The de facto government of Honduras

The de facto government of Honduras has said that plans for Manuel Zelaya, the country's deposed president, to leave the Honduran capital for Mexico have been put on hold. Sources had said on Wednesday that Zelaya, who has sheltered at the Brazilian embassy in Tegucigalpa since returning from exile in September, was due to head to Mexico within hours. But Carlos Lopez, Honduras's foreign minister, told Honduran television that the plan had been "aborted under current circumstances". Milton...

Colangelo: Skip worlds at your own peril

USA Basketball managing director Jerry Colangelo has a message for LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and the rest of the NBA stars leaning toward skipping the 2010 World Championships without an approved alibi: You’ve lost your guarantee for a roster spot at the 2012 Summer Olympics. “There are no free passes to London,” Colangelo told Yahoo! Sports on Wednesday night. “There are no special rules for anyone. If someone decides to pass without a legit issue, they do it with an understanding...

Question Remains: What Makes Gillibrand Scary?

They appeared on the scene with blustery talk and bravado, dismissing her as weak, spineless and out of touch with New Yorkers. Replace her, they said, with me. But one after another, each of them — the billionaire, the veteran politicians and the other ideological adversaries who boasted that they could take on Kirsten E. Gillibrand in a Senate race — was scared away, leaving their supporters to wonder: What is so frightening about Ms. Gillibrand? After all, her poll numbers are unimpressive,...

27 Arrests At High-Rise Where Child Was Gang Raped

Police raided a New Jersey public housing complex Thursday where officials say a 7-year-old girl was gang raped, and arrested 27 people on outstanding warrants. Trenton Mayor Doug Palmer said the pre-dawn sweep of Rowan Towers was planned before the girl's attack. He said police hope the arrests will lead to tips that help them find those who assaulted the girl, otherwise the arrests were unrelated to the case. "This is only the beginning," Palmer said. "We're not going to rest until...

Michael Steele's very bad week

The RNC says Michael Steele is ordering "substantive changes" to the Republican Party's accounting procedures in the wake of news that it spent nearly $2,000 at a bondage club in Hollywood. But the damage control may be coming too late — not for Steele, whose job seems safe, but for the RNC itself. The RNC's latest made-for-Jon Stewart sex-related slip-ups — combined with Steele's previous string of well-publicized gaffes and missteps — are threatening...

S.Korea says torpedo might have sunk warship

South Korea's defence minister said Friday that a torpedo might have sunk a warship near the tense North Korean border but cautioned that the investigation was incomplete. "A torpedo or a sea mine might have been involved but a torpedo is a more realistic cause than a mine," minister Kim Tae-Young told parliament as divers resumed a search for 46 sailors missing from the 1,200-tonne corvette. Sailors operating the ship's sonar detection system had not detected...

The FBI will be briefed Friday on a San Diego County family that has been missing for almost two months. Sheriff's Lt. Dennis Brugos said investigators are focusing their search for the McStay family in Mexico, where the FBI has more resources. Businessman Joseph McStay, his wife, Summer, and their two young sons — Gianni 4, Joseph Jr. 3 — were last heard from Feb. 4. Investigators said surveillance video may have captured images of the...

Shuttle fleet's home counts down to an uncertain future

They call it Space City, U.S.A. Drive along Highway 50 into Titusville, just across the Indian River from NASA's Kennedy Space Center, and you’ll pass a Space Shuttle Inn, Shuttle Car Wash, and Space Coast Pawn & Jewelry. One of the town's two high schools is called Astronaut High. There's an elementary school called Apollo. Shuttle technician Dan Quinn can't go shopping at the local Walmart without running into co-workers from Kennedy, by far the town's largest employer....

FAA: Pilots allowed to take antidepressants on job

Some pilots taking medication for mild or moderate depression will be able to fly as soon as next week under a new government rule aimed partly at getting those taking antidepressants to disclose the treatment. The new policy, which takes effect Monday, reverses a ban on flying for pilots taking medications like Prozac. Federal Aviation Administration officials said the old rule was based on outdated versions of antidepressants that could cause drowsiness and other side effects. The medications have been...

Pope's personal preacher offers defense of pontiff

Pope Benedict XVI's personal preacher is likening accusations against the pope and the church in the sex abuse scandal to "collective violence" suffered by the Jews. The Rev. Raniero Cantalamessa said in a Good Friday sermon, with the pope listening to him in St. Peter's Basilica, that a Jewish friend has said the accusations remind him of the "more shameful aspects of anti-Semitism." The remarks came in a prayer service at the Vatican a few hours before...

'True Blood' Star Anna Paquin Uses Surprising Medium to Reveal Sexual Orientation

Hot on the heels of Ricky Martin's announcement on his personal blog that he's gay, "True Blood" star Anna Paquin used an unusual medium of her own to announce that she is bisexual. Alongside celebrities such as Elton John, Clay Aiken, and Wanda Sykes, Paquin declared her sexual orientation in a public service announcement for Cyndi Lauper's Give a Damn Campaign, which promotes equality for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community. Two videos were shot in Los Angeles on...

The sounds at the Wangjialing mine in the northern province of Shanxi were the first signs of life since the mine was flooded Sunday afternoon, rescue official Zhao Chuan said. "I'm so happy to hear the news, and I think everybody is," Tang Yinfeng,...

Employers added most jobs in 3 years in March

The nation's economy posted its largest job gain in three years in March, while the unemployment rate remained at 9.7 percent for the third straight month. The increase in payrolls is the latest sign that the economic recovery is gaining momentum and healing in the job market is beginning. Still, the healing is likely to be slow, and most economists don't expect new hiring to be fast enough this year to rapidly reduce the unemployment rate. The Labor Department said...

White House slams Karzai comments as 'troubling'

The White House on Friday delivered a stern public rebuke to Afghan President Hamid Karzai, describing his latest outburst as "genuinely troubling" and seeking "clarification" from Kabul. Karzai accused foreign powers of orchestrating election fraud last year, just three days after US President Barack Obama made a secret weekend trip to Afghanistan to warn him to do more to tackle government corruption. "Obviously some of the comments by President Karzai...

Moscow bomber was 17, alleged rebel widow

A 17-year-old from Dagestan was one of two female suicide bombers who attacked Moscow's subway, Russian investigators said Friday. A leading newspaper called her the widow of a slain Islamist rebel. President Dmitry Medvedev also urged harsher measures Friday to crack down on terrorism and the death toll from Monday's subway bombings rose to 40 as a man died in the hospital. At least 90 others were injured in the twin subway attacks. Federal investigators...
