Obama To Voters: Stand With Me On Health Care
Democrats still need the votes to pass comprehensive health care legislation, and President Obama today appealed to the public to help push their representatives to vote for his proposal. "They need to hear your voices because right now the Washington echo chamber is in full throttle," President Obama said today at a town hall at Arcadia University in Glenside, Pennsylvania. "The time for talk is over. We need to see where people stand." Some Democrats are hesitating to support President Obama's latest proposal because of conclusions from Republicans and the media that the bill will be politically damaging, the president noted. He said it should not matter whether it is a hard vote to take. CBS

FBI Warns Brewing Cyberwar May Have Same Impact As 'Well-Placed Bomb'
NATO and America's European allies are sounding the alarm over what they say are increased cyber attacks originating from China that are targeting key government and intelligence computers. The warning comes on the heels of an FBI report last week detailing the "real ... and expanding threat" of cyber terrorism, especially from Al Qaeda. FBI Director Robert Mueller warned Thursday that cyber-terrorists "will either train their own recruits or hire outsiders... as a means to damage both our economy and our psyche -- and countless extremists have taken this to heart," he said.

Demonstrators Pro And Con Greet Obama In Glenside
With shouts of "Kill the bill!" and "Thank you, Mr. President!" demonstrators staked out their positions on health-care legislation yesterday outside the Arcadia University gymnasium, where President Obama urged support. Tea-party activists who oppose the legislation outnumbered supporters, with about 200 sign-wielding, slogan-shouting tea partyers attending a morning news conference before Obama arrived. "At stake for America is our future, our independence, and our liberty," said Steve Lonegan, a former New Jersey gubernatorial candidate and the state director for Americans for Prosperity, a conservative public policy group.

NTSB: Pilots Need Air-Hazard Skills
Accident investigators say new flight simulators could help correct the biggest killer in aviation: pilots who can't recover from out-of-control situations like the one that killed 50 people in a crash near Buffalo last year. Pilots at airlines receive almost no hands-on training in how to recover from aerodynamic stalls and other extreme scenarios, according to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). The reason for the glaring shortfall is that current flight simulators, the backbone of airline training programs, cannot accurately reproduce such calamities. USA Today

 U.S. Has Lost Global Standing Under Obama
A majority of Americans say the United States is less respected in the world than two years ago and believe President Obama and other Democrats fall short of Republicans on the issue of national security, according to a poll by two left-leaning groups. The Democracy Corps-Third Way survey released Monday finds that by a 10-point margin — 51 percent to 41 percent — Americans think the standing of the United States has dropped during the first 13 months of Mr. Obama's presidency.

Failed Banks May Get Pension-Fund Backing As FDIC Seeks Cash
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. is trying to encourage public retirement funds that control more than $2 trillion to buy all or part of failed lenders, taking a more direct role in propping up the banking system, said people briefed on the matter. Direct investments may allow funds such as those in Oregon, New Jersey and California to cut fees for private-equity managers, and the agency to get better prices for distressed assets, the people said. They declined to be identified because talks with regulators are confidential. Bloomberg

Obama Faces Pushback On NASA Cuts
President Obama next month will travel to Florida to explain his priorities for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration -- including his intention to eliminate NASA's program to send astronauts back to the moon, a move members of Congress from across the country are planning to resist. The White House announced Sunday Mr. Obama will host a conference in Florida on April 15 to discuss the changes to NASA, such as the cancellation of Constellation, the $108 billion project to return astronauts to the moon by 2020 and take them into deeper space. The president has also proposed outsourcing many of NASA's current manned exploration programs to private spaceships. CBS

FDIC Chief Says Biggest Banks Must Increase Lending
The biggest banks in the United States should suffer under the glare of the public spotlight if they do not increase lending to businesses and consumers, a key U.S. banking regulator said Monday. In a congressional hearing, Vikram Pandit says banks need more regulation."A light needs to be shined on this and explanations need to be made where credit is not being provided," Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. chief Sheila Bair said at an economists' conference just outside Washington, D.C. U.S. banks last year registered their steepest decline in lending in the last 67 years, with total \outstanding loans plunging by 7.5 percent. While easy credit to unworthy borrowers was one of the culprits of the recent financial crisis, tight credit could now hinder the country's economic recovery. ABC

Health Bill To Affect Part-Time Workers
A Democratic aide says a new provision in the health care bill will require businesses to count part-time workers when calculating penalties for failing to provide coverage. The bill originally passed by the Senate only penalized businesses for full-time workers who weren't covered. The Senate bill is being used as the basis for a final package President Barack Obama wants Congress to pass in the next few weeks. The inclusion of part-time workers is part of a package of final changes that is nearing completion, according to the aide, who spoke on condition of anonymity because it's not been made public.

Despite Fears, Big Powers Resist Trade Wars
It's the trade war that wasn't. Fears that the deep global recession would fuel protectionist measures have not been borne out, a major survey found. Commissioned by the Group of 20 leading industrial powers, the study found that the United States and its major trading partners have cut back sharply on trade-killing restrictions since September, despite strong political pressures at home.

Toyota Goes On Offensive To Discredit Critic
Toyota gave detailed evidence Monday that it says disproves claims that electronics may cause the unwanted acceleration that led to the recall of more than 8 million cars and trucks. The automaker held a demonstration Monday to counter tests by an Illinois engineering professor who said Toyota engines could rev without a driver pressing on the gas. The automaker says mechanical problems, not electronics, are to blame. MSNBC

Poll Finds Blacks Motivated To Vote In November
Democrats facing strong headwinds this election season have at least one reason for optimism, according to polling that found the party's large African-American voting bloc eager to stay involved even without Barack Obama on the ballot. About two-thirds of black adults in four states say they are closely following news about the upcoming midterm elections, and between 74 percent and 80 percent say they are very likely to vote, according to the poll, conducted by the nonpartisan Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies. The organization surveyed 500 African-Americans in each state _ Missouri, Indiana, Arkansas and South Carolina _ all of which have Senate races in November. Las Vegas Sun

Most U.S. Stocks Rise Following AIG’s $15.5 Billion Unit Sale
Most U.S. stocks rose after American International Group Inc. announced the $15.5 billion sale of a unit and Sprint Nextel Corp. said it expects revenue growth in the next several quarters, overshadowing a drop in drugmakers. AIG climbed 3.6 percent after agreeing to sell its American Life Insurance Co. unit to MetLife Inc. Sprint, the third- largest U.S. wireless carrier, rallied 3.7 percent. McDonald’s Corp. gained 2.3 percent after global sales topped estimates. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index fell for the first time in seven days, led by health-care stocks, after President Barack Obama embarked on a final push to overhaul the medical industry. Bloomberg

Petraeus For President? 'No' Is His Handy Answer
For a guy who professes to have no interest in running for president, Gen. David Petraeus can come off as surprisingly eager to talk about it — sometimes without even being asked. In a recent appearance at the World Affairs Council of Philadelphia he turned a question about his retirement plans into an opportunity to deny he has political ambitions. An audience member asked if he planned to write a book when he left the Army. He responded by saying he'd feared the politics question. "The answer is 'no,'" he said — and he didn't mean no book; he meant no race for the White House. Atklanta Journal

Budget Woes Fuel Plea For Residents To Send In Census Forms
The 2010 Census will determine how more than $500 billion in federal funds is divvied up each year, according to a new study that adds urgency to cash-strapped jurisdictions pushing residents to mail in their census questionnaires later this month. The calculation by Andrew D. Reamer, a policy analyst with the Brookings Institution, is significantly higher than the $447 billion the federal government distributed in 2008 based on census counts. That's in part because Reamer included the impact of federal stimulus funds that are being sent out in response to the recession. Washington Post

N. Korea Says It Is Ready To 'Blow Up' U.S.
North Korea's army said Monday it is ready to "blow up" South Korea and the U.S., hours after the allies kicked off annual military drills that Pyongyang has slammed as a rehearsal for attack. South Korea and the U.S. — which normally dismiss such threats as rhetoric — began 11 days of drills across South Korea on Monday morning to rehearse how the U.S. would deploy in time of emergency on the Korean peninsula. The U.S. and South Korea argue the drills — which include live firing by U.S. Marines, aerial attack drills and urban warfare training — are purely defensive. Fox News

US Airways Fined For Fare Price Advertising Violation
The Department of Transportation slapped US Airways with a $40,000 civil penalty Monday for violating price advertising rules. The carrier posted one-way fares on its Web site for a short time without indicating that additional fees and taxes would apply, violating a rule that requires clear disclosure of the existence of those charges on the first screen where fares are quoted, according to the Department of Transportation.

Japan Confirms Cold War-Era 'Secret' Pacts With US
Japan confirmed for the first time Tuesday the existence of once-secret Cold War-era pacts with the U.S. that tacitly allowed nuclear-armed ships to enter Japanese ports in violation of Tokyo's postwar principles. While declassified U.S. documents have already confirmed such 1960s agreements, Tuesday's revelation broke with decades of official denials. Detroit News

Greek PM Not Looking For Aid In Meeting With Obama
Ahead of a meeting Tuesday with President Barack Obama, Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou said the United States cannot afford to ignore the financial woes of his country and, by extension, Europe. "For America, a weak euro means a rising dollar. That, in turn, means a rising U.S. trade deficit," Papandreou said Monday. "If the EU, still America's biggest trading partner, should falter, the consequences here would be palpable." Papandreou also said he is not looking for a handout from Washington. Instead, Greek officials want to see the United States impose stricter regulations on hedge funds and currency traders, which Athens believes aggravated their crisis. Boston Globe

Former Congressman Massa Says Democrats Set Him Up Over Health Care
Conservative activists rallied Monday to the side of a liberal New York Democrat who had resigned from the House, after he charged that his party's leaders had conspired to oust him over his opposition to President Obama's health-care legislation.

Top Court To Decide On Anti-Gay Protests At Military Funerals
The high court agreed to consider whether the protesters' message and picketing was protected by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, even though it was a private family funeral. The justices said they would hear an appeal by Albert Snyder, the father of a Marine killed in Iraq in 2006. The family's traditional funeral service was held at St. John's Catholic Church in Westminster, Maryland. The funeral for Marine Lance Corporal Matthew Snyder drew picketing by members of the fundamentalist Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas. Reuters

Kabul Bans Dark Tinted Windows After Attacks
Afghanistan's capital is cracking down on vehicles with dark tinted windows to increase security following a spate of terrorist attacks in Kabul. Interior ministry spokesman Zemeri Bashary says the ban will take effect Thursday. Drivers who do not comply will have their vehicles impounded. The restriction will make it easier for authorities to quickly see what is inside vehicles, and Bashary says it's necessary to keep Taliban and other militants from attacking Kabul, which has been hit by a string of car bombs and suicide attacks. The latest assault on Feb. 26 left 17 people dead. Houston Chronicle

Tax Soda, Pizza To Cut Obesity
The researchers, writing in the journal Archives of Internal Medicine on Monday, suggested taxing could be used as a weapon in the fight against obesity, which costs the United States an estimated $147 billion a year in health costs. "While such policies will not solve the obesity epidemic in its entirety and may face considerable opposition from food manufacturers and sellers, they could prove an important strategy to address overconsumption, help reduce energy intake and potentially aid in weight loss and reduced rates of diabetes among U.S. adults," wrote the team led by Kiyah Duffey of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

EU Warns US Over Pentagon Tanker Contract
The EU has warned Washington that future defense deals with the U.S. could be affected if a recent Air Force contract for air-refueling tankers proved to have favored a U.S. company. The European Commission said Tuesday a decision by a European-led consortium not to submit a bid for the Pentagon's contract for next generation tankers is "highly regrettable." EADS, the parent company of Airbus, had partnered with Northrop Grumman to vie for the project. They pulled their bid on Monday, however, saying the terms of the deal appeared designed to favor a smaller jet offered by rival Boeing Co. Charlotte Observer

China Vows To Improve Social Safety Net
China's top lawmaker said Tuesday that legislative priorities this year would be to improve social security and promote more equitable economic development, but he rejected calls to open up the political system.

Seniors Pinched By Rising Costs For Home Care
Rising property taxes, failing eyesight and even a tumble that cracked her tailbone haven't forced 89-year-old Angeline DiBeneditto from the home she's had for more than six decades. Now, though, changes in a Connecticut program that helps her and others live independently could push her toward a nursing home after all if she can't scrounge at least $180 more from her monthly budget. DeBeneditto, who's lived on the same block for 87 of her 89 years, said that if it appears she'll need to move to a nursing home rather than continue living independently, "I would ask the dear Lord to go ahead and take me."

U.S. Middle East envoy George Mitchell said Israel and the Palestinians agreed to a new round of peace talks Monday.
Mitchell, who made the announcement just two hours after Vice President Joe Biden arrived in Israel for a four-day Middle East visit, said the negotiations would be indirect and mediated by the United States, The Washington Post reported.

Iraq Election Turnout 62%, Officials Say
The voter turnout in Iraq's general elections was 62%, officials said, despite attacks that killed 38 people. Preliminary results are not expected for several days but the turnout figure is down from the 75% who voted in the 2005 general elections. Prime Minister Nouri Maliki's State of Law Coalition is widely expected to win the most seats. But it is unlikely one party will form a government alone and there may be months of negotiations on a coalition. BBC

Britain Must Not Retreat Into Itself After Iraq War Says Foreign Secretary David Miliband
Britain must not turn its back on the world as a result of the controversy over the Iraq war, Foreign Secretary David Miliband said today. Mr Miliband told the Chilcot Inquiry it was important not to learn the "wrong lesson" from the conflict and to decide to leave international engagement to other countries. He also argued that the authority of the United Nations would have been badly damaged if the UK and the US had not followed through threats to Saddam Hussein with military action. Independent

Labour's Scramble To Launch £11BN Spree
Labour was accused yesterday of rushing through £11bn of spending before the general election in a "scorched earth" policy to prevent its pet projects being scrapped by an incoming Conservative government. Despite the looming squeeze on public spending, ministers are trying to push through several massive computer contracts before ballot day, which is widely expected on 6 May. The "break clauses" in some deals may make them very expensive to cancel, locking in the new government. Independent

US Keeps Secret Anti-Taliban Militia On A Bright Leash
They are a secret tribal militia, the controversial creation of US commanders in Afghanistan eager to buttress local opposition to the Taliban. So clandestine are the units formed to protect villages in a critical valley in southern Afghanistan that US officials and special forces commanders in Kabul refuse to discuss them. But the Guardian has learned that in one important regard, the Local Defence Initiative forces are not so secretive after all. As they patrol villages close to the key southern city of Kandahar, the fighters are being forced to wear bright yellow reflector belts so that their special forces mentors do not mistake them for Taliban.
