8A – Daily News – Friday, October 1, 2010 WORLD BRIEFING NC Highway Patrol says 3 killed in crash on rain-slicked road RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — The North Carolina Highway Patrol says three people were killed when the sport utility vehicle they were traveling in skidded off a rain- slicked road and tumbled into a ditch filled with water. State Highway Patrol Trooper Gary Edwards said troopers initially reported five people were killed because two children, 2- year-old twins, did not have a pulse when emergency workers arrived on scene. But the children survived and were being treat- ed late Thursday afternoon. Edwards said the family of five from Atlanta was traveling westbound on U.S. 64 east of Creswell around 12:20 p.m. Thurs- day when their Jeep hit a patch of standing water, hydroplaned and skidded off the highway into the ditch. Creswell is approximately 145 miles east of Raleigh. Emanuel to resign Friday, to begin Chicago mayor bid CHICAGO (AP) — Rahm Emanuel will resign as White House chief of staff on Friday and will begin his campaign for Chicago mayor by meeting with voters in the city on Monday, two people familiar with Emanuel’s plans said. The two people, who spoke Thursday on condition of anonymity because they did not want to pre-empt Emanuel’s announce- ment, said he will return to Chicago over the weekend and begin touring neighborhoods Monday. ‘‘He intends to run for mayor,’’ one of the people told The Associated Press. Both people said they did not know when Emanuel would make an official announcement about his mayoral bid but that he would launch a website with a mes- sage to Chicago voters in the near future. White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said President Barack Obama plans to make a personnel announcement Friday. Whitman’s husband saw letter warning of ex-maid’s status SANTA MONICA (AP) — The attor- ney for Meg Whitman’s former house- keeper released a copy Thursday of a purported 2003 letter that she says shows the Republican gubernatorial can- didate knew all along that the maid might be an illegal immigrant. The letter from the Social Security Administration has emerged as a poten- tially explosive document in the Califor- nia governor’s race between Whitman and Democrat Jerry Brown. Whitman has called for tougher sanctions against employers who hire illegal workers, and the fact that she had an illegal immigrant on her payroll for a number of years could undercut her credibility. At issue is whether Whitman knew about the government letter in 2003, as attorney Gloria Allred and the former housekeeper have alleged. Whitman said she and her husband never saw the letter. But Allred produced a copy of the let- ter Thursday that she says shows Whit- man’s husband, Dr. Griffith Harsh, par- tially filled it out. If true, that would mean Whitman and her husband were aware of the immigration problem years ago. ‘‘At bottom of letter, ‘‘Dr. Harsh has written: ’Nicky, please check this. Thanks,’’’ Allred said, adding that the housekeeper recognized the handwriting as belonging to Whitman’s husband. Senate votes to ban loud TV commercials WASHINGTON (AP) — Legislation to turn down the volume on those loud TV commercials that send couch pota- toes diving for their remote controls looks like it’ll soon become law. The Senate unanimously passed a bill late Wednesday to require television sta- tions and cable companies to keep com- mercials at the same volume as the pro- grams they interrupt. The House has passed similar legisla- tion. Before it can become law, minor differences between the two versions have to be worked out when Congress returns to Washington after the Nov. 2 election. Ever since television caught on in the 1950s, the Federal Communication Commission has been getting com- plaints about blaring commercials. But the FCC concluded in 1984 there was no fair way to write regulations controlling the ‘‘apparent loudness’’ of commer- cials. So it hasn’t been regulating them. Correcting sound levels is more com- plicated than using the remote control. The television shows and ads come from a variety of sources, from local business- Your Business can be featured in the... prison. The suicide shocked and disturbed gay rights activists and others on cam- pus. Ancient penguin stood 5 feet tall WASHINGTON (AP) — Some ancient penguins may have been twice as big as today’s Emperor penguin but they lacked the dashing tuxedo. Researchers unearthed remains of a nearly 5-foot-tall penguin that roamed what is now Peru about 36 million years ago, and they also discovered fossilized feathers that show back then, the flight- less bird was a more motley mix of red- dish-brown and gray. Thursday’s report in the journal Sci- ence is more than a curiosity about color. Analyzing the fossil led to a new discov- ery about modern penguins, which in turn raises questions about how their feathers evolved to help them become such expert swimmers. It’s one of the largest penguins that es to syndicators. Protesters throw Ecuador into chaos QUITO, Ecuador (AP) — The gov- ernment declared a state of siege Thurs- day after rebellious police angered by a law that cuts their benefits plunged this small South American nation into chaos, roughing up the president, shutting down airports and blocking highways in a nationwide strike. Incensed officers shoved President Rafael Correa around and pelted him with tear gas and water when he tried to speak at a police barracks in the capital. Correa, 47, was hospitalized from the effects of the gas. The state of siege puts the military in charge of public order, suspending civil liberties and allowing soldiers to carry out searches without a warrant. Hundreds of officers involved in the insurrection took over police barracks in Quito, Guayaquil and other cities. Some set up roadblocks of burning tires, cut- ting off highway access to the capital. NJ college student’s suicide illustrates the Internet’s dangers PISCATAWAY, N.J. (AP) — The shocking suicide of a college student whose sex life was broadcast over the Web illustrates yet again the Internet’s alarming potential as a means of tor- menting others and raises questions whether young people in the age of Twitter and Facebook can even distin- guish public from private. Cruel gossip and vengeful acts once confined to the schoolyard or the dorm can now make their way around the world instantly via the Internet, along with photos and live video. ‘‘It’s just a matter of when the next October 23-24, 2010 10,000 total distribution!

THANK YOU Senia Owensby Tabloid, newspaper suicide’s going to hit, when the next attack’s going to hit,’’ said Parry Aftab, a New Jersey lawyer who runs the website WiredSafety. Last week, Tyler Clementi, a shy, 18- year-old Rutgers University freshman and gifted violist, jumped to his death from the George Washington Bridge after his roommate and another class- mate allegedly used a webcam to secret- ly broadcast his dorm-room sexual encounters with another man. The two classmates have been charged with inva- sion of privacy, with the most serious charges carrying up to five years in ever lived, estimated to have been twice as heavy as the average Emperor pen- guin of today. The second species of giant penguin discovered in Peru, it was given the name Inkayacu paracasensis, or Water King, part of a cluster of now- extinct penguin species that apparently ranged over much of the Southern Hemi- sphere. A stroke of luck helped paleontolo- gists find the feathers. A student on the dig team, from the Museo de Historia Natural in Lima, discovered the fossil’s foot and noticed it had scales, evidence of soft tissue that’s rarely preserved. Maybe there was more soft tissue, and if so, they’d have to excavate extra careful- ly. ‘‘We got incredibly excited,’’ said paleontologist Julia Clarke of the Uni- versity of Texas at Austin, who led the team. ‘‘Moving really slowly, flake by flake by flake through this giant block,’’ they eventually uncovered a flipper with layers of small feathers and under it, fos- silized body feathers, too. Wrong number on Ochocinco’s cereal sends callers to sex line, not charity CINCINNATI (AP) — Charity- minded callers are getting intercepted by a phone-sex line because of a typo on Chad Ochocinco’s Cereal boxes. The phone number is supposed to con- nect callers to Feed the Children, which benefits from sales of the Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver’s cereal. But the box has the wrong toll-free prefix, meaning callers get a seductive- sounding woman who makes risque suggestions and then asks for a credit card number. Cincinnati-based Kroger Co. said Thursday it was pulling all Ochocinco cereal boxes from its grocery shelves because of the error. Some local stores had them on special display after the launch about a month ago. Pittsburgh-based PLB Sports Inc., which specializes in limited-edition products featuring star athletes and their favorite charities, apologized for the error in a statement Thursday. The statement said the boxes will be re- issued with the correct toll-free number. Ochocinco told WCPO-TV that the number was clearly a mistake and he’s sure that the maker will fix the prob- lem.
