creators to explore was the human character, he said.",
"\"Everything in terms of how we judge people in society -- socioeconomically, education-wise, all those things -- they go away immediately given what's happened here,\" he said.",
"It's one reason why science fiction fans love the genre so much.",
"Stories that envision the future can focus on how society evolves and what fantastic technology could exist, like Gene Roddenberry's vision in \"Star Trek,\" but they can also show a more directly relatable side of future humanity.",
"\"Everyone pulls together for the good of all mankind\" in apocalyptic science fiction, said Scarborough.",
"\"There's a lot more pulling together in science fiction than really any other genre.\"",
"\"And you don't see that every day.",

"(Health.com) -- Four doses of rabies vaccine are enough to prevent infection in most kids exposed to the deadly virus, according to a new policy statement from the nation's largest organization of pediatricians.",
"Between 20,000 and 40,000 people in the U.S. receive the rabies vaccine each year, usually after being bitten by an animal.",
"The standard vaccine regimen has been five shots over a 28-day period, but recent research has shown that the vaccine works in just four (or even three) shots.",
"The American Academy of Pediatrics is now recommending that children who have potentially been exposed to rabies receive four shots in two weeks.",
"(Children with weakened immune systems should continue to receive the five-shot regimen, the group says.)",
"This recommendation affirms a set of 2010 guidelines for all ages from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.",
"Health.com: 12 vaccines your child needs .",
"The policy change is designed in part to avoid shortages of the vaccine, says Rodney E. Willoughby, M.D., a professor and pediatrician at the Medical College of Wisconsin, in Milwaukee, who helped write the policy statement in this week's issue of the journal Pediatrics.",
"The most recent such shortage, in 2009, required public health officials to ration rabies shots.",
"The change will also minimize the small chance of side effects (such as hives and swelling) associated with the vaccine, says Brett Petersen, M.D., an epidemic intelligence service officer in the CDC's rabies department.",
"\"It's a very safe vaccine, but at the same time it does carry some risks,\" he says.",
"\"We want to limit the number of doses we're giving to people.\"",
"Lowering the dose will also save nearly $17 million a year in health-care costs, the CDC estimates.",
"Health.com: 8 ways to make shots easier for kids .",
"The rabies virus causes brain swelling that is almost always fatal, but the vaccine is 100% effective when given in time.",
"In the U.S., just two to three people are infected with rabies each year.",
"Rates of rabies in the U.S. began falling in the 1950s, when local governments began requiring that dogs be vaccinated against the disease.",
"Most states now require cats to get the shots too.",

"Children are much more likely than adults to be exposed to rabies.",
"Kids are less likely to fear wild animals, Willoughby says, and because of their small stature, they are more likely to be bitten in the face or neck, which means the virus can travel to the brain much more quickly.",

"Tripoli, Libya (CNN) -- Rebel fighters say they are in control of most of Libya's capital, though the months-long war appeared far from over Saturday.",
"As rebels worked to extend their reach, Moammar Gadhafi's forces battled back from a number of loyalist strongholds in Libya.",
"The fighting followed warnings by the United Nations and its diplomatic partners that widespread shortages of food, water, fuel and medical supplies could further destabilize the region.",
"\"All agreed that the crisis in Libya has entered a new and decisive phase,\" U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said, following conversations Friday with the heads of the African Union, the League of Arab States and others.",
"\"All agreed, as well, on the importance of a smooth transition.\"",
"Ban said the transition from Gadhafi's rule must be based on inclusiveness, reconciliation and national unity.",
"\"All agreed that, if the Libyan authorities request, we should be prepared to help develop police capacity, bearing in mind that the country is awash with small arms,\" Ban said.",
"The rebel's leadership, the National Transitional Council, has called on the U.N. Security Council to order the release of billions of dollars frozen by the United States and others at the onset of the war.",
"Though the National Transitional Council has been recognized by 57 countries and the United Nations as the legitimate representative of the Libyan people, the African Union failed to follow suit during a meeting Friday.",
"It also has opposed the release of Libyan funds to the rebel leadership, saying there was no one in charge of the country.",
"The African Union's Peace and Security Council issued a communiqué that urged the \"formation of an inclusive transitional government.\"",
"Gadhafi, who served as chairman of the organization in 2009, has strong ties to some of its members, including Algeria and Chad.",
"There has been speculation that should Gadhafi flee Libya, one of the two countries would accept him.",
"Gadhafi has not been seen since rebels advanced on the Libyan capital last week, though he has taken to radio airwaves and urged loyalists to fight.",
"The transitional council has placed a $1.4 million bounty on Gadhafi's head to whoever brings him in or kills him.",
"\"Right now, as I've been saying the past few days, right now there is no evidence to indicate that Gadhafi has left Libya,\" Josh Earnest, President Obama's principal deputy press secretary, told reporters Friday.",
"It is unclear who is directing Gadhafi's forces, who have been battling back at a number of loyalist strongholds.",
"In Gadhafi's hometown of Sirte, NATO warplanes bombed a headquarters bunker, the UK Defence Ministry said.",
"Tornado aircraft fired a salvo of precision-guided missiles into the city, which is east of the Libyan capital on the central coast, it said.",
"Clashes also were reported along Libya's western border, where rebels took control of the main border crossing between the two countries, according to Tunisian state-run media.",
"In the heart of the capital, rebels began exploring a vast network of tunnels that run underneath Gadhafi's Bab al-Aziziya compound -- the scene of heavy fighting in recent days.",
"Inside the tunnels, rebels discovered a golf cart believed to be used to navigate the thick-walled hallways, which they believe lead from the compound to the fiercely contested airport, said CNN's Sara Sidner, who joined the rebels to explore the underground network.",
"A former U.S. airbase converted by Gadhafi into a military airport also was opened up by the rebels in Tripoli, revealing long lines of helicopters and dust-laden jets once worth millions of dollars apiece rusting on the tarmac.",
"Rebels tore down a statue at the airport of a fist clenching a fighter jet, which was erected by Gadhafi after American fighters struck the leader's Tripoli compound in retaliation for sponsoring terrorism strikes against U.S. citizens.",
"Rebels fought to retain control of the Tripoli International Airport, which has been shelled repeatedly in recent days by loyalists entrenched in a village to the east.",
"A 17-year-old rebel said he hates war but feels forced to fight until the war ends.",
"At that point, \"I'm going to see my mother.",
"I'm going to see my family,\" said Louis al-Zinatni.",
"\"I'm going to remove this gun from my hands.",
"It's not for me.\" The war's toll was evident at one Tripoli hospital where dozens of bodies lay abandoned, said CNN's Nic Robertson, who toured the hospital with rebels.",
"One man was overwhelmed with joy to discover his son among the wounded inside the hospital.",
"But his joy was tempered by the fact that the son's wound -- a bullet to the chest -- could still prove fatal, Robertson said.",
"The continued fighting came amid mounting evidence of revenge killings by rebels and loyalists.",
"Amnesty International said Friday it had gathered accounts from survivors of abuse in Zawiya by pro-Gadhafi soldiers and rebel forces.",
"Amnesty said it also uncovered evidence that pro-Gadhafi forces killed detainees at two military camps in Tripoli on Tuesday and Wednesday.",
"Escaped detainees said loyalist forces had used grenades and gunfire on scores of prisoners at one camp, while guards at the other camp fatally shot five detainees.",
"\"Loyalist forces in Libya must immediately stop such killings of captives, and both sides must commit to ensuring no harm comes to prisoners in their custody,\" Amnesty International said.",
"The International Criminal Court has issued an arrest warrant for Gadhafi alleging crimes against humanity.",
"Meanwhile, the United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization warned antiquities dealers and others to be on the look out for Libyan artifacts that may be looted during the unrest.",
"\"Experience shows that there is a serious danger of destruction during times of social upheaval,\" Irina Bokova, UNESCO's director-general, said.",
"\"Careless dealers who buy these objects and fragments are in fact inciting more looting.",
"It is, therefore, crucial that the international antiquities market be particularly wary of objects from Libya in the present circumstances.\"",

"\"They are doing what they can and putting this backer rod in and then they are going to go back up and inspect after the storm,\" she added.",
"One area of special concern -- the most extensive damage to the stonework near the top caused by Tuesday's earthquake.",

"Even without the new cracks, the monument would have experienced seepage because of the way it was built, according to Johnson.",

"(Health.com) -- Many people who are overweight and obese either don't realize it or are in denial -- and too few doctors are setting them straight, according to a new study in the Archives of Internal Medicine.",
"Researchers analyzed data on roughly 5,500 people who took part in government health surveys between 2005 and 2008.",
"One-third of the obese participants and 55% of overweight participants had never been told by a doctor that they were overweight, the study found.",
"If a doctor did comment on a patient's weight, it seemed to make an impression.",
"Nearly 20% of obese people whose doctors hadn't brought up their weight described themselves as \"not overweight,\" compared with just 3% of those whose doctors had addressed their weight.",
"Obese and overweight patients who discussed the issue with doctors were also more than twice as likely to have tried to lose weight in the previous year.",
"Health.com: Best and worst advice from top diet plans .",
"\"If people are told by their doctor that they are overweight, it corrects their perception,\" says the lead author of the study, Robert Post, M.D., research director of the Virtua Family Medicine Residency in Voorhees, New Jersey.",
"Overweight is defined as having a body mass index between 25 and 29, and obesity is defined as a BMI of 30 and up.",
"(BMI is a rough estimate of body fat based on the ratio of a person's height and weight.)",
"Doctors may be reluctant to broach the subject of weight for a number of reasons, Post says.",
"For instance, busy physicians might not want to fall behind schedule by adding another topic to their list of things to discuss during an appointment.",
"And many doctors have negative attitudes toward their heavier patients, whom they see as unlikely to stick to a diet and exercise program, he adds.",
"Health.com: Surprising celebrity BMIs .",
"The researchers weren't surprised by the high percentage of overweight people who thought their weight was normal, as several studies in recent years have found comparable -- or higher -- rates.",
"A study published last year that used similar data from government surveys showed that 23% of overweight women and 48% of overweight men considered their weight to be just right.",
"Post and his colleagues chalk this up to what they call the \"'norming up' of society.\"",
"Roughly two-thirds of U.S. adults are now overweight or obese, and as Americans have grown heavier, the perception of what constitutes a normal weight has changed as well, Post says.",
"In fact, most of the overweight study participants accurately estimated their BMI.",
"But many didn't see their weight as unhealthy or recognize the need to shed some pounds.",
"Health.com: America's healthiest diet tricks .",
"Although it might seem obvious that excess weight is unhealthy, being reminded of this by a doctor can be an effective wake-up call, says Robert B. Baron, M.D., director of the weight management program at the University of California San Francisco.",
"In an editorial accompanying the study, Baron notes that studies have shown that smokers whose doctors remind them of how unhealthy the habit is and encourage them to quit are more likely to do so successfully than those whose doctors stay mum.",
"Simple reminders and encouragement to lose weight could have a similar effect on overweight and obese patients, he says.",
"Health.com: Obese?",

"All he was able to tell reporters was that he was all right.",
"The terms of his bail stipulated that he not talk to the media.",
"\"And he has reached an agreement with the authorities and that agreement is that he will not say anything about what happened during the 80 days that he was held incommunicado and also that he will desist from any advocacy of the rule of law, human rights or criticism of the government,\" said Nicholas Bequelin of Human Right Watch, .",
"Ai's release came without much fanfare.",
"It was quietly reported Wednesday by the state-run Xinhua news agency.",
"Many in Beijing Thursday seemed unaware that he had been freed.",
"A group of journalists and supporters gathered at his home and studio, hoping to be able to speak to him.",

"He's most famous for designing the Bird's Nest stadium for the 2008 Beijing Olympics.",
"But later Ai called for a boycott of the games because he said China was using them as propaganda.",
"He also has accused the Chinese government of trying to silence dissidents.",
"Ai was seized April 3 while planning to board a plane to Hong Kong and later accused of economic crimes, a move that prompted international condemnation and added to criticism over China's controversial record on human rights.",
"He was never formally charged or tried.",
"Ai's Beijing studio was raided, and his wife and eight assistants were taken into custody for questioning.",
"Beijing police accused him of evading a \"huge amount\" of taxes, Xinhua reported in May, more than a month after he was detained.",
"Investigators accused Ai's company of intentionally destroying accounting documents.",
"His prolonged detention sparked international outcry, especially among artists and museum officials in the United States and Europe.",
"He became a rallying point among human rights activists overseas who condemned China's crackdown on political dissidents, lawyers, artists and religious groups.",
"Observers in Beijing said it may not be coincidental that Ai's release on Wednesday took place on the eve of Premier Wen Jiabao's upcoming visit to Hungary, Britain and Germany, where Ai enjoys wide support among artists and politicians.",

"\"He's got to keep quiet and behave according to the criteria of the Chinese police for the foreseeable future,\" Cohen said.",
"\"He's not the only one. This has happened many times before,\" said Cohen, also a professor at NYU School of Law.",

"It is not clear to what disease police were referring.",
"Ai has also said that he is willing to pay the taxes he allegedly evaded, police told Xinhua.",
"Relatives and human rights groups said they believe Chinese authorities targeted him because of his irreverent commentary on modern Chinese society, though the Chinese government denied his activism had anything to do with his detention.",

"(CNN) -- A virulent strain of E. coli that has killed 18 people in Europe has not affected produce in the United States, according to food safety and health officials who conceded Friday there's much to learn about the organism.",
"Even as efforts continue to determine what caused the outbreak, cucumbers, tomatoes and lettuce imported from Germany and Spain will be tested and cleared before they are sold in the United States, according to David Elder of the Food and Drug Administration, and the results will be shared with the European Union.",
"\"I want to emphasize that this outbreak has not affected the U.S.,\" Elder told reporters in a conference call.",
"\"Produce remains safe, and there is no reason for Americans to alter where they shop, where they buy or what they eat.\"",
"Two adult women and an adult man who traveled last month to northern Germany remain hospitalized in the United States with hemolytic uremic syndrome -- a form of kidney failure -- said Chris Braden of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.",
"Those three cases were reported in Massachusetts, Michigan and Wisconsin.",
"A fourth person developed bloody diarrhea, but was not hospitalized, he added.",
"Two U.S. service members in Germany also developed diarrhea, Braden said.",
"\"We have no expectation that this will spread in our country.\"",
"The E. coli infection has spread to 12 countries and is blamed for at least 18 deaths -- all but one reported in Germany.",
"About 1,800 people have been sickened.",
"The European Food Safety Alert Network initially said enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC), a strain of E. coli, was found in organic cucumbers originating from Spain, packaged in Germany and distributed to various countries.",
"But authorities have said that the source of the contamination has not been pinpointed.",
"The Robert Koch Institute, Germany's federal unit responsible for disease control and prevention, has advised German consumers not to eat raw tomatoes, cucumbers and lettuce.",
"Germany and Spain account for a small fraction of produce that is sold in the United States in a given year.",
"Officials said tracking the source of the illness could be difficult.",
"If it, in fact, stems from the produce, the tomatoes, cucumbers and lettuce could have been eaten together in a salad.",
"\"We don't know yet what is the cause and each of these (vegetables), individually or perhaps in some combination, appear as likely culprits, so I don't think we know enough to hypothesize at what point in the supply chain contamination may have occurred,\" said Don Kraemer of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.",
"\"We don't know which one that actually had the contamination in it.\"",
"The CDC is warning any U.S. citizens who have recently traveled to Germany to seek immediate medical care if they begin to show symptoms of the bacterial infection.",
"Braden said officials were unable to identify the source for an outbreak of this E. coli strain in the republic of Georgia in 2009.",
"The strain is more common among women and adults, he said, and officials are not certain how it may be associated with produce.",
"\"We have a lot to learn about this particular organism,\" Braden said.",
"The officials told reporters the U.S. Food Safety Modernization Act signed by President Barack Obama this year provides steps that minimize the risk of E. coli at U.S. farms and production facilities.",
"\"We believe prevention is superior to responding to an outbreak such as this one,\" Kraemer said."

"(BudgetTravel) -- If the idea of bunking in the barnyard gives you hives, relax.",
"Here's everything you need to know about taking -- and enjoying -- a vacation with Mother Nature.",
"Why would anybody in their right mind want to spend their vacation on a farm?",
"In a word: the food. \"Meals are often the best part of a farmstay experience-the ingredients are the absolute freshest you'll find anywhere,\" says Reid Bramblett, former Budget Travel editor and founder of trip-planning website reidsguides.com.",
"Bramblett, who has stayed at dozens of farms throughout Europe and North America, says, \"There are veggies and dairy produced right on the spot, rib-sticking dinners, and breakfast spreads that will blow you away.\"",
"The opportunity to help gather those ingredients, get your hands dirty, and unplug is another big draw.",
"\"For families especially, a farmstay is like stepping back into idyllic, 1950s Beaver Cleaver time,\" says Scottie Jones, who owns Oregon's Leaping Lamb Farm.",
"\"Moms and dads put away their handheld whatevers and pitch in with chores or play by the creek with their kids.",
"Everybody relaxes and rejuvenates.\"",
"Last year, with the help of a federal grant, Jones launched the website farmstayus.com.",
"It now lists more than 700 farmstays across the country, which is roughly double the number it started with a year ago.",
"In fact, the trend is booming around the world.",
"Agritourism has been popular in Europe since at least the 1990s, and today there are more than 5,200 farmstays in France, and about 1,600 in Italy.",
"In more recent years, North American farmers have started opening their doors to curious city folk as well.",
"National statistics are hard to come by, but in 2008, more than 2.4 million tourists visited working farms and ranches in California alone.",
"BudgetTravel.com: 7 affordable farmstays .",
"Will I end up sleeping in a hayloft?",
"Maybe, but only if you want to.",
"There are plenty of farms where you'll rough it, such as Switzerland's Schlaf im Stroh (German for \"sleep in the straw\"), where guests pay $23 each to sleep in barn stalls alongside cattle pens.",
"Then there are places like Tennessee's Blackberry Farm, a 4,200-acre spread in the Smoky Mountain foothills where guests shell out $1,095 per night for an all-inclusive stay in a private cottage (and, at that price, presumably the best blackberries on the planet).",
"There's plenty in the mid-price range, too: Guests at Vermont's Inn at Mountain View sleep in one of 14 double rooms carved out of a redbrick New England farmstead (doubles from $175).",
"High-end or cut-rate, farmstays are almost always rich in unique experiences.",
"Where else but at New Zealand's Whiti Farm Park do you get to bed down in Native American-style teepees?",
"And no worries, there are solar showers and toilets on-site (from $22 per person).",
"BudgetTravel.com: How to be a packing genius .",
"What if I'm allergic -- to hard labor?",
"Just because you're staying on a working farm doesn't mean you'll be expected to work as a hired hand would.",
"Most farmstays let you participate as much, or little, as you want.",
"Common chores include tending beehives, making cheese, harvesting grapes, herding sheep, milking cows, and collecting eggs from the chicken coop.",
"There are also some tasks you won't be allowed to do.",
"No farmer wants an amateur ruining his prize-winning cider or butter.",
"Safety, too, is a factor.",
"\"I can't let visitors drive the tractor,\" Jones says.",
"\"Sorry, but that's a major liability issue.\"",
"Speaking of safety: Will I need to get any shots?",
"Not usually. The only possible cause for worry is an outbreak of something like hoof-and-mouth disease, but that's not very likely.",
"The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention keeps close tabs on farms around the world and offers travel advisories if any are needed.",
"The agency hasn't issued any major warnings related to farmstays in several years.",
"BudgetTravel.com: Confessions of a cruise ship musician .",
"How much should I expect to spend overall?",
"Many farmstays are all-inclusive, so you'll know the cost going in.",
"And some are free. The nonprofit organization World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms connects travelers with ranches, farms, and vineyards in 98 countries that allow guests to work for as long as they wish in exchange for free room and board.",
"The U.S. branch has more than 1,700 participating farms and 10,000 members.",

"Myth No. 1: A suntan's fine, as long as you don't burn.",
"Reality: While even one sunburn may double the chance of eventually developing melanoma (the most serious type of skin cancer), your kids are still at risk even if they never burn.",
"\"The more sun you get, the more likely you are to develop certain skin cancers,\" says Martin Weinstock, M.D., chairman of the American Cancer Society's Skin Cancer Advisory Group, no matter what your skin tone.",
"\"Any tan indicates damage to your skin.\"",
"Myth No. 2: A beach umbrella blocks the sun.",
"Reality: It's not foolproof.",
"Sand reflects 17 percent of UV radiation, so you're still exposed, says Dr. Weinstock.",
"Nevertheless, it's smart to stay in the shade when the sun's rays are high; just make sure you're also slathered with sunscreen.",
"Myth No. 3: Sun can't penetrate through windows.",
"Reality: Glass filters out only one kind of radiation -- UVB rays.",
"But UVA rays, which penetrate deeper, can still get through.",
"That's why many adults have more freckles on their left side than their right -- it's from UV exposure on that side through the car window when driving.",
"To protect yourself, apply sunscreen to any exposed areas (like your hands, forearms, and face) before getting into your car, especially in the spring and summer months, says Anthony Mancini, M.D., head of pediatric dermatology at Children's Memorial Hospital in Chicago, Illinois.",
"If you're buying a new car, consider one with tinted windows, which keep out almost four times more UVA light than regular ones.",
"You don't need to worry about putting on sunscreen when indoors unless you or your child spends most of your time near a window (for example, if your child's desk is right next to one).",
"Parenting.com: TLC for sunburned skin .",
"Myth No. 4: Too much sunscreen causes vitamin D deficiency.",
"Reality: You may have read that extra exposure to sunshine is needed to help your body make vitamin D. But according to the ACS, the American Academy of Dermatology, and the Skin Cancer Foundation, both kids and adults get plenty of this nutrient through multivitamins, vitamin D--rich foods (like milk and fortified orange juice), and everyday sun exposure.",
"Also, even if you're wearing sunscreen, small amounts of UV rays still penetrate your skin, and that's more than enough to help your body produce vitamin D. Parenting.com: Sun protection 101 .",
"Myth No. 5: If it's cool or cloudy outside, you don't need sunscreen.",
"Reality: According to the Skind Cancer Foundation, up to 80 percent of the sun's UV rays can pass through clouds.",
"This is the reason people often end up with serious sunburns on overcast days if they've spent time outside with no sun protection.",
"Even in the winter months, you need to beware: Snow can reflect up to 80 percent of UV rays, increasing exposure.",
"This is especially true if your family's on a ski vacation -- the higher your altitude, the greater your UV exposure.",
"Parenting.com: Your print-and-save guide to warm-weather safety .",
"Myth No. 6: 80 percent of sun damage occurs before age 18.",
"Reality: Contrary to previous estimates, recent studies show that we get less than 25 percent of our total lifetime sun exposure before age 18.",
"That means you get the majority of it later on.",
"So while you absolutely should be vigilant about protecting your kids, make sure you take care of yourself, too.",
"While 83 percent of parents arm their kids with sunscreen and protective clothing whenever they're outdoors, only two-thirds practice what they preach, according to a 2005 AAD survey.",
"\"Remember, kids don't always pay attention to what you say -- it's more about what you do,\" says Dr. Weinstock.",
"\"If you're making them wear sunscreen but baking yourself, you're sending them a mixed message they may carry into adulthood.\"",

"(CNN) -- A Food and Drug Administration advisory committee that has been weighing evidence on whether dye additives in food affect behavior in children will make its recommendation Thursday.",
"The panel will first listen to testimony from the public and the industry.",
"It spent Wednesday listening to testimony from doctors and scientists who contend that studies, although small in many cases, do show that some kids begin to show signs of hyperactivity once they are exposed to certain dye mixtures.",
"The question is whether the FDA committee will urge the agency to strengthen its regulation of the ingredients?",
"Although the committee only makes recommendations to the FDA, the agency usually follows those recommendations.",
"According to the experts who testified, European companies already are dropping dyes including Blue #1, Yellow #5, Green #3 and others and substituting natural dyes for them.",
"But the United States still allows artificial dyes, mostly for aesthetic reasons, not for taste.",
"\"Why are these dyes in these foods anyway?\"",
"asked Michael Jacobsen, executive director of the Center for Science and the Public Interest, a watchdog group on nutrition and food safety.",
"\"I would push for having them taken out completely.",
"But if that can't be done, why not warn the public and parents that these dyes could have some effects?\"",
"The idea that dyes in food causes attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, was first noted in \"Why Your Child is Hyperactive,\" a book written by Dr. Benjamin Feingold in 1975.",
"The eating style described in the book became known as the Feingold Diet.",
"He found if one eliminated artificial food dyes and additives in American diets, cases of hyperactivity in children would decline.",
"But reviews of the data found that the correlation between dyes and hyperactivity were inconsistent.",
"Although numerous data have been collected on food dyes and hyperactivity in kids over the past decade, critics say the design of the studies has been weak.",
"They note many of the studies were performed on small groups -- many involved no more than 25 children.",
"They also noted that much of the observation data (how the child acted) was reported by parents and not by clinicians.",
"And they pointed out that most of the dyes tested were combined into a dye mixture and not tested individually.",
"The most recent studies to bring food dyes and ADHD back to the public eye was a 2007 project conducted by researchers at the University of Southampton in the United Kingdom.",
"It showed that artificial food dyes along with sodium benzoate (a white crystalline salt used as a food preservative) increased ADHD symptoms in both hyperactive and non-hyperactive children.",
"That study was followed up by another paper in 2010 by the same researchers who looked at the connection between food dyes, ADHD and histamine, a chemical that's produced in the brain when the body is having an allergic reaction.",
"\"We found mixtures of certain artificial colors together with sodium benzoate preservative in the diet increased the average level of hyperactivity in 3 and 8/9 year old children in the general population,\" Dr. Jim Stevenson, a professor at the School of Psychology at the University of Southampton, and lead author of the study, testified Wednesday.",
"\"We found mixtures of certain artificial colors together with sodium benzoate preservative in the diet increased the average level of hyperactivity in 3 and 8/9 year old children in the general population.\"",
"Yet, it was noted that when the Southampton data were unveiled to the European Food Standards Authority, a European version of the FDA, the EFSA found the evidence weak.",
"But some groups in the United States say the findings are another reason that dyes should go.",
"A recent report issued by CSPI looked at data from a number of studies related to artificial food dyes.",
"Jacobsen argued to the board Wednesday that artificial food dyes are not safe for humans and can be connected to numerous health problems, including ADHD allergies, even cancer .",
"\"The average child consumes approximately 121 milligrams of artificial dyes a day,\" Jacobsen asserted.",
"\"That's a lot. And dye in food is used twice as much as it was in the 1970s.",
"These are noted scientific effects.",
"There are other factors that could affect child behavior, but if we can take out food dyes as a factor, why not?\""

"(CNN) -- Security forces surrounding the Rifaie Mosque in the Damascus suburb of Kafr Sousa fired tear gas early Saturday on thousands of worshipers as they ended their prayers and tried to leave the building, the Local Coordination Committees of Syria (LCC) reported.",
"Many of the worshipers returned inside the mosque, where they chanted slogans calling for the fall of the regime, said the LCC, which organizes and documents anti-government protests.",
"Later, the organization reported that security forces were making random arrests outside the mosque.",
"In the restive city of Daraa, where the arrests in March of 15 teenagers for scrawling anti-government graffiti on walls ignited the country's expressions of discontent, security forces fired randomly in an attempt to disperse two groups of demonstrators who were chanting, \"God is great!\"",
"Tanks were surrounding more than 2,000 protesters and two armored vehicles were outside Daraa's Omari Mosque, preventing worshipers from leaving the mosque to protest.",
"In all, eight people were killed Friday in Syria, the LCC said.",
"The state-run Syrian Arab News Agency reported that 11 army and security forces were killed by \"terrorist groups\" in Homs and Deir Ezzor.",
"Another 16 soldiers were wounded, SANA said.",
"CNN was not able to independently confirm the reports.",
"On Friday, at least one person was wounded when security forces opened fire on a group of demonstrators in the Bab Sbaa neighborhood of Homs, according to the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an opposition group.",
"The demonstrators, who were calling for President Bashar al-Assad's ouster, had gathered for a funeral of a man killed Thursday by sniper fire, the group said.",
"In a separate incident that occurred outside Damascus, security forces fired on a car, wounding at least one man, the group said.",
"And in Deir Ezzor, at least one demonstrator was wounded when Syrian security forces opened fire there, the group said.",
"Demonstrators had dubbed Friday a day of \"patience and determination.\"",
"YouTube videos showed demonstrations in a number of cities.",
"\"The people demand the execution of the president!\"",
"was one chant from demonstrators in Homs.",
"CNN is not able to confirm the authenticity of the videos.",
"The violence occurred on one of the most holy days of Ramadan and on the same day that a U.N. team, having completed a five-day humanitarian mission to Syria, concluded that there is \"an urgent need to protect civilians from the excessive use of force.\"",
"The August 20-25 mission, which was intended to assess the humanitarian needs of the Syrian people, also concluded that there is no country-wide humanitarian crisis, the world body said in a statement.",
"It added that \"the constant presence of government officials\" limited the visitors' ability to assess the situation.",
"\"However, the people it was able to talk to in areas of previous or ongoing unrest said they felt extremely intimidated and under constant threat.\"",
"Though the Syrian government allowed participants to visit any location they requested, \"it is doubtful that Syria has fully complied with its assurances of providing free and unimpeded access,\" the statement concluded.",
"Though government officials had vowed open access to the U.N. mission, they have restricted access to the country by international journalists.",
"Also Friday, Russia proposed a draft resolution that neither condemns Syria nor calls for the imposition of sanctions, as pressed for by the West.",
"Instead, the Russian draft calls upon Damascus to speed the pace of reform \"in order to effectively address the legitimate aspirations and concerns of Syria's people.\"",
"In addition, it urges the Syrian opposition \"to engage in political dialogue with the Syrian authorities with a view to holding a substantial and in-depth discussion on the ways of reforming Syrian society.\"",
"That was not enough for Mark Kornblau, spokesman for the U.S. Mission to the United Nations.",

"(CNN) -- Two weeks after Haiti's devastating earthquake, Daniel Rouzier stood in front of heaps of bodies, dumped unceremoniously in the valleys of Titanyen.",
"He clutched a mahogany rosary and covered his face with a sterile mask -- the stench of decomposing human flesh carried with the breeze.",
"Rouzier, a wealthy businessman and executive with a notable charity had seen on CNN how earthquake victims had been trucked out of Port-au-Prince and disposed in Titanyen without burial.",
"Upset, he put his own resources to work and hired bulldozers to dig mass graves for 2,500 bodies.",
"He said then that it was sacrilege so many people had not been given proper internment.",
"He didn't want to blame anyone for the aftermath of Haiti's tragedy; he was simply grateful to be able to help.",
"Now, Rouzier stands poised to be able to do a lot more for his country.",
"Haiti's new President Michel Martelly tapped the successful entrepreneur to become the troubled nation's next prime minister.",
"Unknown in Haitian politics, Rouzier at first was not even sure he wanted to enter a new realm.",
"\"It was not in my cards at all,\" he said in a brief phone conversation in the midst of his confirmation hearings Thursday.",
"\"But it is quite an opportunity to serve the people.\"",
"The ratification process before a parliamentary committee began Wednesday and is expected to go on for a few days.",
"Rouzier said he hopes to be approved by next Tuesday.",
"Martelly and Rouzier go way back.",
"They went to the same high school and Rouzier's brother Fabrice Rouzier founded the Haitian band Mizik Mizik.",
"Until recently, Martelly, of course, was better known as Sweet Mickey, a wildly popular bad boy of music.",
"Martelly said he tapped Rouzier because the two men share a vision for a prosperous Haiti.",
"\"Daniel Rouzier is a man of integrity,\" Martelly said.",
"\"He has a track record of getting things done, he turns dreams into reality.",
"Daniel is a man who will prioritize the interests of the country and will respect the rule of law.\"",
"A deeply devout Catholic, Rouzier said that if he is confirmed, he will serve in the prime ministerial post as a servant of God.",
"He acknowledged that the journey ahead will be challenging.",
"Haiti remains the poorest and least developed country in the Western hemisphere and is struggling to recover from the 2010 earthquake that killed more than 200,000 people and displaced 1.6 million others.",
"Hundreds of thousands of those people are still eeking out existances in makeshift camps.",
"The Inter-American Development Bank estimated that the cost of rebuilding homes, roads, schools and other infrastructure could be as much as $14 billion.The international community pledged $10 billion in March, 2010 but evidence of that money is scant.",
"A year after the earthquake, there are still mounds of rubble stacked high in parts of Port-au-Prince.",
"Haiti's problems were compounded by a cholera epidemic that erupted last October and has resurged recently as the rainy season begins.",
"Part of the reason Martelly won at the polls is because Haitians had increasingly grown discontent with the slow pace of recovery and reconstruction.",
"Haitians said they wanted a fresh start.",
"Rouzier adds to Martelly's credibility in that aspect, said Jocelyn McCalla, a Haitian-born political strategist and human rights expert.",
"Rouzier also brings expertise both in the business world and in charitable work.",
"He served as general manager of his family's Port-au-Prince car dealership, Sun Auto, and also spearheaded E-Power, a private plant intended to increase Haitians' access to electricity.",
"That project was inaugurated on the first anniversary of the earthquake this past January.",
"Rouzier also helped oversee Food for the Poor, a Florida-based Christian charity that is active in Haiti.",
"Despite no political experience, Rouzier is seen as someone who can be fair, McCalla said.",
"\"He has a good reputation,\" McCalla said.",
"\"He strikes me as somebody who is well-intentioned.\"",
"But as with all others who have entered politics in Haiti, Rouzier will have to rise above entrenched corruption, McCalla said.",
"If he becomes prime minister, Rouzier will inherit a government that was barely functioning, McCalla said.",
"\"One of his challenges is to rebuild the government from the ground up,\" he said.",
"Martelly has already promised a free and mandatory education for all Haitians, key to the Caribbean nation's development.",
"The new president has also said he will not look so kindly on those who hinder much needed change.",
"Rouzier, said McCalla, will help Martelly in challenging a mindset that has hindered Haiti in the past.",
"\"There is so much to be done,\" Rouzier said.",
"\"It's not going to be easy.\"",
"All those months ago, he had bestowed peace upon the souls of the dead.",
"It may prove more difficult to do so for the living."

"(CNN) -- A record number of Americans served time in corrections systems across the country in 2007, according to a report released Monday by the Pew Center on the States.",
"Some of the nation's most high-profile federal inmates are housed at the Supermax prison in Colorado.",
"The U.S. correctional population -- those in jail, prison, on probation or on parole -- totaled 7.3 million, or 1 in every 31 adults.",
"The Pew Center on the States compiled the information from Justice Department and Census Bureau statistics.",
"America's prison population has skyrocketed over the past quarter century.",
"In 1982, 1 in 77 adults were in the correctional system in one form or another, totaling 2.2 million people.",
"The United States has 5 percent of the world's population, but 25 percent of the world's prison inmates, the center said.",
"The numbers vary widely by race and gender.",
"\"Black adults are four times as likely as whites and nearly 2.5 times as likely as Hispanics to be under correctional control.",
"One in 11 black adults -- 9.2 percent -- was under correctional supervision at year-end 2007,\" the report said.",
"\"And although the number of female offenders continues to grow, men of all races are under correctional control at a rate five times that of women.\"",
"There are also wide differences depending on the state.",
"Georgia tops the nation, with 1 in 13 adults in the state's corrections system, while in New Hampshire the figure is 1 in 88.",
"Southern states tended to have higher rates, with Plains and rural Northeastern states coming in lower.",
"\"State policy choices are responsible for creating this mess and state policy choices can get us out,\" said Adam Gelb, director of the Public Safety Performance Project for the Pew Center on the States.",
"\"There are two things, and two things only that determine the size and cost of the prison system.\"",
"Dealing out longer sentences and putting more people behind bars have been the hallmarks of Southern states, he said.",
"America's record prison population has had a huge budgetary effect, according to the report, with increased corrections spending outstripping everything at the state level except for Medicaid.",
"Gelb said prison costs 22 times more than community-based corrections.",
"\"If you talk to judges and prosecutors practically anywhere in this country, they will tell you if they had stronger community corrections, they wouldn't have to send so many people [to prison] for so many low-level offenses,\" he said.",
"For California, it has meant overcrowded prisons.",
"In February, federal judges tentatively ruled that California must reduce the number of inmates in its prison system by up to 40 percent to stop a constitutional violation of prisoners' rights.",
"Implementing the court's ruling would result in up to 58,000 prisoners being released, said Matthew Cate, California's corrections and rehabilitation secretary, describing it as a threat to public safety.",

"(CNN) -- Ollanta Humala, a left-leaning Peruvian politician who promises reforms in education and services to the poor, was sworn in as the nation's president Thursday.",
"In his first address as president, Humala stressed equality, saying he wants Peru to be \"a place where everyone enjoys the same rights to abundance and happiness.\"",
"\"Economic growth and social inclusion must march together,\" he said of his governing philosophy.",
"He succeeds Alan Garcia, who oversaw a period of robust economic growth as president, but who nonetheless was unpopular and criticized for promoting business at the expense of indigenous groups and the environment.",
"Humala, an ex-army officer who ran unsuccessfully for president in 2006 as a leftist ally of Venezuela's Hugo Chavez, reinvented himself as a more moderate leader.",
"He calmed markets and worries that his moderation was a facade to win the election by naming a Cabinet made up of political moderates.",
"The new president has promised to spread the benefits of Peru's economic boom to the poor.",
"He has cited needs to improve the nation's infrastructure, water, sanitation and education, particularly in rural areas.",
"A number of presidents from other Latin American countries, including Ecuador, Chile and Brazil, were on hand to witness the swearing-in ceremony.",
"There was a small oddity during the swearing in of Humala and his two vice presidents, when they all swore allegiance to Peru's 1979 Constitution.",
"That document, however, was replaced in 1993 by a new one drafted during the presidency of strongman Alberto Fujimori.",
"Humala defeated Fujimori's daughter, Keiko, to win the presidency.",
"The slap at the current Constitution resulted in boos and shouts from members of Fujimori's party.",
"Several times in his speech, Humala talked about the importance of unity.",
"\"Reality requires a new social contract that makes it possible for all Peruvians to live together,\" he said.",
"He added that he wants \"to be seen as a defender of human rights and of freedom of the press and expression.\"",
"Other leftist leaders in Latin America, such as Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa and Venezuela's Chavez, have been criticized by press freedom organizations for clamping down on the media.",
"Humala promised change, but warned that it would not be as swift as his critics fear, or as some of his supporters desire.",
"To be lasting, he said, \"any changes must be gradual and rational.\"",
"In another minor controversy, the outgoing president, Garcia, did not attend the swearing-in ceremony to pass the presidential sash to his successor.",
"Garcia, who was also president in a disastrous term from 1985 to 1990, was booed and heckled by Congress when he bid farewell.",
"According to local media, he decided not to attend this time to avoid another round of heckling."

"(CNN) -- Since \"The Tree of Life,\" reclusive filmmaker Terrence Malick's fifth film in four decades, premiered at Cannes earlier this week, the 2½-hour long impressionistic tone poem has elicited mixed reactions ranging from scattered boos to walkouts to long standing ovations.",
"When the film took the coveted Palme d'Or at the end of the festival, the buzz was deafening.",
"So what's the big deal? Let's get the things we already know about the ambitious film out of the way first: It stars Brad Pitt as a stern but ultimately disappointed father of three boys in 1950s Texas, Jessica Chastain as his luminescent wife and Sean Penn as one of their grown-up sons many years later; there is little in the way of linear narrative or dialogue outside of breathy voiceovers contemplating the existence and disposition of God; there are lengthy sequences of volcanoes erupting, cells dividing and many other awe-inspiring natural phenomena that recall both \"Nova\" and \"2001: A Space Odyssey\"; and, yes, there are CGI dinosaurs.",
"A tough sell to be sure, especially for Americans who would rather stick with the familiar territory of \"The Hangover Part II\" or \"Kung Fu Panda 2\" than a meditation on how the lives of this family coincide with the birth of the entire universe (enter the dinosaurs), but stay with me.",
"What the film lacks in traditional box office appeal, it more than makes up for in stunning visual effects and a unique, poetic perspective on family, faith, loss of innocence and reconciliation that will stay with you long after you may finish scratching your head at the film's conclusion.",
"The complaints about \"The Tree of Life\" center around the fact that while some plot and conflict is established, nothing ever really happens.",
"It's more or less true, but it misses the point.",
"In as spiritually minded a movie as \"The Tree of Life,\" it only makes sense that the journey would be the destination.",
"Or, as the film's stars put it at a press conference in Cannes: \"It's like (Malick) is waiting with a butterfly net to catch what was going by that day,\" Pitt said.",
"\"It's all about capturing an accident,\" Chastain added.",
"\"He would be shooting and Brad would be wonderful and then there'd be a woodpecker nearby and he'd turn to that.",
"You can't plan any moment.\"",
"For a viewer, this so-called aimlessness may sound frustrating, but Malick is nothing if not meticulous.",
"He juxtaposes explosive imagery and a soaring operatic score with smaller, tender moments like natural light shining through blades of grass and a baby's first steps to create the complete mood and mosaic of \"The Tree of Life.\"",
"Ultimately, that is this film's strength.",
"In a move that rankled many at Cannes, Malick declined to do any press and was only on hand unexpectedly and briefly at the Palais to premiere the film.",
"Pitt described the absence as the auteur's preference to focus on \"building a house, not selling the real estate.\"",
"Still, with a movie that raises more questions than it answers, the public wanted Malick's help interpreting the film.",
"We say just see it. And then maybe see it again. It's a work of art to experience and behold, but don't try too hard to dissect it, because the whole doesn't always live up to the sum of its extraordinary parts.",
"Have you seen \"The Tree of Life\"?",
"Tell us what you thought in the comments.",
"\"The Tree of Life\" is open in limited release in New York and Los Angeles, with wide release on July 8."

"\"I offer our Japanese friends whatever assistance is needed,\" he said during a news conference.",

"\"You know Japan is very reliant on nuclear power, and they have very high engineering standards.",
"But one of their plants came under a lot of stress with the earthquake and didn't have enough coolant.",

"At the same time, Obama said the drawdown would help the United States begin to refocus attention and resources on efforts to resolve economic and other problems and to unify a politically divided nation.",
"Here's how CNN analysts reacted to the address: .",
"Peter Bergen, CNN security analyst .",
"\"Well, we've known [talks with the Taliban] have been going on for several months, but certainly as far as I can tell this is the first time the president sort of officially acknowledged it.",
"Bob Gates did a few days ago.",
"President Karzai was the person who kind of first outed it officially.",
"\"I think it is a big deal that White House officials I spoke to said that they're aware of somewhere between 10 and 20 different what they call \"leads\" into the Taliban.",
"They're sort of doing detective work is what they're saying, trying to work out if these leads, how legitimate are they.",
"\"Is somebody coming forward as sort of a free agent who really doesn't represent senior leadership of the Taliban, or is it something deeper?",
"\"They are saying they are not starry-eyed about these discussions with the Taliban.",
"They don't expect some Treaty of Versailles or some peace agreement on the deck of the USS Missouri.",
"But they are looking at sort of some leads that appear to be fairly substantial.",
"That might lead to further negotiation.",
"So I think this is newsworthy.\"",
"Gloria Borger, CNN chief political analyst .",
"\"This is a president who understands that 56% of the American public does not want to be in Afghanistan.",
"And the White House advisers I spoke to today said to me, 'Look, if you go back to his speech in December of 2009, this is a president that people will view as steady.'",
"\"Because he told us what he was going to do when he announced the surge in December 2009.",
"And that is exactly what he has done.",
"He is claiming some success in diminishing and defeating al Qaeda, obviously killing bin Laden helps him with that narrative.",
"\"And so I think he believes it now.",
"He can make the case to the American public that he can draw down having had some success.",
"\"But given the fact that we're spending all this money on this war, that it is usually unpopular.",
"I think it's very difficult to separate what is a military decision from what will become a political decision, you know?",
"It's just -- it's all part and parcel of the same thing.\"",
"David Gergen, CNN senior political analyst .",
"\"Well, he has chosen I think what was called earlier the 'Goldilocks strategy.'",
"That is there's some people that want to move out rapidly, some people that want to stay a long time.",
"I might choose the middle of that.",
"\"And overall I thought that this speech did bring into focus -- it was a very good speech -- brought into focus his overall philosophy.",
"\"You have to say he promised as a candidate early on in his presidency he would wind down the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and try to do that successfully.",
"\"And his White House aides were pointing out this afternoon when he came into office he had 196,000 troops deployed.",
"By the end of this year we'll have less than 100,000.",
"He is winding down. I think there's substantial disagreement on how he's winding down.\"",
"Fareed Zakaria, CNN world affairs analyst .",
"\"I think it's in keeping with his basic strategic rationale from the start.",
"He did announce the surge.",
"Part of that was, I think, the military boxed him in.",
"You remember [Gen.] Stan McChrystal leaked his recommendation.",
"It became very difficult for a Democratic president to overturn it.",
"\"But Obama has started his presidency saying we are too committed overseas, we are too militarily engaged, we have too large a footprint, we've got to rebalance, we've got to focus on nation-building at home.",
"We've got to focus on Asia.",
"And he sounded all those themes.",
"\"It was a remarkable speech for an American president in the caution, the strategic emphasis, rather than the idealistic emphasis.",
"\"He says things like, we must be as pragmatic as we are passionate, as strategic as we are resolute.",
"People would have America overextend itself, confronting every evil that could be found abroad.",
"This is reminiscent of a very different strain of America, in many ways, a strain that goes back before the Cold War.\""

"(CNN) -- Joseph Maraachli, the infant whose family refused to accept a recommendation by a Canadian hospital to remove the boy's breathing tube and allow him to die, is now breathing on his own without the aid of a mechanical ventilator.",
"The family flew back to their home in Windsor, Ontario, on Thursday, one month after receiving a tracheotomy at a children's hospital in St. Louis.",
"\"By providing him with this common palliative procedure, we've given Joseph the chance to go home and be with his family after spending so much of his young life in the hospital.\"",
"said Dr. Robert Wilmott, chief of pediatrics for SSM Cardinal Glennon.",
"The 15-month-old, widely known in the media as \"Baby Joseph,\" became the center of an international end-of-life debate when a London, Ontario hospital where he was receiving care for a progressive neurological disease refused to insert a tracheotomy, a surgical procedure in which an opening is made into the airway through an incision in the neck and allows for suction of fluid out of the lungs.",
"In court papers, doctors in Canada said there was no hope for recovery.",
"They would not perform a tracheotomy because they considered it to be invasive and not recommended for patients who require a long-term breathing machine.",
"The family refused to accept the recommendation.",
"The Maraachlis' daughter, Zeina, had died at home in 2002 with a tracheotomy after suffering similar complications, and the family wanted to offer the same care to their son.",
"The Maraachli case caught the attention of the group Priests for Life, which funded Joseph's transfer and treatment at the SSM Cardinal Glennon Children's Medical Center.",
"That hospital deemed the procedure medically appropriate and Baby Joseph underwent a tracheotomy there on March 21.",
"Frank Pavone, national director of Priests for Life, said he considers this a \"victory over the culture of death.\"",
"He says \"[Joseph] has gained benefit from his tracheotomy, is breathing on his own, and is going home to live with his parents.\"",
"Priests for Life is a Catholic pro-life organization which functions as a network to prevent abortion and euthanasia.",
"They are often noted for the graphic images depicting abortion they use to make their case.",
"The London Health Sciences Centre -- the hospital where Maraachli was initially treated -- responded on March 23 that \"there are clearly differences in the approach of these centres to the management of end-of-life care in this tragic situation\" and that \"the medical judgments made by LHSC physicians remain unchallenged by any credible medical source.\"",
"On Thursday, the hospital said it \"has no new comments from those already provided in our previous media statements.\"",
"After arriving in Canada on Thursday morning, the child was examined by a team of physicians at the Windsor Regional Hospital to ensure no complications or infections resulted from the flight.",
"According to the hospital's president and CEO, David Musyj, the Maraachlis are prepared to take care of their son, but they also will be provided round-the-clock nursing care in their home.",
"A team of community care nurses will alternate shifts staying with the family.",
"They will take the lead on daily requirements, to include cleaning the trach, tube feeding and administering anti-anxiety medications.",
"The nurses will also monitor his heart rate, suction secretions that build up in his lungs and provide oxygen as needed.",
"According to Musyj, the 24-hour nursing care, medications and all the equipment are provided free of charge under Canada's universal health care system.",
"In the United States, hospice care is underutilized even though it tends to be less expensive than hospitalization and provides more comfort to the patient.",
"Estimates find approximately 60% of all deaths occur in the hospital, yet most patients express a preference to die at home.",
"It is unclear at this point just how much time the Maraachlis have left with their son.",
"In a phone conversation, Pavone said Joseph's symptoms are much more benign than those suffered by his sister.",
"\"It's really an unpredictable condition,\" he said.",
"\"Our mission to save Baby Joseph was never based on any prediction of the future, but rather on the value of his life here and now.\""

"(CNN) -- U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords is recovering \"really, really well\" from surgery that implanted a synthetic bone and a shunt in her skull, her doctors said Thursday.",
"The Arizona Democrat told her neurosurgeon that she was extremely excited to have crossed a key milestone in her recovery, which her doctors called \"almost miraculous\" considering she was shot point-blank in the head in January.",
"\"The shunt is in good position, the implant is in good position and everything looks great,\" said Dr. Dong Kim, who performed the 3 1/2 hour-surgery to replace the part of her skull bone that was shattered and contaminated.",
"\"She looks great,\" he said.",
"\"I started calling her 'Gorgeous Gaby' today.\"",
"The shunt is expected to help Giffords improve but, Kim said, it was impossible to predict exactly how much progress she was going to make.",
"The Arizona Democrat was shot outside a Tucson, Arizona, supermarket where she was meeting with constituents in January.",
"Six people -- including a federal judge -- were killed and 13 others were wounded in the attack.",
"Jared Lee Loughner stands accused in the shooting.",
"Surgeons in Arizona had cut a hole in Giffords' skull to give her brain space to temporarily swell.",
"The congresswoman was later transported to Houston for further treatment and rehabilitation.",
"Her skull could be repaired only after the swelling had subsided.",
"Kim implanted a piece of synthetic bone specially made for the congresswoman.",
"\"It really is a significant step.",
"More than just getting the bone back, it is a marker for where we are\" in Giffords' recovery, Kim said.",
"Like many other patients with gunshot wounds to the head, Giffords has hydrocephalus, or a build-up of fluid in the brain.",
"Kim said an internal drain, called a shunt, was inserted into Giffords' cranial cavity to carry excess fluids from the brain to the abdominal cavity.",
"Giffords will have to wear the shunt forever.",
"Dr. Girard Francisco, who is in charge of Giffords' rehabilitation, said that the congresswoman will undergo bedside rehab for at least the next two days before returning to the in-patient program at the TIRR Memorial Hermann Rehabilitation Center in Houston.",
"Giffords' husband, Mark Kelly, the commander of the space shuttle Endeavor, has been getting updates from conversations with family.",
"\"Everything went as planned,\" he told PBS Thursday from the International Space Station.",
"\"Her neurosurgeons are very happy and she's recuperating and she's actually getting back to therapy today so it went really, really well.\"",
"Monday, Giffords watched and cheered as the Endeavour took off on its final voyage from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.",
"CNN's Elizabeth Cohen contributed to this report."

"Kabul, Afghanistan (CNN) -- Five American service members were killed Thursday after an improvised explosive device detonated in southern Afghanistan, officials said.",
"The attack occurred several days after 30 Americans died in a helicopter crash in central-eastern Afghanistan.",
"That was America's worst single-incident loss of life since the war began.",
"No other details were provided regarding Thursday's incident.",
"On Wednesday, Afghan Defense Ministry spokesman Gen. Mohammad Zahir Azimi told reporters that coalition forces had killed 189 militants in joint operations against Taliban insurgents across the country in the past three weeks.",
"Azimi announced that 362 insurgents had been detained since July 23, as NATO and Afghan forces stepped up raids against Taliban strongholds.",
"\"We've increased our efforts over the last several months,\" said Lt. Cmdr.",
"Jimmie Cummings, a spokesman for NATO's International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan.",
"\"The focus is to allow them to have less and less (in terms of) safe havens.\"",
"But a Taliban spokesman rejected the insurgent casualty figure cited by the Defense Ministry in what appears to be the latest example of coalition forces vying with insurgents in attempting to control information from the battlefield.",
"Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said fewer than 30 militants had been killed during that time, adding that the insurgency had stepped up its guerrilla tactics and mine attacks.",
"Mujahid also rejected an earlier NATO statement that said coalition forces had killed insurgents responsible for the downing in eastern Afghanistan of a CH-47 Chinook helicopter that left 38 U.S. and Afghan personnel dead.",
"He said a NATO airstrike killed a separate group of insurgents, while those responsible for Saturday's strike slipped into a separate Afghan province.",
"He did not elaborate, and CNN could not independently confirm the claims.",
"Al Jazeera aired Thursday video of what it said was wreckage of the helicopter.",
"The video shows unspent shells; papers in English and rubble.",
"\"These are the only pictures of the helicopter remains that NATO forces were not able to hide,\" the narrator says.",
"\"It's apparent that the helicopter did not only fall, but it exploded and scattered.\"",
"Saturday's attack on the helicopter represented a major blow to America's most elite fighting unit: 17 U.S. Navy Seals were killed along with other special operations forces, Afghan commandos and a civilian translator.",
"U.S. Special Operations Forces have conducted at least 2,500 raids by helicopter in the last year and Saturday's strike was the first during that time in which an aircraft supporting operations was lost, ISAF said.",
"Meanwhile, the country faces looming questions over its long-term stability and the prospect of a resurgence by the Taliban as a security handover and NATO drawdown take place.",
"But it remains unclear whether recent attacks by Taliban fighters represent newfound insurgent strength.",
"In May, the Taliban launched what they called a Spring Offensive against Afghan and NATO forces, in a wave of attacks that has continued into late summer.",
"But NATO forces, bolstered by last year's \"surge\" of 33,000 additional U.S. troops, say they have increased operations against Taliban safe havens, pushing insurgents from strongholds in the south and east.",
"Meanwhile, 10,000 U.S. soldiers are scheduled to depart Afghanistan by year's end, with the full drawdown set for the end of 2014.",
"Western diplomats, however, predict a NATO military presence will extend beyond the drawdown date.",
"CNN's Larry Shaughnessy and Kamal Ghattas contributed to this report."

"(CNN) -- Barry Manilow told CNN's Piers Morgan that when he first got into show business, he had \"no eyes to be a performer.",
"I had no ambition to be on the stage singing, singing and dancing around the stage.\"",
"Manilow, who has sold over 80 million records worldwide, had 35 consecutive Top 40 hits and five albums simultaneously on the charts, is the guest on Thursday's \"Piers Morgan Tonight.\"",
"The show was taped before a rare in-studio audience, and the renowned singer-songwriter played the piano and sang some of his hits.",
"\"When I got up there to promote my first album,\" said Manilow, \"I really didn't know what to do with my legs.",
"I was able to get up from the piano, and then I really didn't know what else to do, because I had never, ever thought about standing up on a stage and entertaining.",
"And, I thought I was dreadful.",
"But the audiences didn't. And I think they were able to connect with a guy who was telling the truth.\"",
"Manilow recalled that his first real shot at the spotlight was given to him by Bette Midler in the early 1970s.",
"\"I was her conductor and arranger,\" said Manilow.",
"\"And I had an album out. And she allowed me to do a couple of songs.\"",
"During the 1960s and 1970s, Manilow worked as a commercial jingle writer.",
"He composed the songs for State Farm Insurance (\"And like a good neighbor, State Farm is there... \"), Band-Aid (\"I am stuck on Band-Aid, 'cause Band-Aid's stick on me!\")",
"and McDonald's (\"You deserve a break today\") among others.",
"Manilow pointed out that the State Farm and Band-Aid jingles still air to this day.",
"The Brooklyn-born-and-raised Manilow recalled that on the day he was presented with his first $1 million check, which he calls \"The 'Mandy' check,\" he had actually bounced a check he'd written out to AT&T that same morning.",
"\"Mandy,\" which was recorded in 1974, was Manilow's first No.",
"1 hit. \"I used it as a bookmark,\" said Manilow.",
"\"I mean, that's where I was at, you know. I didn't take money seriously.",
"I was never doing it for the money.\"",
"Manilow also recounted the lashing he got from critics who bashed \"Mandy,\" despite the song's success on the charts.",
"\"I've got my feelings on my sleeve,\" said Manilow.",
"\"I've made a career out of it, you know?",
"This is who I am, this is what I feel and I think that was one of the reasons I had such trouble with the critics.",
"They didn't like to see that from a guy.",
"They'd much rather see a guy being angry on the stage.\"",
"Manilow's first album of original songs in more than a decade, \"15 Minutes,\" is out.",
"The singer-songwriter has been the resident headliner at The Paris Hotel in Las Vegas for two years; prior to that he headlined at the Las Vegas Hilton for five years.",
"Now in his seventh year in Vegas, Manilow may soon beat Elvis Presley's record of Las Vegas longevity.",
"The album name is a nod to the expression coined by artist Andy Warhol in 1968: \"In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes.\"",
"Manilow, who has been world-famous for nearly 40 years, told Morgan that the rewards of fame depend on how it is handled.",
"Manilow said that he fears for people who become famous on shows such as \"American Idol\" and \"X Factor\" without having paid their dues.",
"\"They do have talent,\" Manilow said.",
"\"But, you know, before you know it, they are household names.",
"And they haven't worked in the bars that we worked in.",
"They haven't played the bar mitzvah, they haven't gotten dressed in the men's room.\"",
"However, Manilow pointed out there's a dark side to fame today and that stars often pay a price that he didn't have to pay.",
"In particular, he referenced Britney Spears' psychological issues and troubles with paparazzi and said, \"I don't know whether anybody brings that kind of thing on themselves.",
"It seems to me that she was trying to live her life.",
"\"This didn't happen to me. Not that. They didn't follow me around wherever I was going.\"",
"He said he worries about young celebrities today because \"just being famous is a very dangerous thing to do if you are not grounded.\"",
"Manilow also pointed out that celebrities today open their private lives to the public via Twitter, YouTube and reality shows, saying \"they invite people in, you know.",
"For me, that's one place I lock the door unless I invite you in.",

"(Health.com) -- Mercury exposure from eating fish doesn't appear to raise the risk of heart disease and stroke, as some research has suggested, according to a new study in the New England Journal of Medicine.",
"The study -- the largest of its kind to date -- should help settle long-standing uncertainty about whether mercury from fish, which in high doses is believed to cause developmental delays in fetuses and infants, might also impact the heart health of adults.",
"\"This research provides really robust evidence that mercury exposure from fish consumption at levels commonly seen in [the] U.S. and similar countries is not linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease,\" says Dariush Mozaffarian, M.D., the lead author of the study and an associate professor of cardiovascular medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School, in Boston.",
"\"For the average consumer who's worried about mercury in fish, our study suggests that cardiovascular toxicity should not be a concern.\"",
"Health.com: 10 best foods for your heart .",
"Not only is eating fish safe, but it's also good for your heart, thanks to its low levels of saturated fat and abundant omega-3 fatty acids.",
"In the study, in fact, the participants with the highest mercury exposure appeared to be at slightly less risk of heart attack and stroke than those with the lowest exposure, a trend that is probably due to the benefits of fish consumption rather than the mercury itself, the researchers say.",
"Fish ingest mercury, an industrial by-product, when it collects in rivers and oceans.",
"Mercury levels tend to be more concentrated toward the top of the underwater food chain, as smaller fish (such as sardines and shrimp) are eaten by larger fish (such as swordfish and tuna).",
"Fish-oil supplements, which many people take to promote heart health, have not been found to contain mercury, says Stephen Kopecky, M.D., a cardiologist and professor of medicine at the Mayo Clinic, in Rochester, Minn. Health.com: Supplements for cholesterol: what works?",
"For years, health officials have warned pregnant women, nursing mothers, and young children to limit their fish consumption due to concerns about the apparent link between mercury exposure and subtle delays in the brain development of infants and children.",
"Neurological problems stemming from mercury-laden fish do not appear to be a concern for adults, but doctors have been less certain about the effects of mercury on heart health.",
"Some experts have suggested, for instance, that mercury could affect heart health by interfering with heart function, promoting blood clots, or neutralizing antioxidants.",
"To test this theory, Mozaffarian and his colleagues measured mercury levels in the stored toenail clippings of 3,427 people with a history of heart disease, heart attack, or stroke, and compared them with an equal number of demographically similar people without heart problems.",
"(Toenail clippings are a common way of measuring mercury exposure.)",
"Health.com: 10 healthy fish recipes .",
"The participants, who were part of two long-running government studies known as the Nurses' Health Study and the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study, also answered detailed questions about their dietary habits.",
"The average mercury concentrations were about the same in both groups, 0.23 versus 0.25 micrograms per gram.",
"(By comparison, 0.4 micrograms per gram is considered the upper limit of safety for pregnant moms and infants.)",
"The researchers found no relationship between mercury exposure and the risk of heart attack and stroke, even in people with mercury concentrations of up to 1 microgram per gram.",
"\"Any way we looked at it, we found no evidence for higher risk,\" says Mozaffarian, who is also an associate professor of epidemiology at the Harvard School of Public Health.",
"In short, there is no reason to change the current dietary recommendations regarding fish and mercury, Kopecky adds.",
"Health.com: Healthy fish choices .",
"The American Heart Association generally recommends that people eat fish at least twice a week, limiting their consumption of large, predatory fish that might have higher mercury levels.",
"The Food and Drug Administration, meanwhile, urges pregnant women and young children to eat no more than two servings of fish per week.",
"These groups should stick with salmon, catfish, canned light tuna, and other low-mercury species, and should avoid high-mercury species altogether, the agency says.",

"New York (CNN) -- A man pleaded not guilty Thursday in the Father's Day shooting deaths of four people in a Long Island, New York, pharmacy robbery for painkillers, according to Robert E. Clifford, a spokesman for the Suffolk County district attorney's office.",
"Police said David Laffer has been accused of fatally shooting two employees at Haven Drugs in Medford as well as two customers before leaving with a large quantity of prescription drugs Sunday morning.",
"The attack was allegedly unprovoked, according to Police Commissioner Richard Dormer, who cited surveillance video that captured the shootings on tape.",
"Laffer's attorney, Mary Beth Abbate, noted that Laffer has no previous criminal record and has asked for a \"reasonable bail,\" she said.",
"Police said Laffer later was identified -- despite wearing a phony beard, sunglasses and a cap -- after authorities received more than 400 tips from the public.",
"The 33-year-old Long Island resident had appeared on a list of pharmacy clients who received various drugs from the Haven Drugs store, Dormer said.",
"Laffer was also registered as owning a .45-caliber handgun, the same type of weapon used in Sunday's shooting, he added.",
"Dormer noted that evidence found at the scene allegedly linked Laffer to the shooting, but did not elaborate.",
"Laffer has been charged with first-degree murder and resisting arrest.",
"On Wednesday, police removed a bloodied and handcuffed Laffer from his home, and he appeared to have suffered trauma to his face.",
"\"The officers had to use force\" because Laffer became \"extremely violent\" during the arrest, Dormer told reporters.",
"Laffer's wife, Melinda Brady, 29, was also arrested and charged with third-degree robbery and obstructing governmental administration, authorities said.",
"\"He was doing it maybe because he lost his job over my health,\" Brady told reporters during her arrest.",
"\"I'm sorry that he did all this.\" Both Laffer and Brady appeared \"strung out\" and \"under the influence\" at the time of their arrests, Dormer said.",
"Brady has since been hospitalized.",
"The pair was arraigned Thursday at First District Court in Central Islip, Long Island.",
"Police identified the dead as Raymond Ferguson, 45, and Jennifer Mejia, 17, both pharmacy employees, as well as customers Bryon Sheffield, 71, and Jamie Taccetta, 33.",
"Mejia's death came days before her graduation from Bellport High School on Thursday, said school secretary Maryann Malcolm.",

"Washington (CNN) -- The United States is watching closely to the see the ultimate fate of the most powerful man in Pakistan, Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, the Pakistani army's chief of staff.",
"Pressured by Washington to crack down on terrorists at the same time he was kept in the dark about the U.S. raid to kill Osama bin Laden, Kayani \"is facing more vocal and strident criticism than he has in the past,\" a senior U.S. military official told CNN.",
"\"We really think he is coming under increased scrutiny by junior and mid-grade officers.\"",
"This is the type of scrutiny senior Pakistani generals like Kayani are \"not accustomed to facing,\" the official said.",
"Criticism of Kayani inside Pakistan had grown in recent months as he became close to the Obama administration and the Pentagon.",
"But in the wake of the U.S. military raid into Pakistan to kill bin Laden, the criticism has increased from an officer corps furious that U.S. troops invaded Pakistan's territory without the Pakistani military, and especially Kayani, being consulted.",
"Adm. Michael Mullen, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, is one of Kayani's closest professional and personal allies, having met with him many times in the past several years.",
"\"Mullen does consider him a friend,\" said the admiral's spokesman, Capt John Kirby.",
"\"That doesn't mean there aren't still disagreements.",
"It doesn't mean Kayani doesn't feel betrayed.\"",
"U.S. officials are closely watching a group known as the \"11 corps commanders,\" the senior Pakistani generals hand-picked by Kayani to command.",
"Keeping their loyalty will be crucial for Kayani to keep his job.",
"At his final Pentagon news conference Thursday before stepping down at the end of the month, Gates warned that no matter how much strain exists between the two countries, cooperation must be preserved.",
"\"We need each other and we need each other more than just in the context of Afghanistan.",
"Pakistan is an important player in terms of regional stability and in terms of central Asia, and my view is that this is a relationship that we need to keep working at it.\"",
"Incoming Defense Secretary Leon Panetta on June 9 sounded a similar warning: \"This is a difficult challenge.",
"The relationship with Pakistan is at the same time one of the most critical and yet one of the most complicated and frustrating relationships that we have.\"",
"Panetta said it is \"complicated by the fact that they maintain relationships with certain terrorist groups, that they continue to not take aggressive action with regard to these safe havens, and that they're concerned about the sovereignty results and criticisms of the United States when, in fact, my view is that the terrorists in their country are probably the greatest threat to their sovereignty.\"",
"For his part, Mullen, also testifying before Congress this week, said he wouldn't \"push back\" on the challenge of working with Pakistan.",
"\"Some of the criticism is more than warranted.",
"Nobody's worked that harder than me, very frankly, with the leadership.",
"And it's a conscious decision, I think, that we have to make.",
"And if we walk away from it, it's my view it will be a much more dangerous place a decade from now, and we'll be back.\""

"Borg, who won 15 majors between 1974 and 1981, is confident the six-time champion can overcome holder Rafael Nadal, in-form Serb Novak Djokovic and fourth seed Andy Murray at the All England Club tournament.",

"\"I pick Federer because the way he played the French Open.",
"I have never seen Roger play better clay court tennis than he did in Paris.",
"Murray's Wimbledon mission will not succeed in 2011 .",
"\"Roger is a mentally strong person, so when he's coming to one of his favorite surfaces, grass, I think it's going to be very difficult to beat him at Wimbledon.\"",
"Although Borg tipped the 29-year-old Federer to shine, the former world number one would not be surprised if top seed Nadal, Australian Open winner Djokovic or home-crowd favorite Murray clinched the title.",
"\"You have four guys right now, they are playing incredible tennis and I think everybody's very confident for the moment.",
"I pick Federer, but anyone can win.\"",
"Nadal equaled Borg's record of six French Open triumphs with his victory over 16-time major champion Federer earlier this month, and the 55-year-old said he has enjoyed watching the pair's rivalry develop over the last few years.",
"\"My two favorite players are Federer and Nadal.",

"\"I would agree with Borg in a sense that a six-time Wimbledon champion can win it seven times.",
"\"I don't think there is a clear-cut favorite this year.",

"Washington (CNN) -- Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington closed its doors Saturday, completing the military hospital's merger with the Bethesda National Naval Medical Center.",
"The event was marked with a flag-lowering ceremony, which followed the transfer of Walter Reed's 18 remaining patients to the combined medical center's Bethesda, Maryland, campus.",
"The official closing was conducted a day earlier than originally planned in order to avoid the worst of Hurricane Irene, but the ceremony was still marked by grey skies, heavy rain and strong winds.",
"This somber weather caused Lt. Gen. Eric Schoomaker, the Army surgeon general, to remark in his closing speech, \"clearly the heavens are struggling with the finality of this too.\"",
"Despite the weather, a sizeable crowd of Walter Reed staff and military personnel attended the outdoor ceremony with their families.",
"For many of them, the closure of the Walter Reed facility marks the end of an era.",
"The hospital center has been in operation for more than a century and has provided medical care to many of the nation's wounded soldiers.",
"It has also served as a leading center for medical research.",
"The new combined facility, known as the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, is now the country's largest military medical center.",
"It will be run jointly by the Army and the Navy."

"Moscow (CNN) -- Moscow has been chosen as the venue for this year's international figure skating championship, to take place in April, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin announced Thursday at the start of a Russian cabinet meeting.",
"The championship was initially scheduled to take place this week in Tokyo, but was cancelled in the wake of Japan's massive earthquake and subsequent tsunami March 11.",
"\"I would like to assure all our friends and partners, that their teams, all participants in the championship and all guests, will feel at home in Moscow,\" Putin said as he delivered the news.",
"The International Skating Union reported on its website Thursday that \"after a careful evaluation\" it had decided to allot the championship to Russia.",
"It will be held April 24-May 1 in Moscow's Megasport Arena.",
"Austria, Canada, Croatia, Finland, and the United States were the other countries bidding to host it, the organization's statement said.",
"\"The ISU is convinced that the Japanese delegation coming to Moscow deserves and will receive special attention and respect,\" the statement says.",
"\"At a time like this, words cannot express feelings but the ISU wants to let the skating friends of the Japan Skating Federation and the people of Japan know that the thoughts and wishes of the skating family continue to remain with them.\"",
"\"This event wouldn't be expensive, and we could easily handle all the expenses related to it,\" Putin said Tuesday when first proposing Russia as the venue for the championship.",
"\"The more so, that there are millions of figure skating fans (in Russia),\" he said.",
"\"Our people would be happy to see this wonderful show ... We don't insist on anything, but if the International Union needs a helping hand, we would extend it with pleasure.\""

"New York (CNN) -- The National Hurricane Center on Saturday warned residents of tall structures in the path of Hurricane Irene that the wind hitting upper floors will be stronger than those in most storms.",
"\"As Irene moves through areas with high-rise structures, these structures will experience winds significantly stronger than indicated by the advisory intensity,\" forecasters said.",
"\"Winds at the 30-story level will likely be 20% higher than at the surface.",
"And winds 80-100 stories up could be about 30% higher than the surface.\"",
"Irene was expected to reach the New York metropolitan area Sunday at hurricane strength.",
"Winds were at 80 mph Saturday evening.",
"The center's analysis buttressed Mayor Michael Bloomberg's call for high-rise residents to stay away from windows if they live on the 10th floor or above.",
"At the city's request, building owners were shutting down elevators Saturday.",
"Reaching trapped residents would be a drain on police and fire who need to respond to \"real emergencies,\" Bloomberg added.",
"In a hurricane the higher you go, the stronger the wind gusts.",
"CNN meteorologist Sean Morris said the higher friction at the ground surface slows wind speeds.",
"According to the National Hurricane Center, forecasters started seeing the significant upper wind increase when the eye-wall collapsed over the Bahamas.",
"They also noted that there was little thunderstorm activity associated with Irene.",
"Thunderstorms tend to bring the higher winds down to the surface, and with the lack of such activity the stronger winds are staying at higher levels.",
"As the storm re-emerges over the Atlantic late Saturday and moves northward, the colder waters also will aid in intensifying this effect.",
"Construction workers had wind dynamics in mind while they secured One World Trade Center ahead of Irene's arrival.",
"While the windows being installed on the soon-to-be tallest building in the U.S. are designed to withstand 125 mph winds, they're only in place up to the 52nd floor.",
"Steel beams taking the place of the Twin Towers have risen to the 80th floor.",
"The remaining upper floors are open to the elements.",
"That's a serious concern because anything blown off a building from that height, even something as small as a bolt, can become a deadly projectile in a hurricane.",
"\"They are very big on safety here,\" said Kelly Potts, an electrician working on One World Trade Center.",
"\"If anything is not tied down they will address it and fix it.\"",
"The construction cranes high atop the World Trade Center site also were to be secured.",
"They are designed to withstand strong winds.",
"Construction workers on the site are well aware how serious high winds are at a skyscraper under construction.",
"While the Time Warner Center was being built a few years ago at Columbus Circle in New York a plywood board was blown off the building.",
"It struck a man below, killing him.",
"Bloomberg also urged people not to have a generator inside their home or apartment because \"carbon monoxide fumes kill.\"",
"\"Homeowners and residents: If you haven't done so already, please bring outdoor furniture inside -- plywood, trash cans, any loose items that can blow around,\" he said.",
"CNN Radio's Steve Kastenbaum contributed to this report."

"(CNN) -- Rory McIlroy has been reflecting on his meltdown at the Masters, after the 21-year-old squandered a four-stroke lead going into the final round at Augusta, eventually carding an eight-over-par 80 to finish 10 strokes behind winner Charl Schwartzel.",
"Speaking to the official Masters website, the Northern Irishman said: \"I'm very disappointed.",
"\"I was leading this golf tournament with nine holes to go, and I just unraveled.",
"Hit a bad tee shot on 10, and then never really recovered.",
"It's going to be hard to take for a few days, but I'll get over it.\"",
"McIlroy is not alone in crumbling on the back nine whilst leading the Masters and joins a famous list that includes great names such as Ben Hogan, Arnold Palmer, Scott Hoch and Greg Norman.",
"Can McIlroy conquer mental minefield?",
"And McIlory admitted that when he missed the fairway on the 13th hole, he knew his Masters dream had died.",
"\"I'd knew that unless I birdied my way in, I realized I didn't have a chance,\" McIlroy said.",
"\"I realized that was it then. \"But this is my first experience at it and hopefully the next time I'm in this position I'll be able to handle it better.",
"\"I didn't handle it particularly well obviously, but it was a character-building day, put it that way.",
"I'll come out stronger for it.\"",
"And, speaking on his Twitter feed, McIlroy quoted Muhammad Ali, saying: \"It's repetition of affirmations that leads to belief -- and once that belief becomes a deep conviction, things begin to happen.\"",
"McIlory also received some words of encouragement from Schwartzel who said: \"Golf is a really funny game -- one moment you're on top of it, the next moment it bites you.",
"\"Rory is going to feel hurt.",
"It's not easy what he went through. He is such a phenomenal player and he will win one.",
"\"The first just happens to be the toughest, and that may be the biggest lesson of all,\" added the South African."

"(Health.com) -- A drug widely used to treat mild Alzheimer's disease appears to provide no benefit to this group of early stage patients, according to a new analysis of previously conducted research.",
"Memantine, also known by its brand name, Namenda, is approved by the Food and Drug Administration only for moderate-to-severe cases of Alzheimer's, although doctors often prescribe it \"off-label\" for milder cases of the disease.",
"\"We conclude that there is a lack of efficacy in mild Alzheimer's,\" says the lead researcher, Lon Schneider, M.D., a professor of psychiatry, neurology, and gerontology at the University of Southern California, in Los Angeles.",
"\"We think physicians, patients, and caregivers should simply know this.\"",
"Pairing memantine with a cholinesterase inhibitor, a type of drug that prevents the breakdown of neurotransmitters involved in memory, has become a standard treatment for mild Alzheimer's disease, but this study \"clearly flies in the face\" of that approach, says William Thies, Ph.D., the chief medical and scientific officer of the Alzheimer's Association, a research and advocacy organization based in Chicago.",
"Health.com: 25 signs and symptoms of Alzheimer's disease .",
"People with mild Alzheimer's have impaired short- and long-term memory and typically experience difficulty with tasks such as paying bills, according to the Alzheimer's Association.",
"Those with moderate disease may have trouble remembering their address or phone number and can become confused about the day of the week or their whereabouts.",
"In 2003, the FDA approved memantine for moderate-to-severe Alzheimer's disease, but two years later the agency rejected an application from the manufacturer, Forest Laboratories, to expand the approval to mild Alzheimer's.",
"The drug has nevertheless remained popular for that purpose.",
"Nearly one-fifth of all people with mild Alzheimer's received the drug in 2006, and the rates may be far higher in some hospitals and practices, according to the study, which appears in the journal Archives of Neurology.",
"Many neurologists -- 40 percent, by one estimate -- even prescribe the drug for mild cognitive impairment, a condition that may or may not progress to full-blown dementia.",
"Health.com: 9 foods that may help save your memory .",
"Schneider and his colleagues reanalyzed data from three clinical trials that included 431 patients with mild Alzheimer's disease and 697 with moderate Alzheimer's.",
"The trials were originally sponsored by Forest, but the new analysis was funded by grants from the National Institutes of Health and other non-industry sources.",
"(Schneider has served as a consultant for Forest.)",
"Patients with mild Alzheimer's who took memantine showed no improvement in mental function and their ability to handle everyday tasks (such as bathing and dressing) compared with those who took placebo, either within any one trial or when all of the data were combined.",
"The drug did appear to be slightly more effective for moderate Alzheimer's.",
"Patients taking memantine continued to experience mental decline while on the drug, but less so than patients taking a placebo.",
"Even in this group, however, the evidence for memantine's effectiveness was \"meager,\" the researchers concluded.",
"Health.com: Half of Alzheimer's cases misdiagnosed .",
"\"None of the studies individually showed an effect,\" Schneider says.",
"\"It was only when all three studies were added up together that we could see an effect on some outcomes, and [it was] very small.\"",
"The findings don't mean that memantine is ineffective for all patients, Thies says.",
"\"There's a great deal of variation from patient to patient, so whatever you see in a clinical trial is just the average of whatever that is,\" he says.",
"Some people may experience \"a robust benefit\" from the combination of memantine and a cholinesterase inhibitor, he adds, while \"some get none at all.\"",
"There is no cure for Alzheimer's.",
"Medications sometimes help with symptoms but can't actually reverse the course of the disease, which may be why doctors are willing to prescribe drugs even when their effectiveness is unproven, Schneider says.",
"Health.com: Alzheimer's disease -- should I take medicines?",
"Patients with mild Alzheimer's disease who are already taking a cholinesterase inhibitor often ask, \"Isn't there more that can be done?\"",
"Schneider explains.",
"\"Memantine is one other thing that can be done.",
"Part of it is hopefulness.",
"The drug may not be indicated for mild Alzheimer's, but what's the cost?\"",
"Memantine has very few side effects, he adds, but Alzheimer's is devastating.",
"Gary Kennedy, M.D., the director of geriatric psychiatry at Montefiore Medical Center, in New York City, says that while the new study will \"make people more appropriately cautious,\" it isn't likely to change doctors' prescribing practices.",

"(Rolling Stone) -- There are moments when \"Move Like This,\" the first new album by the Cars in 24 years, sounds so much like a record by the Cars that you find yourself laughing out loud.",
"Take \"Sad Song,\" on which the opening salvo -- a terse guitar strum set against the machinelike thwack of snare drum and hand claps -- is such a note-perfect evocation of the band's vintage attack that it almost plays like winking self-parody.",
"Ronald Reagan was mired in the Iran-Contra scandal when Ric Ocasek and Co. released their last studio album; Benjamin Orr, the Cars' bassist and co-lead singer, died of pancreatic cancer in 2000.",
"But the Cars haven't moved their music an inch.",
"This is the sound of a band picking up a conversation in midsentence.",
"Rolling Stone: Watch the Cars return with surreal 'Sad Song' Can you blame them?",
"Their hits are still radio mainstays, and their influence is audible in successive generations of pop-savvy rockers, from Weezer to the Strokes.",
"Listen back to \"Just What I Needed\" or \"Drive\" and you'll hear where many of today's young bands learned their tricks: how to mix guitars and synthesizers, how to make rock that's as tuneful as bubblegum, and pop that's as stylishly sinister as rock.",
"\"Move Like This\" is a reminder that New Wave can still sound new, especially when the Cars do it.",
"Produced with skillful restraint by Ocasek, his bandmates and the dependable Jacknife Lee (the Hives, Snow Patrol), the album calls to mind adjectives long associated with the Cars: taut, sleek, seamless, efficient.",
"It's a record that whizzes past -- 10 songs in less than 40 minutes -- leaving behind a dark gleam.",
"Rolling Stone: New Wave heroes the Cars roar back on reunion record .",
"It opens with a socko one-two punch: \"Blue Tip\" and \"Too Late,\" textbook Cars songs that place Ocasek's deadpan atop Elliot Easton's tensile lead guitar and Greg Hawkes' blipping, squealing keyboards.",
"The Cars have been called post-punk pop classicists -- what Buddy Holly might have sounded like had he lived long enough to trade in his Strat for a Roland synthesizer.",
"But the thing that has really set them apart is groove, and Ocasek is at his best in songs like \"Keep on Knockin',\" singing a jittery version of the boogie blues.",
"Ocasek's lyrics can be hard to parse, whether about sex (\"Your waxy face is melting on your lap/I sat there trying to crush a gingersnap\") or politics (\"Sanctuary in the heartland/Black-and-white TV/Stroking all the gunheads/ To the ninth degree\").",
"But for Ocasek, the sound is more important than the message -- in fact, the sound is the message.",
"The Cars have always been mood-music specialists; their cold, brittle, shiny songs evoke long nights, jagged nerves, frustrated longings.",
"Rolling Stone gallery: Random notes, rock's hottest photos .",
"Orr added some warmth, a touch of daylight, to the proceedings, but with him gone, Ocasek has burnished the group's music to a glossier shade of noir.",
"\"Your eyes are dim, your heart is blue/'Cause nothing ever lasts,\" Ocasek croaks over chiming guitar arpeggios in \"Take Another Look\"; on \"Sad Song,\" he sings, \"It's just a sad song that pulls you along.\"",
"Long after we thought we'd heard the last from them, the Cars have made their darkest, most romantic album.",
"It pulls you along.",

"(CNN) -- Former NFL lineman Shane Dronett's transformation from an affable prankster, quick to flash a wry smile, to a person who was often frightened -- and frightening -- was subtle at first.",
"It began in 2006, with a bad dream.",
"\"He woke up in the middle of the night and started screaming and told everyone to run out of the house,\" said Chris Dronett, Shane Dronett's wife.",
"\"He thought that someone was blowing up our house.",
"It was very frightening.\" Chris tried to dismiss the incident as isolated, except that two weeks later, there was another outburst, then another, until they were an almost-nightly occurrence.",
"And as Shane's fear and paranoia began overwhelming him, so did episodes of confusion and rage that sometimes turned violent.",
"Only three years after retiring from the NFL in 2006, Shane was suffering.",
"The tragic culmination of his pain came when he committed suicide in 2009 at 38.",
"Scientists at the Boston University School of Medicine's Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy tested Shane's brain tissue and confirmed that before he died he was suffering with a brain disease -- chronic traumatic encephalopathy -- that seems to afflict football players.",
"\"There is evidence of CTE in his brain making him yet another former NFL player who had definite CTE,\" said Chris Nowinski, co-director of the traumatic encephalopathy center.",
"Nowinski said the center has found evidence of CTE in the brains of 13 of 14 former NFL players, including Dronett.",
"Usually found in much older dementia patients, CTE is an accumulation of an abnormal protein in the brain called tau, which is associated with repeated head traumas -- concussions or subconcussive hits -- that are not allowed to heal.",
"CTE can also diminish brain tissue and is associated with memory loss, depression, impulsive behavior and rage.",
"Outrage comes out of nowhere .",
"The Dronetts' daughter recalled an incident at a local burger joint: \"He was ordering, and he got mad at (an employee) and just punched him in the face,\" said 16-year-old Hayley Dronett.",
"\"He thought the guy was shaking the ice weird or something, and he took him down in the restaurant,\" added Chris.",
"It was all uncharacteristic for a man whom Chris described as \"someone who would light up the room,\" outgoing, affable, funny.",
"It was incongruous behavior for a father who had been involved and close with his two daughters -- taking them four-wheeling, volunteering at school, even painting their fingernails.",
"\"He was just the best dad in the world,\" said Hayley.",
"Researchers believe that the battering Shane Dronett took as an NFL lineman -- and the hits he accumulated over two decades of playing -- might explain his brain's deterioration.",
"\"What we know is that by definition, a lineman will have their head hit almost every play of every game and every practice,\" said Dr. Robert Stern, co-director of the BU CSTE.",
"\"The estimates are around 1,000 or more hits for a lineman every season.\"",
"It might have been the accumulation of tens of thousands of subconcussive hits -- which might not result in overt concussion symptoms such as dizziness, short-term memory loss and confusion but could still cause brain damage -- that finally took a toll on Shane.",
"\"I think the issue is that the brain was not meant to be hit even subconcussively 1,000 times a year,\" said Stern.",
"The NFL would not comment about Shane's case specifically, but it emphasized that the league supports the BU center's work and that it continues to take steps limit contact to the head and to ensure that concussions, when they occur, are properly treated.",
"10 hard seasons of hard hits .",
"Shane played for 10 seasons, first with the Denver Broncos and then the Atlanta Falcons.",
"He played defense on the 1998 Falcons team that had a storybook Super Bowl run.",
"Chris said her husband never let a concussion deter him.",
"\"Shane didn't come out of games because he always said NFL players are so expendable,\" said Chris.",
"\"And if you're not out there, the next guy will be.\" Kurt Warner: Playing with concussion \"part of the game\" Shane played through dizzying hits.",
"\"There were times when he'd be slow getting up and kind of try to shake it off and get back in there,\" said Chris.",
"\"He would have headaches and he would say 'I wish someone would split my head open with an ax and relieve the pressure,' but it wasn't even an option to come out (of the game).\"",
"Could a tumor explain his behavior?",
"When Shane was found to have a brain tumor in 2007, at the height of his unorthodox behavior, it was actually a glimmer of hope for his wife.",
"\"I was almost relieved because I was thinking, 'OK, here is the answer to why he's acting like this, because he had a tumor,' \" said Chris.",
"\"And then after he recovered from the tumor being removed, he was back to the same symptoms of paranoia.\"",
"Shane's neurosurgeon said that he most likely had the tumor all his life and that the benign growth could not explain his behavior, Chris said.",
"Researchers at BU CSTE call the brain tumor potentially confounding, but most likely not a factor in Shane's behavior.",
"\"There's no way we would ever know what was specifically caused by the tumor or the surgery for the tumor or CTE,\" said Stern.",
"\"But more than likely at least some of his behavior and symptoms were associated with the worsening of the CTE.\"",
"The reasons for Shane's behavioral changes soon became secondary to a bubbling fear for his wife and daughters.",
"It came to a head during a ski trip that Chris took with her daughter Hayley in January of 2009.",
"\"He called us 100 times a day, wondering where we were and we'd tell him we're in Utah ... and he just didn't believe it,\" said Chris.",
"\"He thought people were driving around the house and he was wondering who had been following him that day.",
"It was just very scary.\" Shane was supposed to pick up his family at the airport but never showed up.",
"The next morning, Chris encountered her husband in the hallway of their home, brandishing a gun.",
"\"I saw the gun, and I ran out the front door,\" said Chris.",
"\"He had gone into the kitchen, and as soon as I put my hand on the front door, I heard it.\"",
"What Chris had heard was the firing of the gun that killed Shane when he turned the gun on himself.",
"In a moment, months of consternation and abject fear ended, giving way to profound sadness for a family that, even as they waded through the mire of Shane's condition, could not have foreseen this end.",
"\"He was always so full of life,\" said Chris.",
"\"Even his darkest moments, I just still never imagined that he would do that.\"",
"Two years removed from the terrible events of that January morning, Chris finds some solace knowing that a brain disease that could explain why she and her daughters lost Shane.",
"\"I had nowhere to turn.",
"I didn't know anything about (CTE).",
"I didn't know other players were going through this type of stuff,\" said Chris.",
"\"I think if Shane knew at the time how serious (playing through concussion) could be down the road, he would have backed off.\"",
"Chris is heartened by rules changes and progress at the NFL level, but chafes when she hears about players who oppose those changes.",
"\"I know a lot of the players are against that, but they're young and they haven't seen what I've seen,\" said Chris.",
"Chris says that if she could speak directly to players, \"I would tell them what I went through, what Shane went through and what other people I know have gone through and then let them make that decision.",
"Because I feel like they're making their statements without being educated.\""

"(Mental Floss) -- The classic \"Seinfeld\" episode \"The Bottle Deposit\" will be 15 years old in May.",
"In honor of Kramer and Newman's ill-fated trip to Michigan in a mail truck full of bottles and cans they hoped to redeem for dimes, let's take a look at why Michigan's bottle deposit is so high.",
"How long has Michigan had the dime deposit?",
"The 10-cent deposit traces its roots back to the Michigan Beverage Containers Law of 1976.",
"Here's how it works: the consumer pays an additional dime up front, which will be refunded when the can or bottle is returned.",
"The rule aims to curb litter, encourage recycling, and provide funding for environmental programs.",
"Mental Floss: Why Does Bottled Water Have an Expiration Date?",
"Does the higher deposit prompt more recycling?",
"A five-cent difference may sound trifling, but the higher deposit helps make Michigan's recycling program wildly successful.",
"Although it's tough to track fraudulent cans and bottles that come in from outside the state, the Michigan program has returned over 95 percent of the deposits it has taken in since the year 2000.",
"According to stats published by the Container Recycling Institute, these rates dramatically outpace those in states with nickel deposits, where redemption rates largely remain in the 60-to-80-percent range.",
"Those dimes add up, too. In 2008, Michigan returned over $407 million in deposits.",
"Mental Floss: A Seinfeld guest star quiz .",
"Could Kramer and Newman really have pulled off their stunt?",
"Possibly, but it would have been illegal.",
"Bringing in containers from other states and taking Michigan's dimes is technically fraud.",
"In 2011, they'd have had an additional problem, as the state now uses \"reverse vending machines\" to scan barcodes and make sure the container in question is eligible for redemption.",
"Moreover, they might have had to find quite a few stores to redeem their cans.",
"Under Michigan law, retailers have to return $25 worth of deposits per person per day.",
"Retailers are allowed to return larger sums at their own discretion, but they're only required to shell out $25 to each person.",
"Since Kramer and Newman had $500 worth of cans apiece, they might have found themselves hoofing it to 20 different retailers.",
"Mental Floss: Stories behind 11 regional soft drinks .",
"Has anyone actually tried this scam?",
"Oh yeah. In 2007, Michigan State Police ran Operation Can Scam -- no points for creative naming there -- which led to the arraignment of 10 grocers and conspirators.",
"The grocers' scam was pretty much Kramer and Newman's idea on a grander scale: smugglers in Ohio collected millions of cans and sold them to grocers at a discount off the 10-cent redemption value.",
"The grocers then redeemed the deposits for the full dime, and everyone made a profit.",
"At least they did until the law caught wind of the scheme.",
"In the course of making the 10 arrests, the authorities turned up millions of cans and $500,000 in cash.",
"The director of the Michigan State Police told ClickonDetroit.com that similar scams defraud the state of $13 million each year.",
"What happens to any unclaimed dimes?",
"Even though an extremely high percentage of containers are returned, unclaimed deposits still regularly add up to eight-figure sums each year.",
"Three quarters of that money goes into the Cleanup and Redevelopment Trust Fund to pay for environmental programs, while the remainder goes to the retailers.",

"Washington (CNN) -- In the most extensive reshaping of the Obama administration's national security team to date, the president will name Central Intelligence Agency Director Leon Panetta as his nominee to succeed Robert Gates as defense secretary, top U.S. officials said Wednesday.",
"Gen. David Petraeus will be nominated to take over as CIA director, and Lt. Gen. John Allen will succeed Petraeus as head of the U.S-led international military force in Afghanistan, a senior administration official told reporters.",
"In addition, longtime diplomat Ryan Crocker will be nominated as the next U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan, the official said.",
"President Barack Obama will formally announce the changes on Thursday, according to the senior administration official.",
"It is the biggest reshaping of Obama's national security team since he took office in January 2009 and reflects a longstanding plan by Gates to step aside this year.",
"More changes also are coming.",
"Both Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and FBI Director Robert Mueller are not eligible for renomination for terms that expire this year.",
"Gates will resign effective June 30, assuming Panetta gets confirmed by Congress in time and is ready to start on July 1, according to an administration official and a congressional aide familiar with phone calls Gates was making to legislators and senior staff members.",
"Petraeus will remain in command in Afghanistan until Allen is ready to take over at the beginning of September, officials said, which could require an interim CIA director if Panetta moves to the defense secretary's office as planned on July 1.",
"In addition, Petraeus will resign from the military once confirmed so that he serves as a civilian CIA director, officials said.",
"Initial reaction from Congress was positive, with key legislators on intelligence and security issues praising both Panetta and Petraeus as good choices.",
"\"The sum total of these picks is that the president has chosen experienced people with unique capabilities to serve our nation at a dangerous time,\" said Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina.",
"\"This team will provide the leadership to help make our nation safer.",
"I could not be more pleased with these selections.",
"I hope these nominees receive swift approval by the United States Senate.\"",
"Gates was telling legislators and staff members that he recommended Panetta for his job six months ago, and joked that Panetta stopped speaking to him for days for doing so, the officials said.",
"In addition, Gates was saying that Allen was a consensus choice to succeed Petraeus, according to the officials.",
"It took a meeting with Obama to convince Panetta to accept the job, a source familiar with the discussions told CNN.",
"Panetta has been happy serving at the CIA, but \"believes strongly in public service and answering the call from the commander-in-chief,\" the source said.",
"Panetta, 72, took over at the CIA in February 2009.",
"He served as chief of staff to President Bill Clinton between 1994 and 1997, and was previously the director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).",
"The California Democrat served in the House of Representatives from 1977 to 1993.",
"Before coming to the CIA, he spent 10 years co-directing a public policy institute with his wife, Sylvia.",
"He was brought in as a relative outsider, without hands-on intelligence experience, to manage an agency that had been shaken by the exposure and criticism of its controversial interrogation and detention program.",
"Panetta's longstanding ties to Congress were seen as a way to restore the administration's relationship with oversight committees.",
"He has been given high marks on both fronts from inside the agency and in Congress.",
"David Berteau, a senior adviser at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, said Panetta brings several important qualities to the table.",
"He \"learned a lot of lessons\" about defense budgeting during his stint as the head of the OMB, and knows how to deal with a Republican Congress, as he did during the Clinton administration, Berteau said.",
"Panetta's former congressional district in northern California had a huge defense presence, Berteau said.",
"Panetta has earned the trust and confidence of Obama as leader of the CIA, and has name recognition, which is important, Berteau said, adding: \"It's a name Americans recognize.",
"Filling Bob Gates' shoes is really going to be a tough job.\"",
"Berteau said the president's choice of Petraeus to lead the CIA indicates that Obama is interested in his national security views and efforts and it \"indicates that the president cares about the way all those pieces fit together.\"",
"Earlier this month, Petraeus took a highly unusual step for a military officer when he publicly acknowledged the possibility of being in contention for a presidential appointment.",
"\"It's probably not appropriate for me to comment on whatever might be considered down the road,\" he told reporters in Kabul when asked about the possible CIA nomination.",
"\"I've had discussions, but again, it wouldn't be appropriate to comment.\"",
"Petraeus, 58, assumed command of the NATO International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) and U.S.",
"Forces Afghanistan on July 4, 2010, after serving for more than 20 months as commander of United States Central Command.",
"He previously commanded multi-national forces in Iraq, leading the so-called \"surge.\"",
"During his time commanding the U.S. Army Combined Arms Center and Fort Leavenworth, he oversaw the development of the Army/Marine Corps Counterinsurgency Manual.",
"Crocker has served previously as U.S. ambassador to Iraq and to Pakistan, while Allen became deputy commander of U.S. Central Command in July 2008.",
"Gates is the only Cabinet member from the previous administration to stay on when Obama came into office.",
"President George W. Bush nominated Gates as the nation's 22nd secretary of defense in December 2006 to replace Donald Rumsfeld, one of the architects of the Iraq War who was facing widespread criticism.",
"Gates did not expect to stay on after Bush's presidency ended.",
"When asked if he would continue under another administration, Gates said in 2008, \"I learned a long time ago never to say never, so my answer is: The circumstances under which I would do that are inconceivable to me.\"",
"But those circumstances arose.",
"In December 2008, then-President-elect Obama expressed a desire for continuity at the Pentagon, given the ongoing conflicts abroad in Iraq and Afghanistan.",
"\"I spent a long time hoping the question would never be popped,\" Gates admitted the day after Obama announced his nomination.",
"But, he said, Obama \"impressed\" him.",
"It is unclear who may replace Mueller at the FBI.",
"Attorney General Eric Holder on Tuesday did not rule out Mueller staying on short-term when his 10-year term expires in September if a successor has not yet been confirmed.",
"Mueller will leave \"hard shoes to fill,\" Holder said.",
"Holder said he has been discussing potential nominees with White House officials, including Vice President Joe Biden.",
"Holder said he believes that if a nominee is selected by May, the administration should have time to get the new director confirmed by August.",
"If that timeline slips, however, the Mueller term would end September 4, one week before the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.",
"Mueller has often remarked that he barely had a chance to find his desk before the 9/11 attacks occurred, and his entire decade was dominated by the fight against al Qaeda and its scattered supporters at home and abroad.",
"CNN's Barbara Starr, Joe Sterling, Terry Frieden, Tom Cohen, John King and Chris Lawrence contributed to this report."

"(CNN) -- Some stunning buildings have appeared in American cities the past four years -- buildings, like the Aqua skyscraper in Chicago, Illinois, that attest to the creativity of 21st-century architecture.",
"But there might be fewer of them in the near future, because the recession has forced many architects to tone down their ambition.",
"\"A lot of projects have been delayed, a lot of projects have been scaled back, a lot of projects have been scrapped. ...",
"It's not a time to see a lot of architectural masterpieces being created,\" said Kermit Baker, chief economist of the American Institute of Architects.",
"Baker said the emphasis today is on value.",
"\"I think most buildings that are being built are very much focused on managing cost,\" he said.",
"\"So you tend to see less creativity in that environment, less exciting designs, less upscale materials being used in them.\"",
"At Aqua, the curved terraces vary slightly from floor to floor, giving the 82-story tower a soft, billowy look -- as though Chicago's celebrated winds are ruffling its façade.",
"It's an award-winning structure that stands out for its innovative design by Studio Gang Architects.",
"But its construction was well under way before the recession.",
"Now \"we are hearing that there's more renovation work than construction work -- kind of retrofitting existing buildings rather than building new ones,\" Baker said.",
"It might not be the most stimulating work for innovative minds, but at least it's work in what industry experts say has become an intensely competitive market.",
"Where there were once two or three firms competing for a small project, now there are 20 or 30 as larger firms move in to take whatever jobs they can get.",
"The larger firms might \"rather do a skyscraper, but if they can get a much smaller job they will, to keep the firm going and to keep people employed,\" said Robert Campbell, a free-lance architecture critic for The Boston Globe.",
"\"And that drives people out of the field at the bottom who would otherwise have been getting those small jobs.\"",
"Many firms have had to lay off employees to stay afloat.",
"According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employed architects have dropped from an average of 233,000 in the first quarter of 2008 to 217,000 in the first quarter of 2009 and 198,000 in the first quarter of 2010.",
"George Miller, the president of the AIA and a partner at world-renowned architecture firm Pei Cobb Freed & Partners, worries about the long-term effects this job shortage will have on the industry.",
"\"It's really difficult, of course in these last several years, for students coming out of school to find appropriate positions in the field,\" he said.",
"\"That really concerns all of us because we're afraid that we're going to lose a generation of architects. ...",
"There are going to be fewer of us around to do the work that really needs to be done in the future.\"",
"What will be the architectural work of the future?",
"Miller says it will likely be energy-efficient design and a renewed focus on infrastructure, especially in urban areas.",
"\"We're going to be considering not only the individual building solution, but also the way in which our buildings fit in neighborhoods and communities and regions,\" he said.",
"\"We really have to have a plan now that considers the infrastructure of our communities. ...",
"I think if we're smarter in terms of designing our urban centers, we'll be more efficient in terms of the utilization of our natural and physical resources.\"",
"Experts agree that architecture is a cyclical industry and that the market will eventually rebound.",
"The question is when. \"It's always been highs and lows, highs and lows,\" said Campbell, who is also a registered architect.",
"\"I remember in 1975 I was working for a prominent firm in Harvard Square, and we dropped from 68 [employees] to 20.",
"And that was the oil embargo, '74, and that led to an extremely steep recession but a short one -- not like this one that's lasted so long.\"",
"Some architects think recovery might be around the corner.",
"\"We are seeing the private sector picking up,\" said Thomas Fridstein, head of global architecture for AECOM, a provider of technical and management support services.",
"\"I feel like we've been through the worst, we've sort of hit the trough of the recession and things are on the upturn.",
"We've had some major commercial clients contacting us about projects potentially starting up again, so that's a very positive sign.\"",
"It's a positive sign for the nation, too, because busy architects are a bellwether of economic stability.",
"\"If you don't design it, you can't build it,\" Baker said.",
"\"So [architects] are really the first step in the process toward seeing a recovery.\""

"(Mashable) -- At Wednesday's announcement of Google's +1, the company was coy about comparing its experimental product to the longstanding Facebook Like button.",
"But in the two companies' ongoing battle for ad dollars, +1 is a clear shot across Facebook's bow.",
"Let's follow the money for a moment.",
"Both companies get most of their revenue from advertising.",
"They pitch their ad services based on their ability to serve highly targeted ads that get good results for brands and businesses.",
"They are able to target ads based on the data they gather about users.",
"But here's the main difference: Facebook gathers data based on user-submitted profile information.",
"Google has to rely on roundabout ways to get data for ad targeting.",
"And some of those methods, including cookies that track browsing behavior, are coming under fire from citizens and governments.",
"As you can see from the chart below, Google has a lot to worry about when it comes to competing with Facebook for ad dollars.",
"Google commands 12.6% of the annual $10.1 billion U.S. online ad spend; Facebook trumps that figure by nine full percentage points.",
"New user acquisition .",
"Google's +1 buttons will soon appear in Google Search, one of the most widely used services on the Internet.",
"And clicking them will require the user to have a Google profile.",
"As Google's Manager of Global Communications Jim Prosser told us in an email, \"We think it's important for users to know who they are seeing +12 s from, which is why we have the upgrade or creation of a Google profile as part of the flow of a user's first +1.\"",
"Facebook profiles are more or less de rigeur for anyone with an Internet connection.",
"Meanwhile, Google Profiles -- and most of Google's other social products, such as Hotpot and Buzz --have mostly remained in the rarefied domain of the digerati.",
"Making a Google Profile a requirement for those addictive little +1 buttons is a smart move on Google's part.",
"It may not match Facebook's 500 million-strong membership when the feature rolls out to all users, but it has a good shot at vastly increasing levels of profile adoption.",
"Facebook's critical mass of users has been one of the things that's allowed it to succeed in capturing more ad spend that Google.",
"Even though it is a closed, unsearchable system, Facebook has the sheer number of users and amount of behavioral and demographic data to sweep up ad dollars no matter what.",
"Data gathering for ad targeting .",
"If Google's +1 does lead to a larger number of Google Profiles, Google will have even more personal and demographic data than it currently does about web users.",
"Right now, Facebook has the ability to offer extremely highly targeted ads because of the kinds of data it gathers about its users.",
"It knows whether you're single or not, it knows your gender and sexual orientation, where you work, where you live and a great deal more.",
"Advertisers are very excited about being able to narrow their campaigns' scope by such finely tuned variables.",
"If Google could get more profiles, it could increase the accuracy of its targeting beyond keywords and browsing data, potentially matching Facebook's level of personal relevance.",
"With the push toward Do Not Track features, including a new privacy bill introduced in the U.S. Congress, who knows how long cookie-based browsing-data gathering will last?",
"In short, Google needs other ways to gather data to target ads, and it needs huge amounts of this data very quickly.",
"What better way to do this than by introducing a compelling search product with a social prerequisite?",
"Whether better-targeted ads from Google will positively impact clickthrough rates and inspire further advertiser confidence remains to be seen.",
"Currently, clickthrough rates for Google AdSense and AdWords campaigns vary widely, with around 30% of advertisers in a SearchEngineRoundtable survey reporting rates of 1% or less.",
"Facebook ads might be underperforming the industry standard of 1%, as well.",
"Socially driven recommendation engines .",
"Facebook Likes are already recognized by brands and businesses as a measurable marketing tool, and Facebook itself has been embraced as a legitimate marketing platform.",
"Likes can act as a social recommendation engine between friends, and these recommendations count a lot when it comes to making purchase decisions.",
"In fact, in a recent survey from Nielsen, 90% of respondents said they had some degree of trust in a recommendation from a friend or family member.",
"Those recommendations count more than consumer reviews or branded websites.",
"In other words, a Facebook Like could count for more than a banner ad when it comes to moving product -- and the Like is free media.",
"Once Google has its +1 wheels in motion, the feature stands to become a social recommendation engine, as well, but a more targeted one.",
"On Facebook, you see Likes for brands, photos, and posts that have nothing to do with you.",
"But on Google, you see personal recommendations for products and places you're actively seeking out.",
"It's a powerful concept, and advertisers will surely want to optimize for that situation.",
"Prosser notes, \"While we can't speak to what other products are doing, we think there's a great deal of value in surfacing personal recommendations and endorsements where they're most valuable, in search ... We've really focused on relevance.",
"When you +1 something, you know your friends will find it in search, but you won't be pushing a notification to everyone.\"",
"As DeepFocus CEO Ian Schafer told us Wednesday, \"When someone is searching for a piece of information about a product, a review, or insightful commentary, it is typically a very insular activity,\" says Schafer.",
"\"But being able to place a 'seal of approval' next to a search result may have the effect of making a typically insular activity more collaborative -- hopefully improving the 'algorithm' through the quality of your connections.\"",
"Search algorithms .",
"The other interesting piece of the puzzle is the SEO question.",
"Google came at search in the 1990s with an algorithmic approach that put it head and shoulders above contemporary UGC engines.",
"Now, it's turning back the clock and allowing user feedback to drive search results once again.",
"Does this mean algorithmic web search has failed?",
"Will user-driven search data be just as gaming-prone as algorithms are?",
"Google communications manager Jake Hubert wrote to us in an email, \"We rely on a fundamentally algorithmic approach to search quality because this is the most scalable way to answer more than a billion search queries each day, many of which we've never seen before, in more than a hundred languages.",
"Google's algorithm is constantly evolving and improving.",
"For example, in 2010 alone we experimented with more than 6,000 changes and launched 490.",
"\"Google will study the clicks on +1 buttons as another ranking signal.",
"As with any new ranking signal, we'll be starting carefully and learning how the signal is related to quality.\"",
"As users begin to see these +1s from friends and others as recommendations in search results, the results will likely become more personalized and hopefully more relevant.",
"And when it comes to search, Facebook Likes -- an unindexed piece of data in a closed network -- don't count for a hill of beans.",
"Who will win the war? Which company will end up with the most users, the most data, the best targeting and the most profit?",
"The answer to that question largely depends on whether +1 can successfully change the game, whether this innocuous little button is actually Google's first killer social product.",
"But regardless, online ad spend is hardly a zero sum game, and both of these companies are setting themselves up for a long-term, multilateral tug of war to capture as much of that market as possible.",

"(Mashable) -- Sir Howard Stringer, CEO of Sony, accidentally told everyone in the world that his company will be supplying image sensors for Apple's iPhone 5.",
"In an interview late Friday with the Wall Street Journal's Walt Mossberg, the Sony chief was talking about earthquake damage to 15 of the Sony's factories in Japan, and inadvertently mentioned that a camera sensor made in one of those plants is on its way to Apple, and that sensor would be delayed because of the quake and tsunami.",
"Stringer didn't specifically say that Sony is building an 8-megapixel image sensor that will go into the iPhone 5, but since Sony is currently not manufacturing any image sensors for Apple, this confirmed that Sony plans to supply components of the iPhone 5.",
"This points to the distinct possibility that in the iPhone 5, Apple will no longer be using those OmniVision 5-megapixel image sensors currently inside the iPhone 4.",
"This is supported by an analyst's report from February of this year saying that OmniVision might lose out on supplying cameras for the iPhone 5 because OmniVision's 8-megapixel sensor won't be ready for the iPhone 5's rumored mid-summer launch.",
"Because Stringer was talking about the irony of supplying the company's best camera to Apple, we can only surmise that he was talking about an 8-megapixel sensor.",
"Here's what The Wall Street Journal wrote about Stringer's quote when reporting on its own event this morning: .",
"Early on, he raised the irony of Sony supplying camera components for Apple devices.",
"It \"always puzzles me,\" he said.",
"\"Why would I make Apple the best camera?\"",
"It is unclear what devices he was talking about as Sony isn't known to supply key camera components, known as image sensors, to Apple; A Sony spokeswoman declined to comment and an Apple spokesperson couldn't be reached for comment.",
"Stringer's inadvertent slip also lends credence to the rumors of a delayed release of the iPhone 5.",

"(CNN) -- Chris Colfer told Piers Morgan that his mother was driving him home from his final audition when he got the call saying he'd landed the role of Kurt Hummel in \"Glee.\"",
"When Morgan asked the actor if he realized that the Fox series would become such a phenomenon, Colfer replied, \"Absolutely not.",

"\"We were just passing Santa Monica Pier,\" Colfer continued.",
"\"And the phone rang and she answered it.",
"And then she just looked at me with that look, and I knew I had it.\"",
"Colfer, whose 21st birthday is Friday, told Morgan that at the time he had been in college for a grand total of two weeks and was working in a dry cleaner at minimum wage.",
"Morgan pointed out the recent barrage of magazines Colfer has graced: Cover of \"Entertainment Weekly,\" two copies of \"The Hollywood Reporter\" and a spot on \"Time\" magazine's list of Most Influential People.",
"\"It's so surreal,\" Colfer told the CNN host.",
"\"That, whenever I have a minute to myself and I stop and think about it, I get so lost in this cloud nine world that it -- it's so hard to come back down from it.\"",
"When Morgan asked Colfer when he realized his life was never going to be the same, the actor said it was \"the first time I was recognized, or maybe it was the first time that I drove up to Paramount Studios and had a place for my car to go.\"",
"Colfer recalled how special it was to cruise through the iconic studio gates.",
"When Morgan asked Colfer what celebrity icons he looked up to as a kid, the actor said that while he mostly inspired himself along the way and didn't latch on to heroes, \"everyone wants to be Lady Gaga at one point or the other.\"",
"When Morgan argued that he has never wanted to be Lady Gaga, Colfer countered, \"Now you're lying.",
"Everyone wants to be Lady Gaga.\"",
"Colfer admitted that he's always wanted to be Oprah Winfrey, proclaiming, \"Who wouldn't want to be Oprah Winfrey, are you kidding?",

".\" When Morgan asked for a straight answer, Colfer responded, \"Yes!",
"Oh, God, yes!",
"Yes! And those individuals, I just -- it's almost like you want to say, 'Suck it' to them, like, right there.\"",
"The bullying didn't stop with \"Glee,\" as Colfer admitted that he stopped Googling himself altogether as of September 2009 after reading hurtful, often homophobic statements that he referred to as \"high school all over again.\"",
"Morgan asked Colfer, who attended the White House Correspondents' Dinner on April 30, what happened when he met right-wing politicians at the dinner who vote against gay rights.",
"\"Oh, everyone loves 'Glee,'\" exclaimed Colfer.",
"\"Everyone loves 'Glee.'",
"Everyone loves me in 'Glee,' and it's hysterical.\"",
"\"And you know that,\" said Morgan.",
"\"You quietly know they're all voting against gay rights.\"",
"Colfer told Morgan that while he is aware that many of the political leaders who request photo-ops with him do vote against gay rights, he gladly poses for pictures with them regardless, in the hopes that the next time a gay-related issue comes along, they don't say, \"No, that gay kid from 'Glee' didn't give me a picture, I'm going to vote no.",

"(Wired) -- The Mac App Store has launched, freshly stocked with over 1,000 OS X applications.",
"The store comes as part of an OS X update, version 10.6.6, and is a standalone application rather than being yet another add-on to the already creaking and bloated iTunes.",
"The store works a lot like the iOS App Store we know already: You sign in with your Apple I.D and then you can shop.",
"Buy a Mac app and the payment is charged to your registered credit card account, and the app downloads automatically and is placed in the applications folder, with a convenient shortcut placed in the dock (the icon actually leaps from the Store window and lands in the dock -- neat).",
"This is clearly aimed at novice users who may never have actually downloaded and installed third-party software before, and the interface will be instantly familiar to anyone who has used the App Store in iTunes or on an iPad.",
"That said, there is plenty for power-users, too.",
"Apple's flagship photo-editing software, Aperture, is in the store for just $80.",
"You can still buy it from the conventional Apple Store, but it'll cost the usual $200.",
"That's quite a saving.",
"The iWork office suite is in there, too, although it remains the '09 version, not a new '11 update many were hoping for.",
"The three iWork apps, Pages, Numbers and Keynote, cost $20 apiece, a saving on the usual $80 bundle price.",
"If you already have these installed on your Mac, the App Store detects this and shows them as \"installed\", just like on the iPad.",
"There are also free apps -- the slick new Twitter, for example, which is the long awaited v2.0 of Tweetie for Mac -- as well as some old favorites (\"Angry Birds\" is quite something on a 27-inch iMac screen).",
"There are no trials in the Mac App Store, and submissions are subject to strict rules, just like the iOS store.",
"It appears that some of these can be waived, though.",
"Twitter is clearly using custom, non standard user interface elements and it is featured on the front page.",
"Apple is clearly playing somewhat by its own rules here, too.",
"No trial versions are are allowed in the store, so developers have to host them on their own sites.",
"Apple has abided, and the trial for the iWork suite is on the main Apple site .",
"I predict that the store is going to be huge.",

"(Fast Company) -- According to a study by the Pew Internet & American Life Project, nearly half of all 12-year-olds in the U.S. are using social network sites, despite not meeting the minimum age requirements for sites like Facebook.",
"And such popularity only balloons once the teens grow older: roughly 64% of 13-year-olds are social networking; between the ages of 14 to 17, that figure jumps to 82%, says Pew.",
"But that doesn't mean Facebook isn't trying to stop kids from becoming addicted to the network at such a young age (though indoctrination does have its benefits!).",
"According to a report by the Daily Telegraph, Facebook is kicking out roughly 20,000 underage users per day.",

"\"Facebook removes 20,000 people a day, people who are underage.\"",
