This story is based on a poor-man opportunity to succeed and get by in life. The Kamishibai was a place where you can go to eat candy and hear stories. It started off just for children to go and hear people fantastic stories. During the World War II Kamishibai got really popular and became a tv show. After a while Kamishibai was seen as Manga which is known as a comic book in Japan. The Kamishibai is still avaibale in Japan and United States.

Great Job! Thanks (anne)

[] An school secretary at Collins Elementary was accused of having sexual relations with a 15-year-old eighth-grade boy. She surrendered to Richmond County authorities shortly after 5 p.m. Wednesday. It really hurts me to know that not only is your child save at home or in the enviroment that might have an bad impact on them but now at school. A school secretary job is to allow parnets to check their kids in and out of school and also to inform the principal information him or her has missed not to sleep with the students. I really hope that this lady learn her lesson and serve serious time. Connect college reading Dark Bargains of the Global Economy Foreign factories does not operate the way U.S. factories do. The low prices of goods in stores such as wal-mart are only possible because of the low wages and poor working conditions of factory workers around the world. The factories themselves would be illegal in the United States because of the way those factories treat their workers and their communities.

In 1933, the Jewish population of Europe stood at over nine million. Most European Jews lived in countries that Nazi Germany would occupy or influence during World War II. By 1945, the Germans and their collaborators killed nearly two out of every three European Jews as part of the final solution the Nazi policy to murder the Jews of Europe. Although Jews, whom the Nazis deemed a priority danger to Germany, were the primary victims of Nazi racism, other victims included some 200,000 Roma (Gypsies). []

The Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that the First Amendment protects fundamentalist church members who mount anti-gay protests outside military funerals, despite the pain they cause grieving families.

Chapter 7 Emotion Management Some people believe that emotions are like common colds. In both cases, an external disturbance causes a reaction that we experience. Chapter 7 The road to World war I On June 28, 1914, the hier to the Austrian throne, the Archduke Francis Ferdinand, was assassinated in the Bosnian city of Sarajevo. The system of nation-staes that had emerged in Europe in the second half of the nineteenth century had led to severe competition. The growth of nationalism in the nineteenth century had yet another serious consequence. The Rail Study: Mom's blood test can reveal down syndrome Scientist in Europe report they were able to diagnose Down syndrome prenatally by giving a simple blood test to pregnant women, an approach that might one day help them avoid the more extensive procedure used now to detect the condition. The preliminary report published online Sunday in the journal Nature Medicine is the latest of several recent studies. [] A two-day U.S. and allied air assault on Libya has inflicted heavy damage on leader Moammar Gadhafi's ability to fire missiles or attack rebels, according to Pentagon officals and report from rebel strongholds. Smoke spewed Monday from two adjacent reactors in the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, a nuclear safety official said, setbacks that came despite fervent efforts to prevent the further release of radioactive materials at the stricken facility. After 6 p.m., white smoke was seen emanating from the facility's No. 2 reactor, according to Hidehiko Nishiyama, an official with Japan's Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency. About two hours earlier, workers were evacuated from the area around the No. 3 reactor after gray smoke began to rise from the wreckage of its steel-and-concrete housing, which was blown apart by a hydrogen explosion last week. Brazil's cool and contentious relationship with the United States over trade and foreign policy has warmed a few degrees, analysts said Sunday, as President Barack Obama's visit appeared to charm officials and crowds during his two-day visit to South America's largest nation. This book is about a young girl and her family hiding away from the Nazi in Germany. Anne writes that her family lived in Frankfurt until Mr. Frank fled to Amsterdam with his family as Nazi Germany became increasingly anti-Semitic. When the Nazis occupied Holland, Mr. Frank moved his family into the prearranged hiding place over the warehouse. The move to the hiding place was prompted by a letter to Margot, telling her to report to a reception center from which concentration camp assignments were made. Quickly and immediately, the Franks packed only a few belongings (so as not to arouse the suspicion of passersby) and wore as many of their clothes as they could so they could take up residence in the Secret Annex. Mr. Frank invited the Van Daans to come live in the hiding place, too. [] The Monkeys Paw This short story is about three men who believe that the monkeys paw is a magic call. They go on and on wishing for things until one wishes for something way too big. [] This short story is about a man named Goodman brown and his wife named Faith. They have been married for three months and this is their first time departing from one another. [] This short poem is about people wanting you to remember things from long ago. Expect for this one girl named Fannie Mae who just wishes you nothing but memories.

Feminist ethics: Introduction and overview (Part 1)
Although feminists may differ in how they interpret and understand the nature of women's oppression, there is one fundamental starting point for them all - that of //women's experience//. //All// feminists argue that for too long now, a woman's point-of-view has been largely ignored and neglected throughout the course of human history. The bottom line for all of this is that our various societies, religions, philosophies, sciences and even moral theories have been basically shaped and formed by men, for men, and according to male interests and needs. [iefault] Thus blog is about fashion. There are serval different fashion desingers that blog about how they feel about fashion. **33.** [] This blog is about a man and his team that makes cakes. They are very talent. On this blog the cake boss is bloging about the new guy. There are many obstacles confronting recording artists wishing to make an album. Musicians need to be diligent and pugnacious, having some innate talent definitely helps as well. Recording artists sometimes start off by writing their own songs. Most musicians try to land an agent. The agent serves as the go-between for the artists and contends with matters such as advertising and publicity. The agent also introduces the recording artist to a record company, which provides financing for the recording of the album. There was virtually no daily press when the First Amendment was written during Washington's presidency. As recently as the presidency of Herbert Hoover (1929-1933), reporters submitted their questions to the president in writing and he responded in writing if at all. Another of Roosevelt's talents was knowing how to feed the right story to the right reporter. In relationships, men and women can behave as if they are from different planets. Sometimes the dynamics of relationships might even lead one to ponder whether the two genders exist in the same universe. Some people are therefore of the opinion that men and women think feel, and behave in completely different ways. [] The strom from last night took a big hit into JACKSON, Ga. An enormous tree limb that crashed through a Georgia family's bedroom killed a father and the young son he was holding in his arms Tuesday as a fast-moving storm system pounded the South with tornadoes, hail and spectacular lightning. At least eight people were killed around the region, including several who died on roads made treacherous by downed trees and power lines. Paramedics found the 4-year-old boy, Alix Bonhomme III, wrapped in the arms of his father, Alix Bonhomme Jr., in a sight so wrenching that even grizzled rescuers wept. Bonhomme's fiancee, Marcie Moorer, and the couple's younger son were cowering in another room during the storm and escaped injury. [] A 13-year-old girl has been arrested on hate crime charges after being accused of helping bully and attack a Muslim girl at their New York City middle school. The girl was being charged as a juvenile, along with a 12-year-old boy who was arrested last week. She was charged with third-degree assault as a hate crime and attempted robbery. She was due to appear in family court Tuesday.Authorities said the two bullied and tormented a 13-year-old Muslim girl at the Staten Island school, calling her a terrorist and trying to steal from her. [] Libyan government forces on Tuesday unleashed a withering bombardment of the rebels outside the key oil town of Brega, pushing them back despite NATO reports that nearly a third of Moammar Gadhafi's heavy weapons have been destroyed. [] It has been a difficult journey for the Anderson family since they learned their eldest daughter, a 24-year-old English-language teacher living in Japan, died in the massive earthquake and tsunami that ravaged the nation’s northeastern coast on March 11. Their odyssey past the shoals of fear, despair and grief toward the distant shores of acceptance is one that is shared by tens of thousands of Japanese families, as well of those in many other countries whose citizens died in the twin disaster that befell Japan on that fateful Friday afternoon. =Witnesses: 20 killed as thousands protest in Syria= Syrian security forces opened fire on tens of thousands of protesters across several cities Friday, killing at least 20 people, wounding hundreds and forcing residents to turn mosques into makeshift hospitals, witnesses and a human rights group said. Ammar Qurabi, who heads Syria's National Organization for Human Rights, said most of the deaths happened in Daraa, a restive southern city that has become a flashpoint for anti-government protests. Kristina Hensley, 35, was given the maximum sentence by Butler County Common Pleas Judge Keith Spaeth. An exotic dancer accused of killing a customer by running him over in her SUV outside his home and dragging him for a mile was sentenced Thursday to 10 years in prison. Hensley, of Higginsport, pleaded guilty in February to involuntary manslaughter and failure to stop after an accident in the death last August of Jae Cho. The judge called the autopsy photos and report detailing Cho's death "ghastly" and said the court had no choice in the sentence, given the circumstances. Volunteers help family after farmer dies sandbagging Quentin Goehring died trying to save his farm from the rising Red River. Dozens of volunteers weren't about to let his work go for nothing. Although many never knew the 73-year-old Minnesota farmer, they trudged through calf-deep mud on Thursday, shoveling sand as skid-steer loaders zipped around the property placing sandbags to finish the protective wall Goehring was working on when he collapsed. =17 protesters arrested at Wash. governor's office= Authorities arrested 17 people protesting proposed budget cuts at the Washington state capital, local media reported, citing the state patrol. The arrests came after a crowd of about 400 protesters converged on Gov. Chris Gregoire's office Thursday afternoon. State Patrol spokesman Robert Calkins said a scuffle broke out as authorities tried to keep them from entering the office. He told The Olympian that the protesters pushed on, shouting "let us in" and "we want the governor." =Gov't shutdown could hit federal workers in wallet= Last time there was a government shutdown, furloughed federal workers were able to recover their lost pay. They may not be so lucky this time. Other political news of note Congress would have to decide whether an estimated 800,000 government employees could recoup back wages if they are forced to stay out of work. When workers were sidelined during the most recent partial shutdowns of 1995 and 1996, Congress quickly voted to make them whole. =Some budget skirmishes aren't about money= There are fights about money and fights about ideas, and the battle over a spending plan to keep the government open is increasingly centered on the latter. The frenetic negotiations to avert a government shutdown seem largely focused not on dollars and cents, where the two sides are not all that far apart, but on policy issues, primarily abortion and environmental regulations, that defy easy compromise. Republicans and Democrats remained locked in a budget impasse Friday morning, with both sides identifying different sticking points that are preventing a deal to fund the federal government. With just over 12 hours until the deadline to pass a funding measure or shut the government down, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid pointed to a quarrel over funding women’s health centers as the reason for the continuing standoff, while House Speaker John Boehner said flatly that only differences over spending levels remain between the two warring sides. Eighteen-year-old Aaron Shawn Hill was killed Thursday morning on Highway 129 in Wellford, the state's highway patrol said. The stretch of road where Hill died is named for his father, U.S. Army National Guard Sgt. Shawn Hill, who was killed in Afghanistan in 2008 when his vehicle hit a roadside bomb.The high school senior was pronounced dead at the scene Thursday. Two other people injured in the wreck were brought to area hospitals. The Highway Patrol says Hill was driving a Honda that was hit head-on when a Chevrolet pickup crossed the center line. NATO said Friday its airstrikes had hit rebels using tanks in their fight with the government forces in eastern Libya, but said it would not apologize for the deaths. NATO jets attacked a rebel convoy between these two towns Thursday, killing at least five fighters and destroying or damaging a number of armored vehicles. Rear Admiral Russell Harding, the deputy commander of the NATO operation, said NATO had no previous information the rebels were operating tanks. In the past, only forces loyal to Moammar Gadhafi had used heavy armored vehicles, he said.

=Israeli retaliation kills 5 after school bus hit= Israeli aircraft and ground forces struck Gaza on Friday, killing two Hamas gunmen and three civilians in a surge of fighting sparked by a Palestinian rocket attack on an Israeli school bus the day before. Just over two years after rocket fire from Gaza triggered a devastating Israeli military offensive in the territory, Israel and Gaza's Hamas rulers seemed on the brink of another round of intense violence. 51. 4/9/11 =2 US forces mistakenly killed by drone attack in Afghanistan= A U.S. Marine reservist and a Navy corpsman were killed in a drone airstrike in Afghanistan last week in an apparent case of friendly fire, U.S. military officials tell NBC News. Marine Staff Sgt. Jeremy Smith and Navy Corpsman Benjamin Rast were reportedly killed Wednesday by a Hellfire missile fired from a U.S. Air Force Predator in what appears to be a case of mistaken identity, NBC reported. Smith and Rast were part of a Marine unit moving in to reinforce fellow Marines under heavy fire from enemy forces outside Sangin in Helmand province in southern Afghanistan. The Marines under fire were watching streaming video of the battlefield being fed to them by an armed Predator overhead. They saw a number of "hot spots," or infrared images, moving in their direction. Apparently believing that those "hot spots" were the enemy, they called in a Hellfire missile strike from the Predator. 52. 4/9/11 One month on, Japan rattled by big aftershock Japan on Monday expanded the evacuation zone around its crippled nuclear plant because of high levels of accumulated radiation, as a strong aftershock rattled the area one month after a quake and tsunami sparked the worst nuclear crisis since Chernobyl. A magnitude 6.6 tremor shook buildings in Tokyo and a wide swathe of eastern Japan on Monday evening, killing one man, knocking out power to 220,000 households and causing a brief halt to water pumping to cool three damaged nuclear reactors. The epicentre of quake, the biggest of several sizable aftershocks on Monday, was 56 miles east of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear complex at the centre of the crisis. The biggest tremor forced engineers to postpone plans to remove highly contaminated water from one reactor, but nuclear safety officials said work had resumed by nightfall. Police search new area in NY serial killer case Investigators searching for evidence of a serial killer have found animal bones, but no signs of human remains, at New York's Jones Beach State Park. About 125 searchers, some with dogs and others on horseback, scoured the area Monday. Police have not determined whether the search will include sending divers into a 40-acre pond that's part of a bird sanctuary. The new search area is along Ocean Parkway in Nassau County. Officers in neighboring Suffolk County to the east uncovered eight sets of human remains in recent months. The area is thick with underbrush, creating difficult conditions. Arrests made as French face veil ban takes effect France's new ban on Islamic face veils was met with a burst of defiance Monday, as several women appeared veiled in front of Paris' Notre Dame Cathedral and two were detained for taking part in an unauthorized protest. A third was reportedly arrested in the city of Avignon. France on Monday became the world's first country to ban the veils anywhere in public, from outdoor marketplaces to the sidewalks and boutiques of the Champs-Elysees. French President Nicolas Sarkozy set the wheels in motion for the ban nearly two years ago, saying the veils imprison women and contradict this secular nation's values of dignity and equality. The ban enjoyed wide public support when it was approved by parliament last year **55-58. 4/11/11** Read three articles but wikispaces was down. Mom who withheld son's cancer meds gets 8-10 years A woman who withheld potentially life-saving medications from her autistic, cancer-stricken son was sentenced Friday to eight to 10 years in prison by a judge who said her actions "really do chill one's soul." Kristen LaBrie was convicted of attempted murder Tuesday for withholding at least five months of at-home chemotherapy treatments for her son, Jeremy Fraser. The boy died at age 9 in 2009. LaBrie, 38, wept and apologized before Judge Richard Welch handed down her punishment in Lawrence Superior Court. I-80 stretch in Miss. hit by storms that killed 9 A storm system that killed nine people, including three children, overnight in Oklahoma and Arkansas had moved into Mississippi on Friday, where a tornado reportedly tore through a stretch of Interstate 80, flipping cars and tearing off roofs. **60-63. 4/16/11** **Posted three post from MSN.com and wikispaces was not working.** ='More will die': Mexico drug wars claim U.S. lives= While U.S. officials have long been concerned about the mindless violence bred by Mexico’s bloody and brutal drug wars, they have a new reason to worry: Americans are increasingly getting caught in the deadly crossfire. Some who have died were themselves working for the drug cartels. But more and more often, experts say, the casualties are U.S. law enforcement officers and innocent victims who died simply because they ended up at the wrong place at the wrong time. US taxes among lowest in the world At first glance, America's top rate of 35 percent looks comparable to the rates paid by other developed countries. But that represents the top marginal rate; a typical married couple with two kids pays just 13.7 percent of total income in taxes (down from about 20 percent in 2000), according to the OECD. A 16-year-old girl has survived a fall from San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge, officials said. The Fire Department and the U.S. Coast Guard said the girl was in the water for 20 minutes Sunday before being pulled to safety conscious and responsive. Coast Guard officials said a good samaritan kept her afloat in the NBC BAy area. Golden Gate Bridge spokeswoman Mary Currie told the NBC station that the teenager had jumped in a suicide attempt. She was transported to Marin General Hospital, but her condition wasn't immediately available.Fire dispatchers got the first call at 10:53 a.m. (1:53 p.m. ET) and the Coast Guard found her at 11:13 a.m., the Chronicle said. Oregon State Police say a 6-year-old told authorities after he crashed his mother's minivan that he had left his home hungry and wanted to go buy food. State troopers say the van the boy was driving crashed into several mailboxes in the Klamath Falls area on Sunday, and then swerved into an opposite lane before hitting a Dodge pickup. The boy, who was alone in the van, did not suffer any injuries. He told authorities he had taken a roll of pennies from his family's apartment to get some food. Troopers say the woman driving the pickup received minor injuries. The boy's name has not been released. State police and the Department of Human Services were continuing to investigate the crash. 68.4/20/11 FBI hunts suspected domestic terrorist after bomb found on Columbine anniversary The FBI says it has identified a person of interest after a pipe bomb and two propane tanks were found at a suburban Denver mall following a fire Wednesday, the 12th anniversary of the Columbine massacre. The FBI is investigating the incident as a case of domestic terrorism, NBC station KUSA reported. The FBI released two surveillance pictures of the person of interest Wednesday night. 69. 4/20/11 Juveniles look to high court to ease life sentences More than a decade ago, a 14-year-old boy killed his stepbrother in a scuffle that escalated from goofing around with a blowgun to an angry threat with a bow and arrow to the fatal thrust of a hunting knife. The boy, Quantel Lotts, had spent part of the morning playing with Pokémon cards. He was in seventh grade and not yet five feet tall. Mr. Lotts is 25 now, and he is in the maximum-security prison here, serving a sentence of life without the possibility of parole for murder. The victim’s mother, Tammy Lotts, said she lost two children on that November day in 1999. One was a son, Michael Barton, who was 17 when he died. The other was a stepson, Mr. Lotts. 70. 4/20/11 Bible edits leave some feeling cross It's purely a coincidence, but U.S. Catholics and Protestants alike are being introduced this Easter season to separate "official" updated translations of the Christian Bible, which arrive in the year the magisterial King James Version celebrates its 400th birthday. But with millions of dollars in publishing revenue and the trust of millions of churchgoers hanging in the balance, the new versions aren't being met with universal acceptance. While the changes may seem small, they are resounding throughout Christianity, whose many denominations formed or broke off from others over clashing interpretations of God's word. The two new translations touch on some of the most sensitive issues behind those differences, particularly on the inequality of women in society and on the divinity of Mary and by extension the birth of Jesus. Sick grandma dropped in Arctic in botched rescue! A 73-year-old grandmother was fighting for her life in a British hospital after rescuers dropped her into freezing Arctic waters as they attempted to transfer her from a cruise ship to a lifeboat, British media reported Thursday. Janet Richardson reportedly began to feel dizzy and ill on the Ocean Countess cruise along the coast of Norway last month. After she was examined by the ship's doctor the captain decided to transfer her to shore for treatment. Another passenger on the ship, Colin Prescott, said both the ship and the lifeboat "were steaming at ten knots" when paramedics tried to move her on a stretcher, [|The Sun newspaper reported]. "The vessels, which hadn't been latched together, suddenly moved apart by several feet as they were transferring her, which caused the rescue crews to drop the stretcher into the sea," Prescott said. Richardson's husband George Richardson, 78, looked on in horror. He thought that he was going to loose her. Rebel fighters drove Moammar Gadhafi's forces to the edge of the besieged western city of Misrata on Sunday, taking control of the main hospital where government troops had been holed up, a resident said. In the fighting, Gadhafi loyalists fired dozens of rockets at Misrata on Sunday, said the resident, despite claims by the Libyan government that the army has held its fire since Friday. The resident asked to be identified only by his given name, Abdel Salam, for fear of retribution. At least 36 people have been killed in the attacks, a rebel spokesman there said Syrian security forces detained dozens of opposition activists and others in raids Sunday launched less than a week after President Bashar Assad's regime abolished emergency laws used for decades to crush dissent, a human rights activist said. The police sweeps, which began late Saturday, reinforce opposition claims that the repeal of the nearly 50-year-old state of emergency codes offers no protection against blitz-style detentions by Assad's forces.Also Sunday, the watchdog group Human Rights Watch called for a U.N. inquiry into Syria's widening crackdown on opposition protesters that has left more than 120 dead people in recent days. Authorities in Florida say the driver of a truck was trying to do donut stunts in an empty lot when the vehicle flipped, killing the driver and one of five other people inside. Two of the passengers were seriously hurt and taken to a hospital. Two others had minor injuries. According to the Florida Highway Patrol, 43-year-old Randall Landry of Naples was driving the truck Saturday night when it overturned. FHP says Landry and 28-year-old Jose Castillo were thrown from the vehicle and pinned underneath. Both died at the scene. A highway patrol report says no one was wearing a seat belt. =From Texas to Ohio, tornado, thunderstorm outbreak= Severe thunderstorms marched along band from Texas through to Ohio on Saturday as residents recoiled from a fierce storm that swept the west side of St. Louis. The National Weather Service issued tornado warnings for parts of southern Illinois to northern Kentucky and southwest Ohio amid severe thunderstorms.Forecasters also were keeping watch on possible flooding along the Ohio and Great Miami rivers, The Cincinnati Enquirer reported Saturday. An Iraqi police official says seven people have been wounded by a roadside bomb outside the entrance of a Baghdad church. The official says the blast took place Sunday just yards (meters) from the Sacred Heart Church in Baghdad's Karradah neighborhood. Shrapnel from the bomb struck the outside of the building.The officer said no parishioners were inside and services had not been held in the building. Four policemen and three civilian bystanders were wounded. For weeks, reports have been circulating of a growing crackdown on Tibetan areas in the southwestern province of Sichuan. In counties of Aba Prefecture, a remote region on the Tibetan Plateau--at best, a full day’s drive from the provincial capital of Chendgu--police and other security officials are said to be detaining monks and killing two residents in the process from and around Kirti Monastery after a young monk set himself on fire last month to protest Beijing’s Tibet policies. Earlier this week, activists released footage of the self-immolated monk and widespread security. Every day at sundown, the gutted shell of the last Cabrini Green public housing tower takes on a ghostly aura as lights start flickering sporadically from 15 floors of empty rooms. It looks like a distress signal but it's really a goodbye.This is the final Cabrini high rise to meet the wrecker's ball, the end of an era in Chicago, where public housing has long been a symbol of every form of inner-city agony: crumbling bases for vicious street gangs, darkened stairways reeking of urine, gunfire echoing in the night.Cabrini had more than its share of horror: A 7-year-old shot dead while walking to school, holding his mother's hand. A young girl raped, beaten and poisoned by insecticide. Two policemen gunned down by snipers while on foot patrol.But Cabrini had its happy memories, too: Block parties in the July heat. Special Monday reunions for old-timers coming back to visit. Girls eating sticky grape Popsicles, jumping double-dutch. 80. 4/22/11 =Israeli killed, 4 wounded in West Bank= A Palestinian policeman opened fire Sunday at a group of Israelis who had come to pray at a Jewish holy site in the West Bank without authorization, killing one and wounding four, the Israeli military said. The shooting threatened to inflame tensions in the West Bank, where Jewish settlers and Palestinians live in uneasy proximity and where settlers have responded to attacks in the past with violent reprisals.Israeli police identified the dead man as Ben-Yosef Livnat, a Jerusalem resident in his mid-20s. Israeli media reported that Livnat was the nephew of Limor Livnat, a prominent hardline Cabinet minister from the ruling Likud Party. Investigators combed through the ruins of a destroyed home on Monday to try to determine the cause of an explosion and fire that left six people dead before dawn on Easter Sunday. The blaze was being investigated as an arson, Vancouver police spokeswoman Kim Kapp said. The Oregonian and The Columbian newspapers reported that public records show that Tuan and Lori Dao and their six children had lived in the house in a middle-income subdivision of one-story homes. Officials haven't identified the victims. Autopsies weren't expected to be completed until late Monday or early Tuesday, and the results will provide details on the victims' age, gender and cause of death, Kapp said. One neighbor, Kathy Larsen, said the family had moved out of the house but the father had recently moved back in. The Oregonian quoted another neighbor, Carol Kumanchik, as saying she had seen the father and his sons riding bikes on the street last Friday. A Tampa-area woman found an unwelcome weekend guest in her bathroom — a 7-foot alligator. Her boyfriend propped a small table by the bathroom to keep the gator inside until an officer from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission showed up to take him away. Dunbar believes the alligator used a doggie door on the back porch to get inside the house. Dunbar, who lives in Palmetto, which is south of St. Petersburg, told WFLA that she believes the gator hung out at her house for several hours. 83. =Item found in search for missing Tenn. student= Searchers have found an item they think belongs to a Tennessee woman missing for nearly two weeks, but investigators aren't saying what it is. Investigators had planned to call off the volunteer ground searches for Holly Bobo soon, but discovered something Sunday afternoon that changed their minds,NBC affiliate WSMV-TV reported. A Tennessee Bureau of Investigation spokeswoman said Monday it is unlikely the item found in the hunt for the 20-year-old nursing student will be described publicly unless investigators decide there is reason to do so. Bobo was last seen being led away from her rural home April 13 by a man wearing camouflage clothing. TBI spokeswoman Kristin Helm said investigators are "pretty sure" the item found in the ongoing search belongs to Bobo but it's not certain it will help. An $80,000 reward is being offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction. Forces loyal to Yemen's embattled president opened fire on protesters demanding his ouster Monday, killing two and wounding dozens at various protests, activists said. The latest violence came as a Gulf Arab proposal for President Ali Abdullah Saleh to step down appears increasingly doomed, raising prospects of more bloodshed and instability in a nation already beset by deep poverty and conflict. Yemen's unrest erupted over two months ago, inspired by uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt. The near-daily protests against Saleh, the country's ruler of 32 years, have demanded he relinquish power immediately**.** Monday's deaths came during protests in the cities of Ibb and Bayda, said activist Ibrahim .In the city of Ibb, 120 miles (190 kilometers) south of the capital Sanaa, demonstrators set fire to two cars used by government-paid thugs who shot at them but the attackers managed to flee, he said. In the southern city of Taiz, presidential guard troops, who are run by Saleh's eldest son, fired bullets and tear gas into tens of thousands of protesters gathered there, according to activist Nouh al-Wafi. Dr. Sadeq al-Shujae of Taiz said more than 41 protesters were wounded when police opened fire and six people had to undergo critical operations. 86. =Want a U.S. passport? Were you circumcised?= Were you baptized or circumcised? Who was present when you were born? Where did your mother work? These are sample questions that applicants may be asked to answer on the proposed biographical questionnaire for a U.S. passport.The questionnaire, boingboing reports, is intended for people seeking a U.S. passport but who cannot supply a birth certificate. The U.S. State Department the federal agency that processes passports anticipates more than 74,000 respondents. It also estimates the form will take 45 minutes to complete. Feel like the office geezer? Age may be an asset at work, or no issue at all, according to an AP-LifeGoesStrong.com poll. Nearly half of those born between 1946 and 1964 now work for a younger boss, and most report that they are older than most colleagues. But 61 percent of the baby boomers surveyed said their age is not an issue at work, while 25 percent called it an asset. Only 14 percent classified getting older as a workplace liability**.** For the first time, American women have passed men in gaining advanced college degrees as well as bachelor's degrees, part of a trend that is helping redefine who goes off to work and who stays home with the kids. Census figures released Tuesday highlight the latest education milestone for women, who began to exceed men in college enrollment in the early 1980s. The findings come amid record shares of women in the workplace and a steady decline in stay-at-home mothers.The educational gains for women are giving them greater access to a wider range of jobs, contributing to a shift of traditional gender roles at home and work. Based on one demographer's estimate, the number of stay-at-home dads who are the primary caregivers for their children reached nearly 2 million last year, or one in 15 fathers. The official census tally was 154,000, based on a narrower definition that excludes those working part-time or looking for jobs. 89. =President: Colombia hit by 'worst natural disaster'= 90. =Mom pleads not guilty over school enrollment= A homeless single mother who lives in her van pleaded not guilty Wednesday to stealing nearly $16,000 worth of education for her son by enrolling the kindergartener in her baby sitter's school district. Tanya McDowell, 33, was arraigned in Norwalk, where she was arrested April 14 on felony charges of committing and attempting to commit first-degree larceny.Prosecutors say McDowell used her baby sitter's address to enroll her son in Norwalk schools in the fall but should have registered the boy in nearby Bridgeport, a significantly poorer urban district and the location of her last permanent address.Officials call it the first known case of its type in Connecticut, although similar conflicts have played out elsewhere in the U.S. as districts try to ensure their scarce local tax dollars are used for local students 91. **pt 2** McDowell, who is black, has drawn the support of civil rights leaders and parents' groups and is being represented by a lawyer provided by the Connecticut chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. She faces up to 20 years in prison and up to $15,000 in fines if convicted of the felony larceny charge. She said before Wednesday's arraignment that her bewildered son, A.J., repeatedly asks why he was kicked out of his school. The boy was removed from Norwalk's Brookside Elementary School in January and now lives with relatives in Bridgeport, where he attends kindergarten. By going on national TV from the White House, Obama portrayed himself as a voice of reason amid a loud, lingering debate on his birth status. Though his personal attention to the issue elevated it as never before, Obama said to Republican detractors and the media, it is time to move on to bigger issues. Citing huge budget decisions in Washington, Obama said, "I am confident that the American people and America's political leaders can come together in a bipartisan way and solve these problems. We always have. But we're not going to be able to do it if we are distracted." Violent weather that ripped through the South for a second straight night, killing at least 13 people in Mississippi, Arkansas and Alabama, stirred up again by Wednesday afternoon, with at least one town reporting severe damage. Officials in Cullman, Ala., said they saw a suspected twister tear through the downtown area, damaging the courthouse and a church. People inside City Hall took shelter in a vault, Mayor Max Towson said. Eight American troops and a U.S. contractor died Wednesday after an Afghan military pilot opened fire during a meeting at Kabul airport the deadliest episode to date of an Afghan turning against his coalition partners, officials said. A lesbian cadet who resigned from West Point last year has been rejected for readmission to the academy even as the military moves toward repealing its "don't ask, don't tell" policy. Officials at the U.S. Military Academy said they had no choice but to reject Katherine Miller's application, because the repeal of the policy barring gays from serving openly in the military is not in effect yet. The repeal did not occur immediately after President Barack Obama signed the legislation in December as training and certification are required before the ban is lifted. Miller left West Point in August, halfway through her stint at the academy, saying she couldn't lie about her sexuality anymore. Sen. John McCain called Wednesday for sanctions and arrest warrants to be issued for Syria's President Bashar Assad and his inner circle, but said military intervention was not a The former Republican presidential candidate spoke as the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said it had collected the names of at least 453 civilians killed during almost six weeks of pro-democracy protests in Syria and the United Nations agreed to discuss how to end the violence. The regime's crackdown appears to have only emboldened protesters who started their revolt with calls for modest reforms, but are now increasingly demanding Assad's downfall. Ten Malaysians posing as an organized tour group were caught entering New Zealand with up to a kilogram (2.2 pounds) of methamphetamine in each of their shoes, an official said Wednesday. 100.
