6B Daily News – Saturday, February 4, 2012 WORLD BRIEFING Nation adds 243,000 jobs; Prosecutors won't charge rate lowest in 3 years WASHINGTON (AP) — In a long-awaited surge of hiring, companies added 243,000 jobs in January — across the economy, up and down the pay scale and far more than just about anyone expected. Unemployment fell to 8.3 percent, the lowest in three years. The job growth was the fastest since last March and April. Before that, the last month with stronger hiring, excluding months skewed by temporary cen- sus jobs, was March 2006. The unemployment rate came down by two notches from December. It has fallen five months in a row, the first time that has happened since 1994, two economic booms and two recessions ago. ''The economy is growing stronger,'' President Barack Obama said. ''The recovery is speeding up.'' Indeed, the report Friday from the Labor Depart- ment seemed to reinforce that the nation is entering a virtuous cycle, a reinforcing loop in which stronger hiring leads to more consumer spending, which leads to even more hiring and spending. Komen cancer charity abandons plans to cut breast-screening grants NEW YORK (AP) — For leaders of the nation's pre-eminent breast-cancer charity, it was a firestorm they didn't see coming — and couldn't withstand. Susan G. Komen for the Cure on Friday aban- doned plans to eliminate funding for Planned Par- enthood. The dramatic retreat followed a three-day furor that resounded across the Internet, in Congress and — perhaps most tellingly — among Komen affiliates who openly rebelled, suggesting the leader- ship had bowed to anti-abortion pressure. ''We want to apologize to the American public for recent decisions that cast doubt upon our com- mitment to our mission of saving women's lives,'' a Komen statement said. As first reported by The Associated Press on Tuesday, Komen had adopted criteria excluding Planned Parenthood from future grants for breast- cancer screenings because it was under government investigation, citing a probe launched by a Florida congressman at the urging of anti-abortion groups. ''We will amend the criteria to make clear that disqualifying investigations must be criminal and conclusive in nature and not political,'' Komen said Friday. ''That is what is right and fair.'' cyclist Lance Armstrong LOS ANGELES (AP) — Federal prosecutors dropped their investigation of Lance Armstrong on Friday, ending a nearly two-year effort aimed at determining whether the seven-time Tour de France winner and his teammates participated in a doping program. Armstrong has steadfastly denied he doped dur- ing his unparalleled career, but the possibility of criminal charges threatened to stain his legacy as the world's greatest cyclist and could have cast a shad- ow over his cancer charity work. ''This is great news,'' Armstrong attorney Mark Fabiani said in a statement. ''Lance is pleased that the United States Attorney made the right decision, and he is more determined than ever to devote his time and energy to Livestrong and to the causes that have defined his career.'' The probe, anchored in Los Angeles where a grand jury was presented evidence by federal prose- cutors and heard testimony from Armstrong's for- mer teammates and associates, began with a separate investigation of Rock Racing, a cycling team owned by fashion entrepreneur Michael Ball. United States Attorney Andri Birotte Jr. announced in a press release that his office ''is clos- ing an investigation into allegations of federal crim- inal conduct by members and associates of a profes- sional bicycle racing team owned in part by Lance Armstrong.'' Hackers intercept call between FBI and Scotland LONDON (AP) — Trading jokes and swap- ping leads, investigators from the FBI and Scot- land Yard spent the conference call strategizing about how to bring down the hacking collective known as Anonymous, responsible for a string of embarrassing attacks across the Internet. Unfortunately for the cyber sleuths, the hack- ers were in on the call too — and now so is the rest of the world. Anonymous published the roughly 15- minute-long recording of the call on the Internet on Friday, gloating in a Twitter message that ''the FBI might be curious how we're able to continuously read their internal comms for some time now.'' The humiliating coup exposed a vulnerability that might have had more serious consequences had someone else been listening in on the line.
