Obama seeks to revive agenda in hurting Ohio ELYRIA, Ohio (AP) — President Barack Obama tried to revive his battered agenda and rally despondent Democrats on Friday with a renewed emphasis on jobs. His visit to this struggling Rust Belt city capped a tough first-anniversary week for a presidency that suffered jolts at the hands of Massachusetts voters and the Supreme Court. ''I'm not going to win every round,'' Obama told a town hall audience. But, striking a populist tone on a campaign-style swing, Obama pledged, ''I can promise you there will be more fights in the days ahead.'' He used the word ''fight'' or some variation over a dozen times as he tried out a revamped mes- sage focused mainly on the economy, part of a stepped up effort to per- suade Americans he's doing all he can to create jobs. ''This isn't about me. This is about you,'' he said. Haiti quake survivors on the move PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — By boat or by bus, by bicycle and on foot along clogged and broken roads, earthquake survivors streamed away from this city and its land- scape of desolation Friday and into Haiti's hinter- lands and the unknown. The government and international agencies urgently searched for sites to build tent cities on Port- au-Prince's outskirts to shelter hundreds of thou- sands of the homeless staying behind before springtime's onslaught of floods and hurricanes. ''We need to get people out of the sun and ele- ments,'' U.N. spokesman Nicholas Reader said as relief teams worked to deliver food, water and medical aid to the popula- tion, estimated at 1 mil- lion, sprawled over some 600 settlements around the rubble-strewn capital and in the quake zone beyond. Into this bleak picture Friday came unexpected word of a rescue: An elderly woman, in bad condition, was said to have been pulled from ruins 10 days after the killer quake. But doctors saw little hope of saving her life. The 84-year-old woman was extricated from the wreckage of her home, relatives told doc- tors, who administered oxygen and intravenous fluids at the General Hos- pital. The rescue was the first reported since Wednesday, when many international search teams began packing up their gear. UK raises terror level LONDON (AP) — Britain raised its terror threat alert to the second- highest level Friday, one of several recent moves the country has made to increase vigilance against international terrorists after a Christmas Day bombing attempt on a Europe-U.S. flight. The threat level was raised from ''substantial'' — where it had stood since July to indicate a strong possibility of a terrorist attack — to ''severe,'' meaning such an attack is considered highly likely. In making the announce- ment, Home Secretary Alan Johnson said the raised security level means that Britain is heightening its vigilance. But he stressed that there was no intelli- gence suggesting an attack is imminent. ''The highest security alert is 'critical,' and that means an attack is immi- nent, and we are not at that level,'' he said on British television. China slams US criticism BEIJING (AP) — Bei- jing issued a stinging response Friday to Hillary Rodham Clinton's criticism that it is jamming the free flow of words and ideas on the Internet, accusing the United States of damaging relations between the two countries by imposing its ''information imperialism'' on China. Foreign Ministry spokesman Ma Zhaoxu defended China's policies regarding the Web, saying the nation's Internet regula- tions were in line with Chi- nese law and did not ham- per the cyber activities of the world's largest online population. His remarks fol- low those made by the U.S. secretary of state, who in a speech Thursday criticized countries engaging in cyberspace censorship, and urged China to investigate computer attacks against Google. 8A – Daily News – Saturday, January 23, 2010 Come in and check out our $ 4 99 Lunch Specials We are open and NOT CLOSING Mon thru Fri 11-3 200 So.
