8A Daily News – Saturday, October 8, 2011 WORLD BRIEFING Nation adds 103,000 jobs WASHINGTON (AP) — The jobs crisis isn't get- ting worse. But it isn't get- ting much better, either. The economy added just enough jobs last month to ease fears of a new reces- sion. But hiring is still too weak to bring down unem- ployment, which has been stuck at about 9 percent for more than two years. The nation added 103,000 jobs in September, an improvement from the month before, the Labor Department said Friday. But the total includes 45,000 Verizon workers who were rehired after going on strike and were counted as job gains. Even counting those workers, the job gains weren't enough to get the economy going. It takes about 125,000 jobs a month just to keep up with popula- tion growth. For September, the unemployment rate stayed stuck at 9.1 percent.

Karman's Nobel Peace Prize draws attention to the role of women in the Arab Spring uprisings; they have rebelled not only against dictators but against a tradi- tional, conservative mindset that fears women as agents of change. Women have participat- ed in all the protests sweep- ing the Arab world, work- ing both online to mobilize and on the ground to march, chant and even throw them- selves into stone-throwing clashes with security forces — side by side with men. The response from authorities has been quick and dirty, exploiting wide- spread cultural attitudes — present even in more liberal countries — that condemn such close contact between women and men as shame- ful. In Egypt, women pro- testers detained by military troops were subjected to humiliating ''virginity tests'' that authorities claimed were to protect sol- diers from rape allegations. To the activists, they were a clear warning: women should not take part in demonstrations. It raised such an uproar that the mil- itary promised not to con- duct such tests again. Fighters assault Gadhafi's hometown SIRTE, Libya (AP) — Revolutionary fighters assaulted Moammar Gad- hafi's hometown from all sides Friday in what they hope will be a final all-out offensive to crush resistance in the most important bas- tion of regime loyalists. Libya's new leaders say Sirte's fall is critical to for- mally declaring liberation and setting a timeline for elections — even if fighting persists elsewhere and the ousted leader is nowhere to be found — more than six weeks after the then-rebels seized control of the capital and most other parts of the country. Smoke drifted over the skyline and explosions thundered throughout the besieged city, as long lines of civilians fleeing by car formed at checkpoints manned by revolutionary forces. Anti-Gadhafi fighters pushed into the Mediter- ranean coastal city from the west, east and south in heavy fighting, trying to squeeze his supporters into a smaller and smaller perimeter. The two sides battered each other with rockets, mortar shells and tank fire, as Gadhafi snipers fired down on fighters advancing through housing complexes. Friday's push marked the largest new assault on the city in weeks. The former rebels had said they were delaying a final push to allow civilians to escape. A U.S. administration official, speaking on condi- tion of anonymity to discuss intelligence matters, said that 80 percent of the city was now pacified or under the control of the transition- al government. The official said the remaining area might take a little more time as forces move methodical- ly to eliminate the resis- tance. New advice against prostate test WASHINGTON (AP) — Men finally may be get- ting a clearer message about undergoing PSA screening for prostate cancer: Don't do it. They may not listen. After all, the vast majority of men over 50 already get tested. The idea that finding cancer early can harm instead of help is a hard one to understand. But it's at the heart of a government panel's draft recommenda- tion that those PSA blood tests should no longer be part of routine screening for healthy men. The U.S. Preventive Ser- vices Task Force examined all the evidence and found little if any reduction in deaths from routine PSA screening. But it did con- clude that too many men are diagnosed with tumors that never would have killed them.
