The pocket of seasonable to cooler- than-average air will hold over the mid-Atlantic, New England and upper Great Lakes. Showers and thunderstorms will reach from the central Appala- chians to the Upper Midwest. Some thunderstorms will turn severe from Minnesota and Wisconsin to northeastern Colorado. Late-day storms can also become severe from Kansas to Texas. Winds will raise the fire danger in the Southwest.

The Vatican's U.N. am- bassador in Geneva, Arch- bishop Silvano Tomasi, re- leased the figures during a second day of grilling by a U.N. committee monitoring implementation of the U.N. treaty against torture. Tomasi insisted that the Holy See was only obliged to abide by the torture treaty inside the tiny Vatican City State, which has a population of only a few hundred people. But significantly, he didn't dispute the committee's con- tention that sexual violence against children can be con- sidered torture. Legal ex- perts have said that classi- fying sexual abuse as torture could expose the Catho- lic Church to a new wave of lawsuits since torture cases in much of the world don't carry statutes of limitations. Tomasi also provided sta- tistics about how the Holy See has adjudicated sex abuse cases for the past de- cade. The Vatican in 2001 required bishops and reli- gious superiors to forward all credible cases of abuse to Rome for review after deter- mining that they were shuf- fling pedophile priests from diocese to diocese rather than subjecting them to church trials. Only in 2010 did the Vatican explicitly tell bishops and superiors to also report credible cases to police where local reporting laws require them to. The Vatican statistics are notableinthattheyshowhow the peaks in numbers over the years — both of cases re- ported and sanctions meted out — roughly parallels the years in which abuse scan- dals were in the news. And they showed that far from di- minishinginrecentyears,the numberofcasesreportedan- nually to the Vatican has re- mained a fairly constant 400 or so since 2010, the last year the scandal erupted in pub- lic around the globe. These cases, however, concern mostly abuse that occurred decades ago. The Associated Press re- ported in January then-Pope Benedict XVI defrocked 384 priests in the final two years of his pontificate, citing docu- mentation that Tomasi's del- egation had prepared for an- other U.N. hearing monitor- ing a treaty on the rights of children. Tomasi said the January figures were "incomplete" and that the data he pro- vided to the U.N. committee Tuesday was the first ever comprehensive year-by-year breakdown of cases reported and adjudicated.

"Don't worry, we're sol- diers," one 16-year-old girl recalls them saying. "Noth- ingisgoingtohappentoyou." The gunmen commanded the hundreds of students at the Chibok Government Girls Secondary School to gather outside. The men went into a storeroom and removed all the food. Then they set fire to the room. "They ... started shout- ing, 'Allahu Akhbar,' (God is great)," the 16-year-old stu- dent said. "And we knew." What they knew was chilling: The men were not government soldiers at all. They were members of the ruthless Islamic extremist group called Boko Haram. They kidnapped the entire group of girls and drove them away in pickup trucks into the dense forest. Three weeks later, 276 girlsstillaremissing.Atleast two have died of snakebite, andabout20othersareill,ac- cordingtoanintermediaryin touch with their captors. Their plight — and the failure of the Nigerian mil- itary to find them — has drawn international atten- tion to an escalating Islamic extremist insurrection that has killed more than 1,500 so far this year. Boko Ha- ram,thenamemeans"West- ern education is sinful," has claimedresponsibilityforthe masskidnappingandthreat- ened to sell the girls. The claim was made in a video seen Monday. Amid growing outrage at the girls' prolonged cap- tivity, Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan Tues- day announced he has ac- cepted a U.S. offer to help in the search, including secu- rity personnel and uniden- tified assets. British governments also expressed concern over the fate of the missing students, and protests have erupted in major Nigerian cities and New York.

The foreign ministers of Ukraine and Russia met Tuesday, but their open dis- agreements did nothing to suggest a diplomatic solu- tion was near. Diplomacy was to be taken up again to- dayduringameetinginMos- cow between Russian Pres- ident Vladimir Putin and Swiss President Didier Bur- khalter, whose country cur- rently chairs the Organiza- tionforSecurityandCooper- ation in Europe. Russia and the West have expressed a desire for the OSCE to play a greater role in defusing the tensions in Ukraine. Four government troops and 30 militants were killed in the gunbattles, Ukraine's interior minister said Tues- day. The pro-Russia militia said 10 people were killed, in- cluding civilians.
