November 22, 2006 - WHEC-TV, Rochester, New York Research shows that one or two pounds you gain over the holidays often sticks with you throughout the year, and doesn't come off. The problem is holiday eating can linger into the winter months as we indulge in more higher calorie comfort foods and back off on exercise. |

October 20, 2006 - The New York Times Moving quickly to implement the bill signed by President Bush this week that authorizes military trials of enemy combatants, the administration has formally notified the U.S. District Court here that it no longer has jurisdiction to consider hundreds of habeas corpus petitions filed by inmates at the Guantanamo Bay prison in Cuba. Habeas corpus, a Latin term meaning "you have the body," is one of the oldest principles of English and American law. It requires the government to show a legal basis for holding a prisoner. A series of unresolved federal court cases brought against the administration over the last several years by lawyers representing the detainees had left the question in limbo. |

July 7, 2006 - Seattle Post-Intelligencer Death likely to erase Ken Lay's convictions HOUSTON -- The death of Enron Corp. founder Kenneth Lay likely will cause his conviction to be erased from the record, experts said Thursday. The 64-year-old executive's sudden death Wednesday from heart disease allows his lawyers to ask the court to vacate his conviction for fraud and conspiracy in Enron's scandal, which left thousands jobless and wiped out billions from investors.

June 27, 2006 - The Scotsman Outcry as Bruno the bear shot dead GERMANY'S most celebrated rogue, Bruno the bear, has been shot dead after leading trackers and hunters on the wildest of chases. Hours after authorities in Bavaria approved the shoot-to-kill policy against the marauding bear, he was brought down near an Alpine region where he was foraging for food. Bruno's death was decried as cruel and pointless by animal welfare groups, who wanted trackers with humane traps to be given more time to catch him. He was the first wild brown bear to wander into Germany from Austria in 170 years after his ancestors were hunted to extinction. |

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MADRID, Spain (AP) -- The images have been shocking: a mob pouring over the ruins of a fire-gutted Danish Embassy. Bullets cutting the air as thousands try to storm a U.S. military base in Afghanistan. A British Muslim protester's banner urging ''Behead those that insult Islam.'' The firestorm that has swept the globe since European newspapers published cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad is an alarming demonstration of the growing friction between Islam and the West. Beyond the recent drama is a complex debate that goes to the heart of what a liberal democracy should be. |
