"(CNN)\"We cannot kill our way out of this war,\" State Department spokesperson Marie Harf said on Tuesday.",
"\"We need in the medium to longer term to go after the root causes that leads people to join these groups, whether it's lack of opportunity for jobs ...\"",
"Since then, Harf has been attacked by conservatives, particularly for her jobs remarks.",
"But she's right in her assessment.",
"And, I would suggest, she should have gone further: There's reason to think that bombing is exactly what ISIS wants us to do.",
"Why else would they be goading us into it?",
"It's called \"terrorism\" for a reason.",
"The goal is to cause terror, to scare people into acting -- or overreacting.",
"The most recent ISIS propaganda video was produced in English for a reason.",
"It seems they want the West to react and take the bait.",
"And we are obliging.",
"Months ago, a war-weary United States was suddenly whipped back into a pro-military-action frenzy.",
"Why?",
"Writing in Mother Jones, Kevin Drum, explained: \"All it took was a carefully stagecrafted beheading video and the usual gang of conservative jingoists to exploit it.\"",
"Longtime defense analyst Kenneth Brower made a similar point: \"A YouTube video of a beheading forces the U.S. president to go to 'war' in order to avoid being called weak by his domestic political opposition.",
"That's not leadership!",
"Worse, the so-called hawks push for deeper involvement irrespective of military reality.",
"They live in a fantasy world of U.S. military exceptionalism.\"",
"ISIS then beheaded a British journalist, so the British stepped up its military support in the campaign against ISIS.",
"Then ISIS goaded Jordan with a video of the hideous immolation of a Jordanian pilot.",
"Jordan responded with bombs.",
"Now ISIS has just goaded Egypt with a mass execution ... and Egypt has, predictably, responded.",
"Anyone who doesn't see a pattern here isn't looking.",
"Yes, the violent terrorism of ISIS is medieval and inhumane.",
"That doesn't mean it can't also be rational.",
"And this is where the assessment of Harf and the Obama administration -- and Republicans calling for even further military action -- falls short of the mark.",
"Not only can we not kill our way out of this war, but killing may exacerbate the situation.",
"Why would ISIS goad the world to attack it?",
"To be legitimized as a forceful threat, while at the same time provoking actions that lead to more civilian casualties when nations strike back.",
"This provokes more rage at the West and its regional allies, drawing more martyrs and sympathizers to the terrorist cause.",
"And we are playing into ISIS' hands: In Syria, ISIS had to put up giant screens to show its beheading videos.",
"But in the West, mainstream media is doing it for them, covering ISIS propaganda as 24/7 fear- mongering under the banner of news.",
"Effective counterterrorism strategy begins with not doing what the terrorists want us to do.",
"But right now, we are the dog being wagged by the tail of ISIS."

"(CNN) -- Affectionately known in his home city of Madrid as \"the wise man of Hortaleza,\" Luis Aragones left the legacy of helping Spain's ascension to the top of world football.",
"Aragones, whose death at the age of 75 was announced Saturday, coached his national side to the European Championship title in 2008 -- the country's first success at a major tournament in more than 40 years.",
"That breakthrough was continued by his successor Vicente del Bosque, who continued with the \"tiki taka\" passing style Aragones introduced, as \"La Roja\" won the 2010 World Cup and the 2012 European crown.",
"\"Without a doubt, he marked the road in this final successful phase.",
"I felt a great deal of appreciation towards him,\" Del Bosque told the national team's official website.",
"\"I knew he had some health problems, but I never imagined it would lead to this.\"",
"\"Always with us, Luis,\" led the website tribute of Atletico Madrid, the club where Aragones played for a decade between 1964-74 and was head coach on four occasions, most recently 2001-03.",
"He guided Atletico to the La Liga title in 1977 and the Spanish Cup on three occasions.",
"\"Luis Aragones was a great player and coach, but before all that a great person and a friend,\" said the team's president Enrique Cerezo.",
"\"First and foremost he was Atletico.",
"We want to express on behalf of the whole club our condolences to his family.\"",
"Aragones' final coaching job was with Turkish side Fenerbahce, which ended in mid-2009, and late last year he announced his retirement from the game -- in which he started out at Getafe in 1957.",
"He was reportedly taken to a Madrid hospital last week with a serious illness, from which he did not recover.",
"Aragones will be buried at a private ceremony on Sunday.",
"Atletico will observe a minute's silence ahead of the home match against Real Sociedad, in which the team will seek to go top of the table above another of his former teams, Barcelona.",
"\"I wish to express our sorrow at the loss of one of football's greatest men and one of the most charismatic and likeable managers we remember,\" Barca president Josep Maria Bartomeu said before his side's 3-2 defeat by Valencia -- its first at home in the league since April 2012.",
"\"As a club, we had the honor of his services, albeit for a very short time, in the 1987-88 season, when we won the Spanish Cup.",
"\"We much appreciate his respect for Barca, its model and our players.",
"Euro 2008, with Puyol, Xavi, Iniesta and so many others, is a great example.\"",
"Aragones' appreciation of Barca's \"tiki taka\" style -- started by Johann Cruyff and developed by Pep Guardiola -- was borne out by the number of the players from the Catalan club he selected for the national team."

"\"They were trying to meet the quota, and they were 300 passengers short,\" said Pierson, who saw an ad placed by the airport advertising the free flights.",
"Since the difference between 10,000 and 9,999 is the difference between $1 million and $150,000 in federal funds, airport managers in Clarksburg and other small towns do whatever they can to get over that number.",
"In Kearney, Nebraska, residents get to take aerial tours of the city's Christmas lights for $15.",
"In Altoona, Pennsylvania, residents got free 10-minute flights to reach the local airfield's goal of 10,000 passengers.",
"Sen. Tom Coburn, an Oklahoma Republican who is a frequent critic of federal spending, said \"about 40\" airports are believed to offer similar flight programs to reach the threshold, which was set by Congress.",
"Coburn is asking the FAA and the Government Accountability Office, the investigative arm of Congress, to come up with a definitive figure.",
"\"The whole purpose for that isn't to say what you're doing is illegal -- it's probably not -- but to have a more cogent policy that truly represents the needs based on enplanements for every airport,\" Coburn said.",
"He said federal support for small airports like Clarksburg's \"should be earned in terms of grant process,\" not by gaming the system.",
"\"We created the incentive to kind of weasel on it so you can get more money, and it's exacerbated now because of the economic downturn,\" Coburn said.",
"Clarksburg is about 200 miles west of Washington and about 110 miles south of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where most area residents catch flights when they travel by air.",
"But airport director Rick Rock said an economic benefit analysis said the facility contributes about $395 million into the local economy, \"So I definitely think there's no question that we need this airport.\"",
"In addition to the $1 million based on passenger traffic, the Clarksburg airport got $30 million to lengthen its runway in 1999 and another $1.6 million from the Obama administration's economic stimulus bill in 2009.",
"Local students get free flights to Washington for school trips as well, Rock said.",
"And the airport just got another $150,000 grant from the FAA to promote itself."

"For decades Istanbul has been growing at a breakneck speed; its population exceeding -- by some estimates -- 15 million people.",
"Too bad traffic often moves at a snail's pace.",
"Most residents are quick to tell visitors the city's transport system is overwhelmed.",
"\"Istanbul is a dynamically changing city, every year increasing in population,\" says Zeynep Buket, an engineer working with Turkey's transportation ministry.",
"\"We are in need of radical systems, and this radical system is a mass transit system.\"",
"The \"radical system\" city planners embarked on five years ago involved construction of a new subway tunnel beneath the Bosphorus Strait, the spectacular body of water that cuts this city in two.",
"By the year 2025, engineers predict more than one million people a day will use the tunnel to travel between Istanbul's Asian and European shores.",
"\"We will connect two continents, Asia and Europe,\" said Nusret Ilbay, one of the many engineers working on the $3 billion Marmaray Tunnel Project.",
"He was standing on scaffolding, overlooking a gaping 30-meter deep hole that will one day be a subway station on the Asian side of the Bosphorus.",
"A concrete wall is all that holds back a churning river of sea water.",
"Watch video of the tunnel being constructed .",
"\"As you can see, some leakage on the wall face has been observed,\" Ilbay explained on a tour of the construction site.",
"\"In order to overcome these leakages, we have applied chemical grouting.\"",
"Legend has it, thousands of years ago Jason and the Argonauts narrowly escaped death sailing up the Bosphorus in search of the mythological Golden Fleece.",
"Today, engineers face equally daunting challenges building a tunnel beneath one of the world's busiest shipping channels, at depths of up to 55 meters, in an active earthquake zone.",
"First they dredged a trench on the bottom of the Bosphorus.",
"Then, using divers and undersea cameras, they submerged and buried 11 massive pre-fabricated tunnel segments, almost all of them longer than a football field.",
"To enter the unfinished tunnel, visitors must climb down a steep staircase in a construction tower surrounded by water in the middle of the strait.",
"During the descent, the temperature plummets and humidity rises.",
"Construction workers toil here in the gloom of this 1.4 kilometer long tube on the bottom of the sea, their welding torches spraying showers of sparks in the darkness.",
"One worker claimed that during the lunch break, when the machinery came to a stop, he could hear the sound of oil tanker and cargo ships' engines as they motored past in the waters overhead."

"A Florida exterminator and father of four children adopted from Florida's foster care system has told police that a body found in the pest-control truck he was driving is one of them -- his 10-year-old daughter, authorities said Wednesday.",
"Jorge Barahona, 53, already faces a charge of aggravated child abuse for injuries to the dead girl's twin, Victor, who was also found in the truck, which was parked on the side of I-95 near West Palm Beach, Florida, officials said.",
"According to a probable-cause affidavit filed by the West Palm Beach Police Department, a roadside assistance ranger with the Florida Department of Transportation stopped to check the red Toyota pickup Monday around 5:30 a.m. and found the 10-year-old boy inside next to an open gas can.",
"The boy \"appeared to be in respiratory distress and (was) trembling\" and his clothing \"was soaked with an unknown chemical,\" the affidavit said.",
"The ranger then found Barahona on the ground beside the truck and called for help.",
"The boy was hospitalized in intensive care with severe burns to his abdomen, upper thighs and buttocks, the affidavit said.",
"While examining the boy, doctors noted he had sustained previous injuries, including a broken collarbone, a broken arm, scarring to his buttocks and lower abdomen, and ligature marks on both wrists, police said.",
"After Barahona and his son were taken to a hospital, a worker decontaminating the truck discovered the body of the girl, wrapped in a plastic bag, the document said.",
"Barahona told police he was distraught over the death of his daughter, and had intended to commit suicide by dousing himself with gasoline and setting himself afire, the affidavit said.",
"Barahona said he didn't go through with his suicide plan because his son was with him, the document added.",
"\"Basically, to paraphrase, he was stating that he placed his daughter in a plastic bag being distraught over her death,\" West Palm Beach Police Spokesman Chase Scott told reporters.",
"\"He drove here from South Florida accompanied by his son, Victor.",
"He then pulled off to the side of the road saying that he poured gas on his self, intending to light himself on fire.",
"His son's head was in his lap and he decided, after giving his son some sleeping pills, that he wasn't going to do that.\"",
"Barahona told police that he doused himself with gasoline and inadvertently got some on the boy, Police Capt.",
"Mary Olsen said.",
"But, she added, the man's story doesn't add up -- there was no gasoline on the boy.",
"Instead, he was covered with another chemical whose composition had yet to be determined.",
"\"That's why we're still treating this as a hazmat (hazardous materials case),\" she said.",
"Scott said the chemicals were so potent that staff caring for the boy at the hospital became ill as well, he said.",
"Victor, who was transferred Wednesday morning to a specialized burn unit at Miami's Jackson Memorial Hospital, has not been able to talk to investigators because he is on a breathing tube, she said."

"BEIJING, China (CNN) --",
"When Jimmy Wales visited the headquarters of Hudong.com last month, he had one question for its founder: is it possible for Wikipedia to be the number one online encyclopedia in China?",
"Don't call me Jimmy: Pan Haidong, head of Hudong.com, the largest Chinese encyclopedia website.",
"\"Absolutely not,\" was the response of Pan Haidong, head of Hudong.com, the world's largest Chinese encyclopedia website.",
"\"Because there is Hudong here in China.",
"Of course we are a copycat of Wikipedia but we have a lot of innovations, and we do a lot of work here in China so it is totally different actually,\" Pan told CNN.",
"It's been a year since China's government lifted its ban on the Chinese version of U.S.-based Wikipedia yet it remains unclear whether Wikipedia has gained any share of the country's massive Internet readership.",
"Shortly after Wikipedia was launched in China in 2002, the country's Internet censors began to intermittently block access to both Chinese and English versions of the online encyclopedia with the longest ban lasting around three years.",
"In recent months, Wales has held a series of meetings with officials from the State Council Information Office, the government body charged with internet censorship in China, to establish a dialogue between the Wikipedia community and Chinese government.",
"He says they have not discussed why the website was banned.",
"\"We have a friendly relationship,\" Wales told CNN.",
"\"But in terms of getting down to the nitty gritty of what happened, I have no idea.",
"It is not really a big concern.\"",
"What is a big concern for Wales is whether Wikipedia can compete with the country's two homegrown encyclopedia websites that emerged while Wikipedia was blocked: Hudong.com and Baidu Baike, an online knowledge sharing site launched by Baidu, the No. 1 search engine in China.",
"One challenge Wikipedia faces is it lacks the brand recognition in China that is otherwise nearly universal.",
"\"I had an English-speaking, college-educated tour guide [in Beijing], and he asked me what I do?\"",
"Wales told CNN.",
"\"I said, 'I am the founder of Wikipedia.'",
"He had a blank stare.",
"He had no idea what Wikipedia was.",
"This would not happen anywhere else in the world.",
"Everyone knows Wikipedia if they are using the internet.\"",
"Wales said he is trying to mobilize the local Chinese Wikipedia community to spread more awareness about the online encyclopedia but otherwise has not outlined a specific strategy to beat its more entrenched domestic competitors.",
"\"I think I am going to have to come to China a lot and do interviews so people can learn about Wikipedia,\" said Wales.",
"\"Once people come to understand it that will be helpful for our cause.\"",
"'No reason for China to use Wikipedia' Yet Wales' star power alone may not be enough to convert China's 300 million internet users into Wikipedians, or volunteers who run the website.",
"\"There's, in fact, no reason for China to use Wikipedia, a service based 'out there,'\" Baidu's chief scientist William Chang said at a 2008 internet conference in Beijing."

"Beset by war and sectarian violence, Iraq has not had a lot to laugh about in recent years.",
"But a trio of old friends from Baghdad have sought to change that, by distilling the jokey banter of their late-night drinking sessions into a controversial talk show.",
"Hosted by Yasser Sami and Walid Monam, and produced by their friend Ghazwan Al-Shawi, the show is called \"Akou Fad Wahad\" -- \"There is this guy\" -- the typical setup for one of their anecdotes.",
"The aim behind the production, says Al-Shawi, \"was to make people smile.\"",
"\"We wanted to do anything to make miserable and sad people happy,\" he said.",
"But while it's proved a hit with their predominantly male audience, not everyone appreciates their sense of humor.",
"Sami describes the first episode, broadcast in the summer of 2011, as \"very bold.\"",
"\"It got us into a lot of trouble because there was sexual and pornographic innuendos, so it was like a shock for all Iraqis,\" he laughs.",
"Since then, the show has routinely offended the conservative sectors of Iraqi society with its discussion of taboo topics including relationships and sex.",
"A religious group staged a demonstration outside the show's studio last year, and government censors complained about the content.",
"Read more: Arab female film directors find acclaim .",
"Sami said a gang even turned up at his house, threatening him.",
"\"I can't tell you (who) because this means I will give them another chance to come to me again,\" he laughs.",

"A typical gag goes like this: \"A stoned guy bought two birds for his mother, one tweeting and the other silent.",
"She asks, 'Son, why is it that only one of them that is tweeting?' 'Mother, the other one is the composer,' he replied.\"",
"But although the humor may seem mild, Iraq is not yet ready for \"Akou Wad Fahad.\"",
"Sami says the team has had to modify their approach in order to continue broadcasting.",
"\"We changed things in the show,\" he said.",
"\"We used to have a female DJ, but we were asked to remove her from the show, and we did.\"",
"Even in the new Iraq, said Monam, there are still many \"red lines\" that cannot be crossed in entertainment.",
"\"Were it not for the limitations that are imposed on us, it would be a much better show.",
"But we have to live with social taboos,\" he said.",
"Challenging this, he says, is \"impossible,\" at least for now.",

"Federal civil rights investigators have found \"reasonable cause\" to believe that police in Portland, Oregon, use \"unnecessary or unreasonable force\" with persons who have mental illness, the U.S. Justice Department said.",
"The department's civil rights division and U.S. Attorney's Office in Oregon issued a letter to Portland Mayor Sam Adams stating that local and federal authorities will \"continue our collaborative relationship to craft sustainable remedies.\"",
"In the 42-page letter, federal officials outline remedies that include training and new policies to investigate alleged police misconduct.",
"Investigators found cause to believe that the Portland Police Bureau engages in \"a pattern or practice of using excessive force in encounters involving people with actual or perceived mental illness.\"",

Perez and U.S. Attorney Amanda Marshall.",
"\"We also found that PPB employs practices that escalate the use of force where there were clear earlier junctures when the force could have been avoided or minimized.\"",

"-- The police will expand their Mobile Crisis Unit -- composed of an officer and a mental health worker -- \"to ensure availability at all times and enhance non-law enforcement capacity to respond to persons in crisis that do not pose a public safety threat.\"",
"-- The city will establish a mental health desk at its 911 calling center to ensure calls are properly dispatched.",
"-- The city will lead efforts to boost community mental health treatment options, such as establishing a 24-hour secure drop-off and walk-in center, \"that will provide police officers more options when assisting persons experiencing a mental health crisis.\"",
"-- The city will use an early intervention system to identify officers, supervisors and units \"for non-punitive corrective action, and to assess gaps in policy, training, supervision and accountability.\"",
"-- The city will move to speed investigations of complaints about possible officer misconduct.",
"-- A community body composed of representatives of a variety of groups will assess how well the agreement is being implemented, offer recommendations on additional steps, and advise the police chief and Adams on how to improve community relations."

"(CNN) --",
"Having established itself as Apple's top tablet competitor by going smaller and cheaper, Amazon will now go head to head with the category-defining iPad on its own turf.",
"Even as Google's new Nexus 7 challenges the Kindle Fire for dominance in the small-tablet category, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos on Thursday introduced a new, 8.9-inch Kindle Fire HD.",
"That pits the new device, which will ship in late November, against a device with which Apple has, thus far, squashed all direct competition.",
"No tablet that has tried to match the iPad feature-for-feature has gained more than a token foothold in the market.",
"So, how do the latest version of the iPad and the Kindle Fire HD stack up?",
"Because only a few people have gotten their hands on the new device, some questions can't be answered yet.",
"But here's a look at what we do know so far: .",
"Price .",
"The Fire comes out way ahead on this one, as is to be expected from Amazon, which has targeted customers looking for the basic features of a tablet but not willing to pay Apple's heftier price tag.",
"For $499, the cost of the lowest-end iPad (the 16GB, WiFi-only model), a buyer can get a 32GB version of the Fire HD with a 4G LTE connection on an upgraded cellular network.",
"The 16GB version of the Fire comes in at $299, or $200 less than the comparable iPad.",
"Size .",
"While Amazon obviously closed the gap significantly, the iPad still has a bigger screen than the Fire.",
"Apple's iPad screen measures 9.7 inches diagonally, while the Fire is at 8.9 inches.",
"That's less than the difference between the screen sizes on the iPhone 4S and the larger Samsung Galaxy S III smartphones.",
"(There's speculation the iPhone 5 will have a larger screen).",
"But competition between Apple and Amazon could heat up on another front if rumors that Apple plans to release an \"iPad Mini\" turn out to be true.",
"Display .",
"Both tablets feature high-definition screens, although the details vary.",
"The iPad's \"retina display\" featured a total of 3.1 million pixels, with a resolution of 2,048 by 1,536.",
"By contrast, the Fire HD measures 1,920 x 1,200 pixels, with custom features designed to reduce glare and improve color saturation.",
"Both Apple and Amazon boast that the resolution on their tablet is so sharp that it's impossible for the human eye to discern individual pixels.",
"Data plans .",
"Until now, the Kindle Fire has been a WiFi-only device, and some of its new models remain that way.",
"But Bezos announced that the top-end version of the Fire HD is available in 4G. The plan is offered at an attractive price of $50 a year.",
"But that price gets you 250 MB of data per month -- not a lot for a device designed in large part to stream movies and other media.",
"It was unclear Thursday what the charges will be for going over the allotted data."

"Washington (CNN) --",
"Naif Al-Mutawa anticipated a struggle when he launched an Islam-inspired comic book series that he hoped would become a symbol of tolerance.",
"He worried about the comics being banned in Saudi Arabia - which wound up happening, briefly -- and he expected to be challenged by conservatives in Islam, since Al-Mutawa wanted to buck the trend of Islamic culture being directly tied to the Koran.",
"But it wasn't an Islamic cleric that stalled the series, called \"The 99,\" after the 99 attributes of Allah, which the superheroes are supposed to embody.",
"It is the American market, and the voices of Islam's Western critics, that have caused the most problems for \"The 99,\" says Al-Mutawa, who is the focus of a PBS documentary airing next week.",
"In 2010, President Barack Obama called the comic books, which debuted in 2006, \"the most innovative response\" to America's expanding dialogue with the Muslim world, which Obama has encouraged.",
"The series features 99 superheroes from across the globe who team up to combat villains and who embody what Al-Mutawa calls basic human values like trust and generosity.",
"But Al-Mutawa, a Kuwaiti-born clinical psychologist and graduate of Columbia Business School, says a vocal minority have raised surprising questions about American tolerance of Islam.",
"The idea for \"The 99\" started during a conversation in a London cab between Al-Mutawa and his sister.",
"It took off, although slowly, after Al-Mutawa raised $7 million from 54 investors across four continents.",
"The first issue was released during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan in 2006.",
"The comic book was quickly banned in Saudi Arabia and Al-Mutawa received threats of fatwas against him and his project from clerics.",
"But Saudi Arabia eventually lifted the ban and the television adaptation of \"The 99\" will be aired there this year.",
"Al-Mutawa and his team have now raised more than $40 million in venture capital for the project.",
"But when word leaked that The Hub, a Discovery Channel cable and satellite television venture, purchased the series and planned to air it in the United States, the response from conservative bloggers and authors was swift.",
"Pamela Geller, founder of the Atlas Shrugs blog, called the series, part of the \"ongoing onslaught of cultural jihad,\" and created a counter-comic strip that made the 19 hijackers behind the September 11, 2001 attacks the superheroes.",
"New York Post columnist Andrea Peyser, meanwhile, urged readers to \"Hide your face and grab the kids.",
"Coming soon to a TV in your child's bedroom is a posse of righteous, Sharia-compliant Muslim superheroes - including one who fights crime hidden head-to-toe by a burqa.\"",
"According to Al-Mutawa, the criticism spooked The Hub.",
"\"All of a sudden we couldn't get an air date and I was asked to be patient and we have been,\" Al-Mutawa said.",
"\"But it has been a year and the actual push-back died down.\"",
"A spokesperson for The Hub told CNN that \"'The 99' is one of the many shows we have on the possible schedule, but at this time, no decisions have been made about scheduling.\""

"A second Massachusetts compounding pharmacy surrendered its license after state inspectors found \"significant\" issues that could affect sterility, state health officials said.",
"The pharmacy, Infusion Resource, was also found to have a center for giving intravenous medications to patients in violation of state regulations, which require a clinic license, Dr. Madeleine Biondolillo, director of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health Bureau of Healthcare Safety and Quality, said Sunday.",
"The state Board of Pharmacy immediately issued a cease and desist notice to Infusion Resource after the October 23 inspection revealed the violations, she said.",
"Over the weekend, the Department of Public Health \"secured the voluntary surrender of Infusion's pharmacy license.\"",
"The company, which compounds antibiotic and nutritional IV medications for home use, said in a statement it has since recalled all compounded products dispensed in the past month, effecting 38 patients.",
"\"No issues were cited related to the integrity of our products nor to the quality of our compounding practices,\" said Bernard Lambrese, Infusion Resource CEO, in a statement.",
"\"It is correct that Infusion Resource does not have a clinic license from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.",
"The space in our facility is intended for patient education, validation of patient and caregiver skills, medication counseling, medication education, teaching and training.\"",
"What is a compounding pharmacy?",
"Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick said last week the state would immediately begin unannounced inspections of all Massachusetts pharmacies and require that they submit annual reports detailing what they produce and distribute.",
"That announcement came in the wake of the fungal meningitis outbreak that has caused 25 deaths and 354 illnesses, linked to the Massachusetts-based New England Compounding Center.",
"Seven of those illnesses are peripheral joint infections that specifically affect a joint such as a knee, hip, shoulder or elbow.",
"Infusion Resource is not linked to the outbreak.",
"The incident began unfolding September 24, when the department was notified about a cluster of six rare fungal meningitis cases in Tennessee.",
"The patients shared several risk factors, including having received an epidural injection of a steroid -- methylprednisolone acetate -- that had been compounded at the NECC in Framingham.",
"The department soon learned that the suspect product had been distributed to more than 14,000 patients in 23 states.",
"FDA: Drug maker had internal warnings months before meningitis outbreak .",
"The Department of Public Health has asked two other companies -- Ameridose and Alaunus Pharmaceutical -- to cease all pharmacy operations based on their shared ownership and leadership with NECC.",
"\"NECC's transparency in dealing with the board since inception in 1998 demonstrates its good faith intention to operate in compliance with the requirements of its license,\" said Paul Cirel, a Boston-based lawyer representing the compounder, in a statement last week.",
"\"Furthermore, the company's intention and best efforts at compliance are equally applicable in every other state in which it has been licensed.\""

"Atlanta's FBI field division topped Los Angeles in reporting the most bank heists, with 350 for the 12 months ending September 30, 2007, according to the FBI, which annually names areas most prone to bank robberies.",
"The Los Angeles area was No. 2 with 338 heists, followed by Philadelphia with 316.",
"Just Thursday, two suspects overpowered a security guard at an Atlanta, Georgia, bank, took his gun, robbed the bank and fled with money in hand, police said.",
"Eventually, police shot one of the suspects in an exchange of gunfire.",
"Two more armed bank robberies took place in metro Atlanta Friday.",
"The FBI says violent crime is up across the nation, especially in major metro areas like Atlanta.",
"So it's no surprise Atlanta has become a prime target for bank robberies, FBI spokesman Stephen Emmett told CNN.",
"Watch Hotlanta or Heistlanta? » .",
"\"This goes hand in hand with those figures,\" Emmett said.",

"Los Angeles has gone from more than 500 bank robberies in the mid-2000s to this year's 338, the FBI stats show.",
"According to the FBI, its Atlanta field division reported 350 bank robberies in the last year -- the most notorious of which were the \"Barbie Bandits\" and \"Grandpa Bandit\" robberies.",
"The FBI says 122 of the heists were armed robberies, or robberies where a weapon was visibly used.",
"Emmett said many more of the robberies were what law enforcement officers classify as \"note jobs\" -- where a robber gestures as if he or she has a gun on them in a demand note handed over to the teller.",
"Also factored into the total number of robberies were ATM heists and a record nine armored car robberies.",
"Those armored car robberies are particularly disturbing to Emmett.",
"\"Anyone that would confront an armored car courier knowing that he's already armed and in somewhat of a defensive posture, that mindset is very troubling for law enforcement,\" he said.",
"While Emmett said there is no \"typical\" bank robber, he said he has seen some trends, most notably that they are often people battling drug addictions."

"The security strategy acts as a blueprint for how the White House intends to protect Americans.",
"In the past, it has focused mostly on international threats.",
"But National Security Adviser John Brennan explained Wednesday that a spate of terror-related plots in the United States recently prompted the Obama administration to include homegrown terrorism in the document.",
"\"Such a strategy must begin with the recognition that a clear-eyed understanding of our strategic environment -- the world as it is today -- is necessary to shape the world that we seek,\" according to a summary of the plan.",
"\"Currently, the United States is focused on completing a responsible transition in Iraq, succeeding in Afghanistan, and defeating al Qaeda and its terrorist affiliates, while moving our economy from deep recession to enduring recovery.",
"Even as we confront these crises, our national strategy must take a longer view.",

"LONDON, England (CNN) -- Britain's Prince Harry turned 25 Tuesday in the knowledge that he is now entitled to part of the multi-million dollar inheritance left to him by his late mother.",
"Prince Harry is currently training to become a helicopter pilot with the British Army.",
"Harry was just 12 years old when Diana, Princess of Wales, was killed in a car crash in Paris in 1997.",
"His mother left an estate worth £21 million ($35 million), but more than £8 million ($13.31 million) was paid in inheritance tax, leaving around £13 million ($21.6 million) to be shared between Harry and his brother William, who is second in line to the throne, the British Press Association reported.",
"Much of that money is thought to have been invested but it is not known if the economic downturn has affected the amount.",
"Both princes are prevented from spending the lump sum of their inheritance until they turn 30.",
"But Harry will pocket all income generated by his portion of the estate -- around £300,000 ($500,000) a year.",
"Watch more about Prince Harry's birthday windfall » .",
"Prince Harry joined the British Army in 2006 and served in Afghanistan for more than two months from the end of 2007 to early 2008, before being withdrawn after news of his secret deployment leaked out to the media.",
"There had been fears that Harry, who is third in line to the throne, could become a target for Taliban militants.",
"According to British media reports, the prince's deployment was subject to a news blackout deal struck between the Ministry of Defence and newspapers and broadcasters in the UK and abroad.",
"He received a promotion to the rank of lieutenant in April last year and is now training to become a helicopter pilot with the British Army's Air Corps.",
"The young royal has also created a few negative headlines, particularly in Britain's tabloid press, in recent years.",
"In February this year, he was formally disciplined by his Army superiors after videos surfaced showing him using offensive language -- referring to a fellow soldier as a \"Paki\" and another as looking \"like a raghead.\"",
"A spokesman for the prince told CNN: \"Prince Harry has apologized for his comments and has been subjected to normal Army disciplinary procedures.",
"The matter is now closed.\"",
"In a well-publicized gaffe in 2005, Harry apologized after he was photographed wearing a Nazi uniform at a party.",
"\"It was a very stupid thing to do and I've learned my lesson, simple as that really,\" he said in an interview marking his 21st birthday.",

"(CNN) --",
"The flight data and cockpit voice recorders from JetBlue Flight 191, which made an emergency landing this week, have been retrieved and will be analyzed, officials said Thursday.",
"The National Transportation Safety Board will download the data Friday, said spokeswoman Kelly Nantel.",
"Information gleaned from them will be given to the FBI, she said.",
"Investigators are looking into the apparent midair meltdown of the captain, Clayton Osbon, whose remarks and erratic behavior Tuesday led the co-pilot to lock him out of the cockpit.",
"Crew and passengers subdued Osbon as he screamed and banged on the door so hard the first officer thought Osbon would come through, according to a federal criminal complaint filed Wednesday against Osbon.",
"The complaint says Osbon began making remarks during the flight that concerned the first officer, who is his co-pilot.",
"\"Osbon yelled over the radio to air traffic control and instructed them to be quiet.",
"Osbon turned off the radios in the aircraft, dimmed his monitors and sternly admonished the FO (first officer) for trying to talk on the radio,\" the U.S. attorney's office in the Northern District of Texas said in a written statement.",
"\"When Osbon said 'we need to take a leap of faith,' the FO stated that he became very worried.",
"Osbon told the FO that 'we're not going to Vegas,' and began giving what the FO described as a sermon.\"",
"It was not immediately known whether the alleged remarks are audible on the voice recorder.",
"But federal regulations state that planes manufactured since 1991 must record cockpit chatter on microphones.",
"The JetBlue plane was new and would be subject to the rule.",
"The cockpit voice recorder captures two hours of data and the flight data recorder, which measures the plane's speed and altitude, contains 25 hours.",
"About 3½ hours into the planned five-hour flight from New York's Kennedy International Airport to Las Vegas, the pilot left the cockpit to use the lavatory, but he failed to follow security protocol, alarming the crew, according to an affidavit filed in support of an arrest warrant.",
"He then banged on the lavatory door and told the female passenger inside that he needed to go to the bathroom.",
"By that time, the first officer had summoned another JetBlue pilot who had been traveling as a passenger to enter the cockpit and the two locked themselves inside, the affidavit states.",
"From the cabin, Osbon tried to enter his security code to gain access to the cockpit \"and he banged on the door hard enough that the FO thought he was coming through the door,\" according to the affidavit.",
"But the door held and, over the PA, the first officer ordered passengers to restrain Osbon.",
"Several did just that, subduing the pilot in the forward galley.",
"Osbon, who was been charged with interfering with a flight crew, has not made a public statement.",
"He has been suspended pending an investigation and is receiving medical treatment, the airline said Wednesday.",
"A court official said Osbon was still under care Thursday."

"Rhode Island resident Lisa Kondvar remembers her mother as a beautiful, small and vivacious blonde.",
"So she was shocked to see the body of a tall brunette woman lying in the open casket at her mother's wake in New Jersey on December 9.",
"Right away, the tears and the crying stopped.",
"Kondvar and her family immediately closed the casket and left the room, she said.",
"\"It wasn't mom,\" Kondvar said.",
"\"They sent us the wrong body.\"",
"Her mother, Margaret Porkka, was vacationing in St. Maarten on the family's annual Thanksgiving trip when Porkka suddenly died after feeling light-headed.",
"Porkka, 82, was pronounced dead at St. Maarten Medical Center on November 29, the morning after Thanksgiving.",
"Other than a pacemaker and a right hip replacement, Kondvar said, her mother was in good health and very active.",
"\"It didn't make sense.",
"She was full of life,\" Kondvar said.",
"\"My mother was a picture of health.",
"She ran circles around me.\"",
"Kondvar said her family was told their mother's body had been taken to Emerald Funeral Home in St. Maarten, where the funeral director denied their request to see their mother and demanded a $7,000 wire-transfer-only fee to send the body back to the United States.",
"\"That gave me a red flag,\" Kondvar told CNN.",
"\"When I hear 'wire transfer,' I get cautious.\"",
"Eager to get their mother's body back on American soil and not knowing of any alternative, the family wired the money and left their mother's passport, necessary information for the death certificate, and a set of clothes for the funeral services.",
"The body that arrived in a casket at the New Jersey funeral home on December 6 was not her mother, Kondvar said.",
"But the body was dressed in Porkka's clothing and was accompanied by her passport and death certificate.",
"The casket also had a small, red-velvet pouch containing jewelry and items that Kondvar said did not belong to her mother.",
"\"There was a medical bracelet that said 'angina.'",
"My mother didn't have angina,\" she told CNN.",
"Now, Kondvar and her family want answers, and they want their mother back, she said.",
"\"It pains me that she's gone, and it's even worse because I don't have her",
"and I want to hold her one more time, and I can't do that,\" Kondvar said.",
"Repeated calls to St. Maarten Medical Center and Emerald Funeral Home over the weekend were not returned.",
"Kondvar said she hasn't heard from the hospital or the funeral home since leaving St. Maarten.",
"Kondvar, who is a nurse, said she contacted U.S. Sen. Jack Reed, D-Rhode Island, for help.",
"Reed, a personal friend of Kondvar, has been in touch with the U.S. consulate in St. Maarten and is closely monitoring the situation, according to Reed's spokesman, Chip Unruh.",

"Washington (CNN) -- House Democrats are bracing for a rough election night next Tuesday, and top leaders are making a major push for rank and file members to open their wallets to help save those vulnerable Democrats who are in danger of losing their seats.",
"House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi and Rep Steve Israel, D-New York, chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, held a conference call Tuesday afternoon with House Democrats and told them it was time to pony up -- and gave them a Friday deadline.",
"According to a source on the call, a dozen House members and two Democratic candidates pledged almost $500,000 during the session.",
"Several Democratic sources told CNN that members are expecting Republicans to pick up some seats, but they still believe that many House Democrats in competitive districts are positioned to survive if they get support.",
"The DCCC has invested heavily in field operations with 950 staff in 40 districts.",
"But the surge of outside money from GOP groups on new television and radio spots, combined with contributions from several wealthy GOP candidates, has Democrats concerned.",
"In a memo circulated to House Democrats, the DCCC chairman argued that the uptick in GOP spending by outside groups was something the committee was prepared to counter.",
"Israel wrote that despite the effort by Republicans and their allies, \"not a single Democratic incumbent is out of contention.",
"This is a stark contrast from 2010, where many incumbents were already down and out despite our best efforts.\"",
"But Israel also said, \"This climate is incredibly challenging and only getting harder.\"",
"So, with seven days left before the midterms, the leaders stepped up the pressure on members to give now.",
"The DCCC has consistently out-raised its GOP counterpart over the course of the 2014 election cycle.",
"According to the Center for Responsive Politics, House Democrats have raised over $172 million for the midterms, while House Republicans have raised about $131 million.",
"For Democrats, much of the money has been brought in by top leaders like Pelosi, Israel and Rep Steny Hoyer, the No. 2 House Democrat.",
"The purpose of the call on Tuesday was to make it clear that they expect others, especially those who were given plum committee posts by their leaders, to lend a hand.",
"There are always members in both parties who sit on money in their campaign accounts at the end of an election cycle.",
"Some of these members might be considering a bid for the Senate or governor, or may be reluctant to share the cash with their colleagues.",
"But the ones who spent hours hosting fundraisers and trekking over to the Democratic headquarters to dial donors for dollars are frustrated with colleagues who don't reach their targets and don't seem to suffer major repercussions.",

"The Texas jury that found polygamist sect leader Warren Jeffs guilty Thursday of sexual assault will deliberate again to determine his punishment.",
"Jeffs, who represented himself after firing his defense team, remained stoic as the verdict was read.",
"Jurors will decide his fate after hearing additional witness testimony in the penalty phase of the trial, which began Thursday evening and will continue Friday.",
"The sect leader faces a maximum sentence of life in prison for his conviction of sexually assaulting a 12-year-old and a 15-year-old who were his \"spiritual wives.\"",
"The jury convicted him of two counts of sexual assault on a child -- charges that stemmed from a 2008 raid on a ranch his church operates near Eldorado, Texas.",
"Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott hailed the verdict and said prosecutors were seeking a life sentence for Jeffs.",
"\"Here in the state of Texas, juries render tough, swift justice against anyone who would sexually assault a child,\" he said.",
"Before the verdict, witnesses showed jurors DNA evidence they said showed Jeffs conceived a baby with a 15-year-old child.",
"And prosecutors presented an audio recording that they alleged documents Jeffs' sexual assault of a 12-year-old girl in the presence of three other \"wives.\"",
"Abbott said attorneys were presenting new, \"repulsive\" evidence about the sect leader during the trial's penalty phase.",
"\"I think it will confirm in (jurors') minds why they convicted the man and why they want to put him behind bars for a long time,\" he said.",

"The trial was scheduled to continue at 10 a.m. Friday (11 a.m. ET).",
"Jurors deliberated for three hours and 45 minutes, starting Thursday afternoon.",
"They sent out two notes during deliberations, requesting a CD player to listen to audio recordings and asking for the transcript of testimony from a witness.",
"Jeffs stood silently for most of his 30-minute closing argument Thursday -- the latest dramatic twist in a trial that included frequent objections and sermonlike speeches about religious freedom.",
"Jeffs stared at the table in front of him for most of his allotted block of time during closing arguments, as Judge Barbara Walther counted down.",
"He looked up at the jury when he reached the 20-minute mark, staring at each member.",
"The jurors stared back.",
"Five minutes later, Jeffs mumbled, \"I am at peace.\"",
"The leader of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints spoke so quietly that people in the courtroom strained to hear him.",
"Prosecutor Eric Nichols warned jurors not to be swayed by Jeffs' frequent invocations of religious freedom as a defense.",
"The case, he said, has nothing to do with an attack on religion.",
"Instead, it is about Jeffs and his actions, Nichols argued.",
"He showed pictures of Jeffs' alleged victims as he summed up his argument.",

"The Western Australian government caught 172 sharks, and killed 50 of the largest animals, as part of a culling program that has sparked anger among conservationists.",
"The three-month program, which ended last week, used baited lines attached to floating drums to catch sharks off popular beaches in Western Australia following a spate of fatal shark attacks in waters off the state in recent years.",
"The scheme, which was part of the state's $20 million shark mitigation policy, allowed for tiger, bull and great white sharks measuring longer than 10 feet (3 meters) hooked on the drum lines to be destroyed.",
"Some 50 tiger sharks longer than 10 feet were killed between January 25 and April 30.",
"The largest one, which measured 14.8 feet (4.5 meters), was caught in February off Perth's Floreat beach.",
"Not the right culprits?",
"But none of the creatures captured were great white sharks, the species believed to be responsible for most of the recent fatal attacks in Western Australia, which have left seven people dead in the past three years.",
"Under the program, another 14 sharks measuring less than 10 feet died on the drum line and four more were destroyed because they were too weak to survive, according to the government's figures published Wednesday.",
"Western Australia's Fisheries Minister Ken Baston hailed the shark mitigation policy a success, saying it was restoring confidence among beachgoers and contributing to research about shark behavior.",
"\"The human toll from shark attacks in recent years has been too high,\" Baston said in a statement released to the media.",
"\"While of course we will never know if any of the sharks caught would have harmed a person, this government will always place greatest value on human life,\" the minister said.",
"Conservationist's nightmare .",
"But the scheme has been criticized by environmentalists who say the sea predators should remain protected species.",
"\"Of the 172 sharks that were caught on the drum line, the majority were tiger sharks which haven't been involved in shark fatalities for decades in Western Australia,\" Sea Shepherd shark campaigner Natalie Banks told CNN.",
"More than 70% of the creatures caught on the drum line weren't large enough to be considered a threat or were other animals, like stingrays, Banks said.",
"While monitoring the government program, Sea Shepherd found that sharks released alive were in a \"state of shock\" known as tonic immobility and sank to the ocean floor, she said.",
"Hi-tech initiative .",
"As part of its shark research and protection policy, the Western Australian Department of Fisheries is working on a satellite-linked shark tagging program that allows beach safety authorities to know, through near real-time alerts, if a tagged shark is in the vicinity.",
"Under the three-month cull scheme, 90 sharks were tagged before being released alive.",
"Other animals caught on the line were freed, including seven stingrays and a north-west blowfish.",
"Beach closures due to shark sightings were also down this year, according to government figures.",
"There were 93 closures in 2013-14, compared to 131 the previous season."

"Kauto Star is not in contention for Rio 2016.",
"Britain has one of the world's leading dressage teams and no matter his racing pedigree, there simply isn't the time to bring him up to the required standard.",

"Owner Clive Smith sent Kauto Star to Collett's Wiltshire yard in December 2012, against the wishes of the horse's longtime trainer, Paul Nicholls.",
"The dispute over the horse's future brought to an end a partnership responsible for almost a dozen major victories on the racecourse, a career bettered only by 1960s legends Arkle and Flyingbolt.",

"The Internet was designed to have no central point of failure, allowing anyone to run his or her own communications channel.",
"This was a system that could withstand a nuclear attack.",
"Today, the services built on top of that network have done a great job in enabling communications, perhaps none more dramatically than Twitter.",
"During the days since the Haiti earthquake, the popular social networking and microblogging service has been used for rescue efforts and for fundraising to help stabilize and rebuild the country.",

"Not at all.",
"There's no reason that organizations or individuals who want to use the Web to relay critical information have to rely on Twitter or Facebook or Google or any other giant of the technology industry in the first place.",
"We've just forgotten a bit about how the Internet was supposed to work.",
"Rescue organizations and charities should simply be able to use the Web sites they already have to deliver those messages.",
"And wasn't that the promise of the Web in the first place?",
"Weren't we going to stop relying on individual companies as gatekeepers for communication?",
"When blogs took off a few years ago, wasn't it with the promise that we'd all be able to share our voices without having to ask any company for permission?",
"Why did we give that up?",
"Maybe it's because they made it look so easy.",
"Twitter has done an impressive job of growing to handle its enormous number of users, while keeping its service simple.",
"The company has even shown a reassuring sensitivity to the civic and social obligations that come from running such a popular communication service.",
"Companies such as Facebook and Google have stepped up, too.",
"Their hearts appear to be in the right place, and they're doing real work to help people communicate.",
"But the Web is bigger than any one site or any one social network.",
"In my own work, I run a nonprofit that strives to connect government policymakers to the expertise of ordinary people using the Web.",

"So we thought Asian kids did great in school.",
"Think again.",
"A new study suggests that women and minorities are less likely to receive early support from potential academic mentors.",
"Researchers from Wharton, Columbia and NYU ran an interesting field experiment: Pretending to be students, they e-mailed more than 6500 professors at top U.S. universities admiring each professor's work and asking to meet.",
"The e-mails were all identical except for the senders' names.",
"Names that one can associate with a gender or race -- like Brad Anderson, Meredith Roberts, LaToya Brown, Juanita Martinez, Deepak Patel, Sonali Desai, Chang Wong, and Mei Chen -- were used.",
"The researchers found that faculty were most likely to respond to e-mails from white males.",
"But more surprising was the high level of racial bias against Asians and Indians -- professors were likeliest to ignore e-mails from these students.",
"One of the researchers noted, \"We see tremendous bias against Asian students and that's not something we expected. ...",
"A lot of people think of Asians as a model minority group.",
"We expect them to be treated quite well in academia.\"",
"The study highlights the pernicious nature of the \"model minority\" stereotype of Asians, and the fact that Asians are still viewed as the most foreign \"other\" in our American culture -- perhaps the biggest outsiders in the politics of \"not like us.\"",
"A common refrain I hear from well-meaning friends and colleagues is: \"What's so bad about the Asian stereotype?",
"Seems to me Asians have done all right.\"",
"I get it.",
"As a woman of color, I'm keenly aware that on the spectrum of bias, there are plenty of worse things to be called than good at school.",
"It doesn't sound so terrible to be thought of as hardworking or quiet when there are so many more obviously sinister racial myths out there to bust.",
"But the flip side of the model minority myth is an assumption that Asians do just fine and don't need any mentoring or help in the academic or professional world.",
"Whether due to bias or mere lack of interest, the professors in the study treated Asian and Indian students differently despite their reputation for academic achievement.",
"And this lack of mentorship while in school may lead to an achievement gap in the workplace.",
"There's still a huge disparity between the percentage of Asians graduating at the top of their class from the best schools in the country and the percentage of Asians who go on to achieve top leadership positions in their chosen fields.",
"Disturbingly, I have heard thoughtful colleagues wonder aloud whether the underrepresentation of Asians in senior leadership roles is due to systemic, external factors that should be addressed with reform in the workplace, or whether it's Asians who are responsible for taking themselves out of the C-suite pipeline because \"they're just happy being the worker bees.\""

"Washington (CNN) -- President Barack Obama has approved the use of armed Predator drones in Libya, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Thursday.",
"Gates suggested that the unmanned Predator missions may have already begun.",
"He said he believed that the first flights were launched Thursday but were called back due to poor weather.",
"\"The president has said that where we have some unique capabilities, he is willing to use those,\" Gates said.",
"\"And I think that today may in fact have been their first mission.\"",
"Gates said the Predator drones offer a \"modest contribution\" to NATO efforts to support rebels fighting embattled Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi's forces there, though Gadhafi is not a specific target.",
"Unmanned aerial vehicles offer more precise targeting, because their low-flying capability allows for better visibility, \"particularly on targets now that have started to dig themselves into defensive positions,\" Gates said.",
"He said the drones are needed for humanitarian reasons, and they have capabilities that larger aircraft such as A-10s and C-130s cannot provide.",
"Vice Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. James Cartwright said the added precision is necessary because forces loyal to Gadhafi \"nestle up in crowded areas\" to maximize civilian casualties.",
"\"It's very difficult to identify friend from foe,\" Cartwright said, noting that the drones facilitate identification of individuals on the ground.",
"Remote Predator operators are now permitted to strike Gadhafi's defense missions, including air defense, missile and radar sites.",
"Predator strikes are also authorized for civilian protection and can hit Gadhafi's troops, military installations and equipment in the field.",
"The U.S. employed the use of unmanned drones early in the NATO campaign, but they were intended for surveillance only and not authorized to fire."

"(CNN) --",
"All five remaining inmates held in the Mississippi pardons controversy have now been released from prison.",
"Mississippi's Supreme Court last week upheld the controversial pardons of more than 200 convicts that former Gov. Haley Barbour granted on his way out of office, rejecting a challenge by the state's attorney general.",
"In a 77-page, 6-3 ruling Thursday afternoon, the court found the pardons \"may not be set aside or voided by the judicial branch.\"",
"Attorney General Jim Hood argued that no proper notice had been posted in newspapers, but the court found the final decision rested \"solely with the governor.\"",
"\"We are mindful that the victims and their families are entitled to be interested in the subject matter of this case, and they are undoubtedly -- and understandably -- concerned with its outcome,\" Justice Jess Dickinson wrote for the majority.",
"But in the cases before them, it was up to the governor to \" decide whether the Constitution's publication requirement was met.\"",
"In a statement after the court ruling, Barbour said it \"reaffirmed more than a century of settled law in our state,\" but acknowledged that his decision has been difficult for many of the inmates' victims.",
"But in a dissenting opinion, Justice Michael Randolph called the decision \"a stunning victory for some lawless convicted felons, and an immeasurable loss for the law-abiding citizens of our state.\"",
"Hood argued that the state Constitution required that for a pardon to be valid, notices be filed, each day, for 30 days in newspapers where their crimes were committed.",
"But during a February Supreme Court hearing, Barbour's lawyers argued that previous state court rulings had found the 30-day notice rule was \"an unconstitutional encroachment\" on the governor's power.",
"Thursday's ruling is the final word on the case, but Hood said he would seek to get the notice requirement restored to the state charter.",
"\"We do respect the decision of the Court, but feel deeply for how it must weigh on the victims and their families.",
"It is these victims and family members who have lost today and the criminals who have won,\" he said in a statement, echoing Randolph's dissent.",
"Among the 214 inmates Barbour pardoned before he left office in January were four convicted murderers who had worked as \"trusties\" at the governor's mansion.",
"Critics argued that the governor failed to consider the families of their victims before freeing them.",
"All four and an armed robber also pardoned by Barbour had remained free while the issue worked its way through the courts, and were freed under Thursday's decision.",
"Five other inmates who had remained behind bars awaiting a ruling have been released.",
"Barbour has defended his pardons and said the former inmates had been rehabilitated.",

"(CNN) -- London's Metropolitan Police have praised the good behavior of Scotland fans during Sunday's match against Brazil, despite claims by Brazilian striker Neymar that a banana was thrown at him as a form of racist abuse.",
"Santos striker Neymar, 19, scored both goals in Brazil's 2-0 victory at the Emirates Stadium, the home of English Premier League side Arsenal.",
"But the Brazilian attacker later revealed that he was subjected to racist taunts from Scottish spectators, which culminated in the banana-throwing incident.",
"However, the police confirmed they had received no complaints about any form of racism being displayed during the match on Monday.",
"Will Neymar win 2014 World Cup for Brazil?",
"Match commander, Chief Inspector Mark Shearan, issued an official press release which read: \"The Scottish supporters who travelled down to the game in their numbers were friendly and good-natured, colourful and supportive of their team.",
"\"There were six arrests at the match -- of which only two were definitely Scottish supporters and were drink-related.",
"This figure must be the seen in the context of a 53,000 strong crowd.\"",
"After his two-goal winning performance, Neymar had earlier claimed to Brazilian media that he had been the subject of racist abuse: \"This atmosphere of racism is totally sad.",
"\"They were jeering me a lot, even when I was about to kick the penalty the entire stadium was jeering.",
"\"We leave our country to play here and something like this happens.",
"It's sad.",
"I would rather not even talk about it, to keep the subject from escalating.\"",
"Neymar's teammate Lucas Leiva, who plays in England for Liverpool and removed the banana from the pitch, added: \"There is no more space for racism in the world.",
"\"Europe is where it happens the most.",
"That has to change, everybody is equal today and it's a matter of respect.\"",
"The Scottish Football Association (SFA), in a statement on their official website, denied the claims from Neymar.",
"\"There was no evidence of such instances but the Scotland supporters have confirmed they booed the player for perceived unsporting behaviour during the match.",
"\"The tens of thousands of Scotland fans who travelled to London were, in fact, commended for creating a carnival atmosphere not just inside the stadium but across the city throughout the weekend.",
"\"The Scottish FA has contacted the Brazilian Football Federation and the match organisers, Kentaro, to inform them of our information and of our supporters' unhappiness at the unfounded accusations,\" the statement read."

"Investigators now say that, according to automated electronic connections attempts by the ACARS data reporting system of Malaysia Flight 370, the airplane flew far to the west, in an entirely different direction than it should have been heading as per its original flight-planned route, which was to the north.",
"The 90-degree turn to the west might have been purely random if entered by a nonpilot or inexpert pilot who knew simply how to turn a single knob (called the heading bug) that could command the autopilot to make a turn to a new heading (or direction).",
"There is strong evidence that this is not what happened.",
"Investigators now believe, according to news reports, that after its transponder and ACARS radio were turned off, turns were initiated at GPS waypoints.",
"These waypoints are essentially virtual checkpoints in the sky, defining markers charted by airspace regulators that create pathways in the air that airplanes follow to keep safely separated from each other.",
"The waypoints are defined by an exact latitude and longitude and can be located by a number of the airplane's various navigators, including GPS.",
"If the reports of the flight path are true, it is not a route that could happen by accident.",
"There are two ways the 777-200 could have flown on this path.",
"After passing one waypoint, it could have been directed to fly to the next waypoint by a pilot turning the heading knob toward that exact place, a process that would require some piloting expertise.",
"This would be very unusual, and a novice or pilot without much flying experience on this plane would not know to make these kinds of inputs or have any conceivable reason to do so.",
"The almost certain explanation would be that these waypoints were programmed into the flight management system of the 777-200, a task that would have been beyond the abilities of anyone but a professional pilot.",
"The autopilot follows the course put into the flight management system by the pilots.",
"That is, when the autopilot is not being manually controlled instead.",
"The manual control part is easy.",
"You turn a knob and the airplane goes where you ask it to.",
"The flight management system part is very complicated.",
"I am a commercial pilot, and I have done some training on the Boeing 777.",
"Even after a few hours of professional instruction I would have been unable to program the flight management system to command the autopilot to fly the flight plan that Flight 370 reportedly flew.",
"This leaves us with one of two possible conclusions.",
"Either the flight was commandeered by a group with at least one professionally trained pilot among them or one of the pilots in control programmed the new off-route flight plan into the flight management system.",
"The latter would be far more likely.",
"When terrorists hijacked the airplanes that were flown into the World Trade Center towers and the Pentagon, they flew the airplanes by hand and those hijackers had trained for months with that exact mission in mind."

"(CNN) --",
"Hating the Internal Revenue Service is an American pastime that transcends political affiliation.",
"This past May, disgust for the IRS reached an all-time high when Lois Lerner, director of the IRS's Exempt Organizations unit, disclosed the agency had improperly targeted social welfare organizations seeking special status under section 501(c)(4) of the tax code based on their political ideology.",
"This revelation resulted in more than three months (and counting) of congressional hearings and investigations.",
"Read the IRS inspector general's report on targeting .",
"But in typical Washington fashion, the manufactured congressional outrage and grandstanding has served to do little more than obfuscate the real scandal at the IRS: that the agency allows social welfare organizations to manipulate federal tax law by spending hundreds of millions of dollars on political ads.",
"Anyone who watched television in the lead-up to the 2010 and 2012 elections undoubtedly noticed the slew of vitriolic, misleading campaign ads.",
"Some of these ads were sponsored by federal candidates, but many more were produced by groups with innocuous sounding names -- such as Crossroads GPS or the American Action Network -- but massive bank accounts.",
"Crossroads GPS, for example, a nonprofit organization cofounded by former George W. Bush administration official Karl Rove, spent more than $70 million on the 2012 election.",
"Like the groups targeted by the IRS, Crossroads GPS is a section 501(c)(4) organization, which affords certain tax benefits and -- most importantly -- the ability to keep the names of donors secret.",
"Federal law requires these groups to operate \"exclusively for purposes beneficial to the community as a whole.\"",
"IRS regulations, however, create a loophole in the law by allowing groups \"primarily\" engaged in these types of activities to benefit from this tax status.",
"Many 501(c)(4) groups have interpreted this regulation to mean they can spend up to 49% of their funds on political activities -- mostly negative, deceptive political ads.",
"Adding to the confusion, the IRS has said there is no specific percentage the agency uses to gauge whether a group has engaged \"primarily\" in social welfare activities, but rather that it considers all facts and circumstances.",
"What does that mean exactly?",
"No one knows.",
"When directly confronted about the problem and the agency's record of inaction, the IRS has said only that it is \"aware\" of the issue.",
"But the IRS has been aware of and has chosen to ignore this problem for more than 50 years.",
"If the agency had revised its regulations at any point in the past as my organization and others requested, the agency might have avoided the quagmire in which it is drowning.",
"Frustrated with the IRS's inaction, in May CREW filed a lawsuit against the IRS for flouting the law barring 501(c)(4) organizations from engaging in political activity.",
"The case is pending in District of Columbia district court.",
"Rep. Chris Van Hollen, D-Maryland, and other public interest groups filed a similar lawsuit last month."

"It's about functionality,\" says Dr. Richard Luskin, CEO of the New England Organ Bank.",
"Luskin is referring to the small group of people worldwide who are on waiting lists in hope of a new face, and in the United States at least, they may now have one donated to them more readily.",
"Last month the United Network of Organ Sharing (UNOS), a non-profit organization managing the U.S. organ transplant system, approved the first national policies for the transplantation of limbs, faces and other structures collectively known as \"vascularized composite allografts\" (VCAs) -- which should make it easier to find donors.",
"As of April 2014, there had been 28 face transplants across the world.",
"Animal attacks, severe burns and gunshot wounds had left these recipients scarred for life, literally, in the one place their scars cannot be hidden -- their face.",
"\"Anyone with this disfigurement would argue they're not living, they're surviving,\" says Luskin.",
"Face transplant recipients: New findings .",
"A growing field .",
"The first face transplant was performed in France in 2005 on Isabelle Dinoire, whose mouth, nose and chin had been chewed away by her dog.",
"Since then the field has grown and transplants involving varying combinations of facial parts have been performed in six other countries, including the United States.",
"As the procedures improve and their safety grows, donor registries and collaborating hospitals will increasingly be asking the question: Would you like to donate your face?",
"Or in the case of the UNOS approval, asking family members of potential donors the sensitive question of whether they will donate the face of their loved one.",
"The UNOS approval will initially be in place temporarily for 15 months to enable public comment, but families of donors will receive extra guidance when it comes to making the decision.",
"\"Face transplants remain unique and require very specific criteria such as hairlines and ethnic components,\" explains a UNOS spokesperson.",
"\"Therefore consent should be distinct and individual.\"",
"\"(This) will broaden the donor pool for wait-listed patients across a number of regional and national organ procurement organizations,\" explains Dr. Eduardo Rodriguez, professor of reconstructive plastic surgery at NYU Langone Medical Center.",
"\"A major component for a successful procedure is patient selection on both the recipient and donor,\" he adds.",
"\"The likeliness of a perfect match can be very challenging.\"",
"But this once-experimental procedure is becoming more widespread and accepted.",
"Richard Norris, from Virginia, received a new face in March 2012 and last month his face was featured on the cover of the U.S. edition of men's magazine GQ.",
"Norris lost most of his facial features after a gun blast, and lost abilities such as his sense of smell.",

"But not everyone has access to a SASMEX receiver -- there are 100,000 in operation but at a cost of roughly $330 apiece, they are a luxury the majority of Mexicans can't afford.",

"When seismic activity is detected, the Grillo sounds a loud, flashing alarm.",
"At a cost of just $50, it also undercuts the price of the receivers used primarily in public buildings by around 85%.",
"\"This is the most affordable and the most direct way for the Mexican public to connect to the early warning system,\" Meira says of the product, which also became Mexico's most successful ever Kickstarter campaign.",

"It isn't the first time Romney's oratory fumbles have put his campaign on its heels, handed opponents material to push the stereotype of him as an out-of-touch businessman and provoked members of the party's conservative base to question his worthiness as their standard-bearer.",
"\"Everybody has the same reaction: 'dumb, dumb, dumb,'\" said Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia's Center for Politics, adding that Romney's gaffes reinforce a sitcom-like caricature of the candidate.",
"Opinion: What's wrong with Romney .",
"After the tape, recorded during a May 17 private fundraiser at the home of Sun Capital executive Marc Leder, made the rounds on Monday, Romney convened a hastily scheduled news conference Monday night in which he said his comments were \"off the cuff\" and \"not elegantly stated.\"",
"However, he defended the main message of his remarks, saying he that while he could have made them \"more clearly,\" he said he was trying to point out the differences between his and Obama's campaigns.",
"Democratic pundits gloated and were content to let Romney's words speak for themselves.",
"\"I mean, I don't think Democrats had much to say at all.",

"Well, thanks for the help, Mitt,\" Paul Begala, a CNN contributor and a senior adviser in the leading pro-Obama super PAC Priorities USA, said on CNN's \"AC360.\"",
"\"On the second front ... in order to give big tax cuts for the rich, Mitt Romney is going to have to raise taxes on the middle class.",
"Well, when you're claiming to wealthy people that 47 percent of Americans don't pay federal income tax, I think a lot of those people, retirees, working class folks are going to listen to that and think, 'Gee, I guess the Democrats are right.",

"Yangon, Myanmar (CNN) --",
"The Australian editor of a Myanmar newspaper was ordered to remain in jail after a court hearing in Yangon Thursday.",
"Officials revealed at the hearing that Ross Dunkley, the editor of the Myanmar Times, faces charges related to torturing and drugging a woman.",
"Dunkley was arrested in early February.",
"At the time, authorities said he faced immigration charges.",
"At the hearing Thursday, authorities added the drug and torture charges stating that Myanmar law dictates that any foreigner who faces criminal charges always faces additional immigration charges.",
"The woman making the allegations against Dunkley was at the hearing, and said the editor gave her a drug on two occasions that hampered her memory.",
"On the second time, the woman said she jumped out of Dunkley's car to escape.",
"Dunkley denied all charges and requested to be released on bond, which was denied.",
"But in a strange twist, the woman told the judge that she wanted to drop her allegations and withdraw the case.",
"\"The woman who had made allegations of physical assault against Mr. Dunkley told the court that she wanted to withdraw her complaint,\" David Armstrong, chairman of Post Media Ltd. and a friend of Dunkley's who is serving as his spokesman, said in a statement.",
"\"She admitted that she made allegations during the hearing that she had not made in her initial police interview.\"",
"A judge asked her to consider her request and scheduled another hearing for March 3.",
"Officials from the Australian Embassy in Myanmar attended the hearing, Armstrong said.",
"Myanmar Times is one of a few newspapers owned and run by a foreigner in the nation.",
"Dunkley's arrest comes amid a business dispute with the paper's local partner.",
"\"I cannot say for sure that the cause behind Ross' arrest was driven by business dispute because I was not with him in Myanmar,\" said Armstrong.",
"\"But what I can say, all the troubles came to Ross at an odd timing as there was a business negotiation with his local partner going on.\""

"(CNN)In the gentle yet fiercely warm surrounds of the southern Ugandan countryside, Mwanja Banuli looks on as farmhands fill his truck with sugar cane.",
"Packing this rough, woody crop is heavy going and making sure every inch of space is utilized is key.",
"Transport costs money, after all, and this humble sugar farmer has lots of costs to consider.",
"\"There are many challenges in this business,\" Banuli says.",
"\"Rent for our land costs about $300 and then you need to pay people to clear the land.",
"\"You have to hire a tractor for ploughing and tilling the land.",
"When you add up all these expenses, it's a big investment.\"",

"In Uganda, sugar is big business.",
"This particular batch is headed for Kakira Sugar Limited -- one of the country's oldest and largest factories.",
"Kakira was founded by Muljibai Madhvani, an immigrant from the Indian subcontinent in the late 1920s.",
"It's a company still going strong to this day.",
"\"What you see in the background is the first mill that was installed in 1930 to crush only 150 tons of cane,\" explains Kenneth Barungi, assistant general manager of Kakira at the site of the company's nearby factory.",
"\"(Kakira) started expanding every 10 years, every 20 years, modernizing, acquiring more land, introducing irrigation, expanding the crushing capacity.",
"By (the 1970s)",
"they were producing about 83,000 tons of sugar.\"",
"\"That was about 50% of all the sugar produced in Uganda.",
"At that time they (Kakira) contributed to about 53% of the national GDP... just because of manufacturing and industry,\" he added.",
"Dawn of dictatorship .",
"It was at this time, however, that history intervened in the shape of one of the 20th century's most brutal rulers.",
"After a military coup in 1971, army commander Idi Amin Dada seized power.",
"The former heavyweight boxer made himself Uganda's president and a brutal dictatorship followed.",
"The often erratic Amin praised Hitler and said the German dictator \"was right to burn six million Jews.\"",
"He even bizarrely offered to be king of Scotland if asked.",
"Within a year he had expelled the country's Asian population, numbering around 35,000.",
"After almost 50 years, the Madhvanis were no longer welcome in Uganda.",
"Those who stayed, did so at their own risk.",
"\"When Idi Amin told every Asian to leave, they all left the country and went mainly to the UK,\" Barungi continued, adding that he believes this when Uganda began to economically fall apart.",
"\"All industries collapsed, all international trade collapsed.",
"There was no longer available foreign exchange to import machinery.",
"Even if you imported the machinery you didn't have technical expertise here to run such industries.\"",
"\"Within a few years Kakira Sugar Industries had collapsed, but so had infrastructure in Uganda.",
"Social services, everything had collapsed.\"",
"A new start .",
"After Idi Amin was deposed in 1979, however, some of the ejected population slowly started coming back to Uganda.",
"Among the returnees were the Madhvanis.",
"The country they left behind, however, was a very different place.",
"\"The factory was a skeleton,\" Barungi said."

"(CNN) --",
"The interesting news in the latest CNN/ORC International poll that Bill Clinton is pulling a 66% favorable rating among Americans suggests the 42nd president has the power to help or hurt Barack Obama as the 2012 campaign enters its final five months.",
"The question is: Which has he been doing more of lately?",
"The poll was a reminder that Americans tend to be more forgiving of their presidents over time, no matter how long they served, which party they hailed from or how voters may have felt about a commander in chief at the moment he stepped down.",
"Jimmy Carter (54%), George Herbert Walker Bush (59%) and Clinton, who have been out of office between 31 and 11 years, all earned personal approval ratings north of 50%; only George W. Bush, who stepped down three years ago, is below 50%.",
"But even his rating has improved since he returned to private life.",
"Being an ex-president is almost always good for your approval rating.",
"Photos: Secrets of the Presidents Club, from Truman to Obama .",
"The CNN poll appears at the moment when Clinton has once again been playing an outsize role on the public stage, and many have suggested all sorts of theories and reasons for maneuvering.",
"Some have read in his comments about Mitt Romney (he called his business record \"sterling\") a desire to undercut Obama or set the table for a run by his wife, Hillary, in 2016.",
"This analysis gained momentum when Clinton told CNBC that economics demanded that the Bush tax cuts should be extended temporarily.",
"That comment led Clinton to apologize.",
"But the evidence doesn't really support a campaign of sabotage.",
"A simpler explanation for Clinton's capering -- and one that better fits Clinton's record -- is that he is a permanent political consultant.",
"And his \"candidate\" isn't paying close attention to his advice.",
"Clinton is trying to change the debate in the presidential campaign from one about the past to one about the future.",
"Fighting about who did what in the 1980s, Clinton thinks, is a sure loser.",
"Better to focus on who has the better plan going forward.",
"(Remember the chorus of his campaign song?",
"\"Don't stop thinking about tomorrow.\")",
"So he has taken his approach to the airwaves.",
"It is easy to forget that Clinton has differed with the White House in the past about how to frame a political race.",
"In 2010, working through Vice President Joe Biden, he urged Obama to make the case that the president had done a number of things to improve the lives of Americans in his first two years and suggested the president campaign on his record.",
"But the White House resisted this approach, fearing the stimulus and health care reform were not popular enough to brag about and instead tried to make the Republican agenda the issue.",
"Clinton disagreed but (mostly) kept his mouth shut about it.",
"He doesn't seem willing to bite his tongue now.",
"Photos: Clinton's last days in office ."
