Al Qaeda's powerful branch in Yemen has provided weapons, fighters and training with explosives over the last year to a militant Islamic group battling for power in Somalia, according to newly developed American intelligence, raising concerns of a widening alliance of terrorist groups.http://articles.latimes.com/2011/jul/18/world/la-fg-bin-laden-somalia-20110718
Leaders of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula in Yemen also have urged members of the hard-line Shabab militia to attack targets outside Africa for the first time, said U.S. officials who were briefed on the intelligence.
Two years ago, President Barack Obama launched what he called a “historic” campaign to bolster the nation’s community colleges. These days, however, the sour economy seems to have left a far deeper imprint on community colleges than the president’s American Graduation Initiative.http://www.miamiherald.com/2011/07/17/2318722/obstacles-litter-the-way-to-earning.html

Mr Chavez said his chemotherapy would start on Sunday and he would be away for a "few days".
If a parent beats their child, the state can step in and remove the child from the harmful situation.http://www.whptv.com/news/local/story/Should-parents-lose-custody-of-obese-children/n_56SlL4B0ayk9coSmu6Kw.cspx
But if a parent allows their child to become overweight to the point that their health is affected, should the state have the same right to intervene?
In a commentary posted in the Journal of the American Medical Association, professor Lindsey Murtagh and Dr. David S. Ludwig, of Harvard University, argue that severely obese children should be removed from their homes. They also say that government involvement may be justifiable because of the imminent health risks, and the parents' chronic failure to address medical problems.
