ByJillLawless The Associated Press EDINBURGH, SCOTLAND Followingalongnightthat brought floods of relief for some and bitter disappoint- ment for others, Scotland awoke with a hangover Friday after voting to re- ject independence. Now, the task was to heal the divide — and use the energy the referendum unleashed to hold London politicians to promises of more powers for Scotland. The result — 55 percent to 45 percent — was more decisive than pollsters had foreseen and prompted Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond, who led the Yes campaign, to resign. But it meant almost half of Scotland's more than 5 million people woke up in a country, the United King- dom, that they wished to leave. Queen Elizabeth II, who has kept out of the politi- cal debate, said Friday that "all of us throughout the United Kingdom will re- spect" the result. In a statement from her Scottish home at Balmoral castle, the monarch said "despite the range of views that have been expressed, we have in common an en- during love of Scotland, which is one of the things that helps to unite us all." Still, Yes supporters have first to get over their bitter disappointment. "This time, I thought my vote would count for some- thing," said truck driver Calum Noble, 25, his voice cracking with emotion as a drizzly mist enveloped the Scottish city of Glasgow. "I wanted a better coun- try, but it's all been for nothing. I don't believe we will get any of the things the London politicians promised." Salmond's impassioned plea to launch a new na- tion fell short, with Scots choosing instead the secu- rity of remaining in union with England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Yet the independence drive tapped a wellspring of youth and energy that campaigners vowed would endure. "My time as leader is nearly over, but for Scotland the campaign continues and the dream shall never die," Salmond said Friday as he announced he would step down as first minister and leader of the Scottish Na- tional Party in November. "We now have the op- portunity to hold Westmin- ster's feet to the fire on the vow that they have made to devolve further meaningful power to Scotland," he said. In the last weeks of the campaign, Prime Minister David Cameron and other London-based politicians vowed more autonomy for Scotland if voters rejected separation. A visibly relieved Cameron said Friday he would stick to his word on further powers for each of the U.K. regions. BRITAIN A erUKvote,Scotsfaceadjusting MATTDUNHAM—THEASSOCIATEDPRESS Supporters of the No vote in the Scottish independence referendum wave British Union flags in George Square, Glasgow, Scotland, on Friday. By Ken Dilanian The Associated Press WASHINGTON The CIA has curbed spying on friendly governments in West- ern Europe in response to the furor over a German caught selling secrets to the United States and the Edward Snowden revela- tions of classified informa- tion held by the National Se- curity Agency, according to current and former U.S. of- ficials. The pause in decades of espionage, which remains partially in effect, was de- signed to give CIA officers time to examine whether they were being careful enough and to evaluate whether spying on allies is worth running the risk of discovery, said a U.S. official who has been briefed on the situation. Under the stand-down order, case officers in Eu- rope largely have been for- bidden from undertaking "unilateral operations" such as meeting with sources they have recruited within allied governments. Such clandestine meetings are the bedrock of spying. CIA officers are still al- lowed to meet with their counterparts in the host country's intelligence ser- vice, conduct joint oper- ations with host country services and conduct oper- ations with the approval of the host government. Re- cently, unilateral operations targeting third country na- tionals_Russians in France, for example_were restarted. But most meetings with sources who are host na- tionals remain on hold, as do new recruitments. The CIA declined to com- ment. James Clapper, the U.S. director of national intel- ligence, said during a pub- lic event Thursday that the U.S. is assuming more risk because it has stopped spy- ing on "specific targets," though he didn't spell out details. Spying stand-downs are common after an operation is compromised, but "never this long or this deep," said a former CIA official, who, like others interviewed for this story, spoke on condi- tion of anonymity.

Patchy low clouds and drizzle in the mid-Atlantic will give way to afternoon sunshine in most areas. An advancing cool front that cuts into building warmth and humidity over the Midwest will bring locally gusty thunderstorms from the central Plains to the Great Lakes. The storms could be a threat for afternoon and evening football games in the region. In the South, heavy rain will exit much of Florida, while downpours continue over parts of New Mexico and Texas.
