Al Qaeda: We kidnapped French workers
This reproduction of a picture taken in July 2007 shows Thierry Dole on his wedding day in Burkina Fasso. Dole was kidnapped last week with four other French nationals, a Togolese and a Madagascan from a uranium mining town in Niger. STORY HIGHLIGHTS- Al Qaeda's North African wing claims responsibility, Al-Jazeera reports
- The group says it will make its demands to the French government soon
- Five of the people abducted are French nationals, foreign ministry says
(CNN) -- Al Qaeda's North African wing, known as al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, said it is responsible for last week's kidnapping of five French nationals in Niger, the Arabic-language news network Al-Jazeera reported Tuesday.
The news agency broadcast an audio recording of a voice it identified as that of Salah Abou Mohammed, a spokesman for AQIM. CNN was not immediately able to independently confirm the report.
"Even though security was tight in the location and the security guards were many, the soldiers of Islam took control of all security and kidnapped five French nuclear experts that work at the company Areva. And we claim responsibility for this blessed operation," he said, as reported by al-Jazeera.
"And we would like to tell the French government that the mujahedeen will make their demands soon. We warn you against taking any unwise actions."
Seven people linked to a French nuclear energy company were kidnapped in the West African nation of Niger last week.
An employee of Areva and his wife were among those abducted in the northern town of Arlit, the company has said. Areva has been mining uranium for decades in Niger, one of the poorest countries in the world.
The other five were subcontractors who worked for the French construction firm Vinci, Leila Touiti, a company spokeswoman has said.
Five of the abducted are French nationals, French foreign ministry spokesman Bernard Valero has told reporters.
It was not immediately clear Tuesday whether AQIM was also claiming responsibility for the other two hostages.

Australia warns of terrorism at India Games
Indian policemen stand guard Sunday near New Delhi's Jama Masjid mosque where two foreign tourists were shot. STORY HIGHLIGHTS- NEW: Indian police say they have stepped up security
- The warning came a day after 2 tourists are shot
- Gunmen on a motorcycle fire multiple rounds at a tour bus
- Both victims are Taiwanese nationals
- Commonwealth Games
- Asia
- India
- Delhi
- South Asia
New Delhi, India (CNN) -- Australia warned its citizens Monday that next month's Commonwealth Games in India carry a "high risk of terrorism."
Australia issued the travel advisory a day after two Taiwanese nationals were wounded in a shooting at a popular tourist site in India's Old Delhi.
"Australians in New Delhi should be aware that the Commonwealth Games will be held in a security environment where there is a high risk of terrorism," the advisory said.
It added that New Delhi has seen at least 14 major terrorist attacks since 2000 in public places, such as markets and train stations.
Police in New Delhi insist Sunday's shooting was not targeted at the games.
"It was a local mischief," police spokesman Rajan Bhagat said Monday.
Security has, however, been stepped up in the Indian capital, he added.
"We assure full security not only for the Games but also for the city," Bhagat said.
The games will be held from October 3 to October 14.
Meanwhile, two of India's largest cities -- Delhi and Mumbai -- are on red alert after the shooting.
Gunmen on a motorcycle fired multiple rounds at a tour bus, Karnail Singh of Delhi police told CNN-IBN.
Police said the shooting happened near a mosque in one of the most populated parts of Old Delhi. The two gunmen fled, prompting the red alert.
"Both the injured are Taiwanese nationals," Singh said. "One of the bullets grazed the head of one tourist, and one has been hit in the stomach."
A media outlet in India received a claim of responsibility for the attack, but police are treating the claim with caution.
Police think the attack is more likely to be the work of a criminal gang than a terror attack, they said.
Police are still searching for the attackers, authorities said.
CNN's Harmeet Shah Singh contributed to this report.

You wouldve probably learnt in science class about food chains and how each one of them always begins with a producer, then primary consumer, secondary consumer and so on. Now for those of you who are vegetarians, you are breaking the food chain early as you feed directly on the producers. This means there is less food available for the consumers lower down the order. Doesnt that mean youre harming the delicate balance of our ecosystem more than non-vegetarians? :P Do you feel guilt ridden now? LOL Omnivores, you may chip in with your thoughts too...

Open Question: Histrionic Personality Disorder - knowing someone with this?
I know, or perhaps *knew* is a more suitable use of the verb now, a woman who I think has histrionic personality disorder. I am not one to classify and pigeonhole folk, but she really does seem to be a perfect example of it. I thought we were friends, but she seems to have just used me for her own sense of vanity, being inappropriately flirtatious, caring over-the-top about how she looks, making a crisis out of nothing, and pretty much being too flirty without maybe really wanting to take anything further. She's been brought up in a very traditional, conservative family in Taiwan - she is 28, so not that young, but she cannot be criticised, or told anything she does not like, without getting angry. Ironically I really began to fall for her when I began to understand her better, after spending time with her in her country this year, but she really does seem to use people - i.e. guys. We are not exactly friends anymore, but is it ever worth pursuing friendships or relationships with people like this, and how do you get through to them, without flattering their vanity? Monty

Mexican newspaper to cartels: We do not want more deaths
The killing of Luis Carlos Santiago Orozco is the latest death to stun Mexico. Family members attended his funeral Friday. STORY HIGHLIGHTS- A 21-year-old newspaper photographer was shot and killed in Juarez
- Authorities have not speculated on who might have shot him, or why
- His newspaper published an editorial Sunday directed at drug cartels in Juarez
- "It is impossible to exercise our role in these conditions," the editorial said
- Ciudad Juarez
- Mexico
- Drug Trafficking
- Murder and Homicide
- Journalism
(CNN) -- On the same day friends and family buried slain photographer Luis Carlos Santiago Orozco, the newspaper he worked for, El Diario, in an unprecedented move published an open letter to the drug cartels operating in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico.
No newspaper in Juarez has ever published an editorial directly addressed to the cartels that are battling for the trafficking corridor in the city. The letter, written by the editorial staff of the newspaper and published, pleaded with the drug gangs to end violence against journalists.
"You are, at present, the de facto authorities in this city," the newspaper's letter to the cartels said, "because the legal institutions have not been able to keep our colleagues from dying."
Santiago, 21, was killed last week while sitting in a parked car outside a shopping mall in Juarez. He is the second journalist from the paper to be killed in the last two years.
He was shot multiple times from close range, and a colleague with him was wounded. Authorities have not linked the death to the cartels, nor have authorities offered any speculation on who might have committed the killing.
"We do not want more deaths," the newspaper's letter to the cartels said Sunday. "We do not want more injuries or even more intimidation. It is impossible to exercise our role in these conditions. Tell us, then, what do you expect of us as a medium?"
The letter continued: "This is not a surrender. Nor does it mean that we've given up the work we have been developing. Instead it is a respite to those who have imposed the force of its law in this city, provided they respect the lives of those who are dedicated to the craft of reporting."
A "narcopinta," or graffiti-written message left by cartels, was found later in the city denying responsibility for Santiago's shooting, local reports said. The message was reportedly written by La Linea, the armed branch of the Juarez Cartel.
El Diario is the most popular paper in Juarez and has made a reputation for aggressively covering the drug violence
Earlier Sunday, at Santiago's funeral the climate was grim. Colleagues of the young intern spoke about a life ended too soon. For safety reasons, they asked not to be named.
"He was a youth with a lot of enthusiasm and desire to learn," a colleague of Santiago said. "It's very sad. He wanted to learn quick and to be recognized as a photographer."
Santiago's relatives remained incredulous about the entire turn of events. The youth, they said, had problems with no one.
"I wish I got to have known more about Carlos because he was a good person. He was very talented and very attentive. In a short time, he won the affection of all of us around here in El Diario," a reporter with the paper said.
Santiago died of at least seven gunshot wounds from a 9mm gun fired at short range. A second photographer from El Diario who was also in the car at the time of the shooting was injured during the cross-fire. He remains hospitalized, state authorities said.
According to local reports, preliminary versions of what transpired before the shooting indicated that on their way to the shopping mall it was possible the two photographers could have taken a photo that bothered someone.
State authorities have said they are investigating any connection between the shooting and Gustavo de la Rosa, a prominent human rights attorney and activist in Juarez. It was de La Rosa's car that Santiago was in when he was killed. The state attorney general's office had been investigating whether de La Rosa may have been the intended target.
A phone call Sunday by CNN to the Mexican state attorney general's spokesperson was not immediately returned.
De la Rosa's son, an editor at the newspaper, had loaned the car to the two photojournalists to use to drive to the mall, where they were planning to attend a photography class taught by a newspaper staff member, El Diario reported.
De la Rosa has been threatened from time to time in recent years. The attorney recently launched an investigation into the abuses by soldiers and federal police officers during detentions and military checkpoints, local reports said.
Journalist Arturo Chacon in Juarez contributed to this report.

Sweden's Left concedes defeat in historic election
Swedes hit polls in historic electionSTORY HIGHLIGHTS- NEW: The leader of the opposition coalition concedes defeat
- Polls show Sweden's ruling coalition may win a second term
- Voters may approve of the coalition's handling of the economy
- The anti-immigration Swedish Democrats may gain a parliamentary seat
Stockholm, Sweden (CNN) -- The leader of Sweden's opposition coalition conceded defeat Sunday night, marking a historic moment as a non-socialist government appeared headed for re-election to a second term for the first time in the country's political history.
Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt's centre-right four-party coalition -- consisting of the Moderates, the Liberals, the Christian Democrats and the Centre party -- appeared poised to hold on to power, judging by early and preliminary election results.
With nearly 65 percent of the voting districts reporting -- 3,663 of 5,668 -- the coalition had 49.1 percent of the vote, officials at the Swedish Election Authority said. The opposition "red-green" coalition -- consisting of the Social Democrats, the Left party and the Green Party -- had 43.5 percent, they said.
The leader of the red-green coalition, Mona Sahlin, told her supporters Sunday night they were not able to regain the trust of the voters.
"We have lost," she said, adding that the centre-right coalition also failed to get an outright majority.
Polling stations closed at 8 p.m. local time (2 p.m. ET). Two exit polls, by TV4/Novus and Swedish state television, showed the ruling coalition ahead.
The far-right anti-immigration Sweden Democrats party has also made a strong showing in recent polls. The party has never before made it into the Swedish parliament, but could wind up tipping the balance of power between the two major coalitions.
Results showed the Sweden Democrats with 6 percent of the vote, more than the 4 percent needed to get seats in the 349-seat parliament.
Sweden has a long tradition of socialist rule, with a cradle-to-grave welfare system. But the global financial crisis threw Sweden into one of its worst economic downturns since World War II.
The ruling conservative coalition, which came into power in 2006, imposed a string of austerity measures and managed to turn Sweden's economy into one of the strongest in Europe, with an expected growth of 4.5 percent this year. The crisis management appears to have impacted many voters.
"I think the economy is the key issue," said one man at a Stockholm polling station. "I think Sweden has done very well for the last few years during the global financial crisis, and I hope the government will stay on."
But with a tightening of fiscal policy, several groups in Swedish society have seen their situation worsen. Pensioners and sick people are among the hardest hit, and the leader of the red-green coalition had urged voters to vote for change on Sunday.
"There is a clear difference between the left's and the right's tax policies towards working people and pensioners," said one elderly woman who had just cast her ballot on Sunday. "My pension has gone down during these last years."
"The moderate party and the centre-right alliance seeks the confidence of the voters," Reinfeldt said in a televised speech on Saturday, the eve of the election. "We do this with a promise to take responsibility. We have taken Sweden through a difficult economic crisis. Many decisions have been hard to make, and not everything has been right from the beginning."
But, he said, "after a difficult financial crisis, confidence in the future is now growing in our country. It is great to see how Sweden gets back on its feet. We are seeing more jobs and the unemployment is going down. Sweden today has Europe's strongest economy, but there is a risk for new troubled times. There are countries in our surroundings that have lost control over their economy and have had to make hard cuts and increase taxes. This will always hit the weakest the hardest. Don't put Sweden in this situation."
Meanwhile, Sahlin said, nearly all Swedes want "a health care based on their needs, not their wallet, and a school that helps all children gain knowledge, regardless of their background ... I want to take responsibility for Sweden, the welfare state. If we can handle the jobs situation, then our economy will grow, and we can impose our welfare."
"I am for reductions in tax, but not at any cost," she said. "Don't vote away Sweden the welfare state. What we sell and tear down now will never come back."
The far-right Sweden Democrats, which received 2.9 percent of votes in 2006, may double its number of voters this year, according to several polls. But its anti-immigration policies have caused all the main party leaders to vow not to cooperate with it, even if it achieves enough votes to gain seats.
"I think it is more important than ever that everyone goes to vote today so that we can stop them," one young woman voter said, referring to the Sweden Democrats. "I think it would be a day of shame for all Swedes if those people would come into parliament."

Open Question: Why do I keep doing this?
I've got into the habit of reading over and over when I read. What I mean is, I'll read a sentence, but then I'll have this urge to read it again because I 'didn't read it right' the first time. It's hard to explain, but as I'm typing this I keep reading it over and over, getting slightly stressed out at the same time. It's like I feel like I'm not taking in what I read (even though I am), so I read it again. It is frustrating because sometimes I will repeat one of the words in my head (reading it out loud in my head), saying it slowly to make sure it's done right. I'm not even sure what I mean.. but basically I have this urge to read the same things over and over because I just don't feel right until I've done this (and a lot of the time I still don't feel right) Is this some form of OCD? Oh, and I don't mean that I read the same things every day.. I mean that when I read something, I will reread it several times until I either feel satisfied (which isn't often), or until I get too stressed out and stop myself reading it again.
Pope praises Britain for resisting Nazis
STORY HIGHLIGHTS
- NEW: Benedict XVI rarely speaks about his personal history, CNN Senior Vatican Analyst John Allen says
- Six men arrested on Friday are released without charge
- The historic visit has been partly overshadowed by the sex abuse scandal
- An advocacy group praises the "courage" of victims who met with the pontiff
London, England (CNN) -- Pope Benedict XVI praised Britain Sunday for standing up to the Nazis, a remark that could rekindle controversy over the pope's past -- reminding listeners that he was forced as a young man to join the Hitler Youth.
Describing himself "as one who lived and suffered through the dark days of the Nazi regime in Germany," the German-born pontiff said it was "deeply moving... to recall how many of your fellow citizens sacrificed their lives, courageously resisting the forces of that evil ideology."
The comment was a break from Benedict's usual practice, CNN Senior Vatican Analyst John Allen said.
"Unlike John Paul II, Benedict doesn't usually play on his own biography, so when he does it's always to make a point," he said.
Unlike in remarks to Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday, when he mentioned the Nazis in a much less personal way, "today was a Mass, speaking directly to the people," Allen said. "I think Benedict felt it was important, as a German pope, to thank the British for standing up to a tyranny that his own country produced and that touched his own early life."
He was speaking at the religious climax of his historic four-day trip to Britain, the beatification of Cardinal John Henry Newman, a towering 19th century religious thinker. Beatification is the last step before sainthood.

Pope Benedict XVI has been making a public case against "aggressive secularism" during his trip to Scotland and England, but the state visit has been been shadowed by anger over the abuse of children by Catholic clergy and the arrest of six men suspected of plotting an attack against the pope.
The men were released without charge early Sunday morning, after having been detained on Friday, police said.
Benedict met Saturday with five victims of abuse, the Catholic Communications Network said, the same day the pope expressed his "deep sorrow" for the scandal that has rocked the Catholic Church.
But his acknowledgement of the abuse suffered by children within the church -- the first time he has publicly addressed the issue during his four-day trip to Britain -- was not enough to dissuade thousands of protesters from expressing their anger on the streets of London.
Thousands gathered Saturday near Hyde Park, the site of an afternoon prayer vigil led by the pope for the beatification of Newman, a Catholic convert who died in 1890 and is credited with helping rebuild Britain's Catholic community.
A wide variety of sometimes expletive-laced signs could be seen dotting the crowd of demonstrators, which included atheists, clergy abuse victims and gay rights campaigners. One poster accused the pope of being the boss of the "world's largest sex gang." Another sign asked if he "fancied the baby Jesus."
The protests came hours after the pope addressed the abuse scandal during Mass at Westminster Cathedral.
"I think of the immense suffering caused by the abuse of children, especially within the church and by her ministers," he said. "Above all, I express my deep sorrow to the innocent victims of these unspeakable crimes, along with my hope that the power of Christ's grace, his sacrifice of reconciliation, will bring deep healing and peace to their lives.
"I also acknowledge with you the shame and humiliation which all of us have suffered because of these sins; and I invite you to offer it to the Lord with trust that this chastisement will contribute to the healing of victims, the purification of the church, and the renewal of her age-old commitment to the education and care of young people.
"I express my gratitude for the efforts being made to address this problem responsibly, and I ask all of you to show your concern for the victims and solidarity with your priests."
Later Saturday, the pope met with victims of clerical sexual abuse, according to the Catholic Communications Network, the media office of the Bishops' Conference. Three of the victims were from Yorkshire, one from London and one from Scotland, the network said said.
The pope also met Saturday with people involved in the National Catholic Safeguarding Commission at St. Peter's Residential Home in Vauxhall, London.
A board member of SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, expressed hope that the outcome of the victims' meeting will be positive.
"We hope each of these brave individuals feels better as a result of the meeting, both now and years from now," board member Mark Serrano wrote in a statement. "It takes real courage to disclose your pain to others, especially those in authority. We hope the risk these victims have taken will prove to be fruitful, for them, for other victims and for children being molested today and in the future."
But Serrano also echoed other SNAP members' statements made earlier in the day, noting that the pope needs to take action against abuse, not just make apologies for it.
"Today's meeting is more of the same from the pope: all talk, no action," he wrote. "With literally the stroke of a pen, of course, he could radically change deeply-rooted, centuries-old destructive patterns of recklessness, callousness and deceit within the Catholic hierarchy that have directly led to hundreds of thousands of trusting children and vulnerable adults being raped, sodomized and fondled by clerics. But he refuses."
The Mass at Westminster Cathedral came on the second day of the pope's visit to London, and the third day of his visit to the United Kingdom.

Open Question: Do Filipino shows obtain legal rights to play the music that plays on their shows?
I'm Filipino, and I'm not really hating and all, but it has been on my mind. I've been watching Filipino shows for a while, and I noticed all these "idol" shows often have celebrities either singing or dancing to music that's from around all around the world (be it Rock, Pop, Hip Hop/Rap). Even other educational/informative small shows between their main scheduled shows would use music from other sources. Plus I'm pretty sure I heard the Halo (current-generation video game) theme one time because it added more dynamics to what they were talking about...I was like...wha?? But yeah, it's not like it matters to me if they didn't have the right to use the music...it's just been floating there in my mind.

Powerful Hurricane Igor moves in on Bermuda
STORY HIGHLIGHTS
- Igor termed a large and dangerous hurricane
- Residents in Bermuda are bracing for a direct hit
- Conditions are expected to deteriorate Saturday
- The storm is projected to pass over the island late Sunday or early Monday
Editor's Note: Are you in Hurricane Igor's path? We want to hear from you.Share your photos and video with CNN iReport, but please stay safe.
(CNN) -- Bermuda, which hasn't seen a major hurricane in some seven years, is about to get walloped by Igor, which forecasters termed large and dangerous Saturday night.
The eye of the Category 2 storm may pass just to the west of the Atlantic Ocean island late Sunday, sharply increasing the likelihood of damaging winds, forecasters said.
Such a landfall would spare Bermuda "the worst of the storm surge, but will inflict some of the highest wind speeds ... on the island," said CNN meteorologist Angela Fritz.
"A direct hit would be the worst-case scenario, because the island would have to endure the extremely strong winds in the eyewall, as well as a dangerously high storm surge," said added.
The hurricane is currently going through an "eyewall replacement cycle," and, during this time, accurately forecasting its track becomes more difficult, said Fritz.
A new eye begins to develop around the old eye of a hurricane during the replacement cycle.
"Fortunately, the forecast is that Igor will not strengthen more before approaching Bermuda. It is expected to maintain Category 2 status," Fritz added.

Conditions on the island were deteriorating late Saturday ahead of Igor's expected passover late Sunday or early Monday, according to the National Hurricane Center.
Tropical storm-force winds extend 345 miles (555 kilometers) from Igor's center. "The winds are definitely a concern," said CNN weather producer Judson Jones.
"Igor is expected to remain a dangerous hurricane as it approaches Bermuda," the Hurricane Center said. "Igor is a very large hurricane."
As of 11 p.m. EST Saturday, Igor was about 285 miles (455 km) south of Bermuda, packing sustained winds of about 100 mph (160 kph) as it headed north-northwest at 13 mph (20 kph). Hurricane-force winds extended up to 90 miles (150km) from the center.
The storm could also produce as much as 9 inches of rainfall over the island, according to the Hurricane Center.
Hurricane Fabian hit Bermuda in 2003, killing at least four people. It came ashore with 120 mph (193 kph) winds.
Large waves generated by the storm were already pounding beaches Saturday afternoon, said CNN iReporter Michael Branco.
"A dangerous storm surge is expected to produce significant coastal flooding on Bermuda," the Hurricane Center said. "The surge will be accompanied by large and destructive waves, especially along the southern coast."
The weather agency said swells will affect the East Coast of the United States, Puerto Rico, the Leeward Islands, Hispanola and parts of the Bahamas over the weekend.
"These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip currents," the Hurricane Center said.
Branco, a native Bermudian, spent Saturday morning putting up storm blinds on his windows and securing his pets inside the house. On Friday, he stocked up on bottled water, canned food and batteries.
He said that despite riding a number of storms out on the island, "this one has my attention thus I am taking it very seriously."
Branco said he's most worried about potential damage to the roof of his home, which faces the island's southern shore -- the frontline for the approaching Igor's northerly track.
"Our roofs, which we use to catch our drinking water, can sometimes be vulnerable to high winds and pressure changes, so fingers crossed our roof is OK," he said.
Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Julia continued to diminish Saturday farther east in the Atlantic.
As of 11 p.m. EST, Julia's maximum sustained winds were at 50 mph (85 kph), the Hurricane Center said. No coastal warnings or watches were in effect from Julia, and the storm is forecast to become a remnant low by early Monday, according to the hurricane center.

I just need to find a way to help MYSELF. Any ways I can MAKE myself better?
Open Question: Contacted by different collection agency for the same debt?
I received a letter from a collection agency back in June, which I disputed and requested validation for. I did not receive an reply back from them. Today I received a letter from a different agency for the same debt. I understand that sometimes if an agency cannot validate a debt, they will sell the debt to another agency. My question is, how long can this go on for? If the agencies keep selling it to other agencies, I have to keep disputing it - which is a huge waste of time!
Taiwan braces for Fanapi
Typhoon Fanapi is scheduled to make landfall in eastern Taiwan early Sunday, Xinhua reports. STORY HIGHLIGHTS- NEW: The dead are two junior-high school students and a 76-year-old woman
- Fanapi is predicted to make landfall over eastern Taiwan early Sunday
- Schools in Taitung, Yilan and Hualien counties suspend classes
- Nantou County evacuates some residents
(CNN) -- Three people died Saturday in accidents linked to Typhoon Fanapi's approach to Taiwan's eastern coast, where it was expected to make landfall Sunday, Taiwan's official news agency reported.
Early Saturday, a 76-year-old woman who was trying to harvest her crops before Fanapi's arrival apparently fell from a terraced hill into a river in Pingsi Township in Taipei County, the Central News Agency reported. She was found drowned.
Two junior-high school students in the northern county of Taoyuan died Saturday morning, CNA said.
They were among a group of seven students who were visiting the flooded Taoyuan Canal when a girl slipped off the bank in the rain, CNA said, citing police.
Three boys jumped into the water to rescue her. Only two of the would-be rescuers made it to safety; the other and the girl died, it said.
As of 5 a.m. Sunday (5 p.m. Saturday ET), Fanapi had strengthened with sustained winds of 121 mph (195 kph) and gusts of up to 149 mph (241 kph), according to the U.S. Navy's Joint Typhoon Warning Center. It was forecast to further intensify -- but only slightly -- before making landfall in central Taiwan Sunday between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. (10 p.m. Saturday ET to 2 a.m. Sunday ET).
As of 2 a.m. Sunday (2 p.m. ET Saturday), Fanapi was centered 121 miles (105 nautical miles) southeast of Taipei.
According to CNN models, Taiwan can expect 3.1 inches (80 mm) to 9.8 inches (250 mm) of rain, with isolated amounts reaching close to 19.7 inches (500 mm) of rain in the coming 48 hours.
Schools in Taitung, Yilan and Hualien counties suspended classes as of Saturday night, and Nantou County evacuated some residents, China's state-run Xinhua News Agency said.
Taipei's Maokong gondola, a cable-car transport system, has halted operations, Xinhua said.
Tsengwen Reservoir, Taiwan's largest, began discharging water Saturday at noon so that it would be able to accommodate Fanapi's rains, the news agency reported.
TransAsia Airways, Mandarin Airlines and Uni Air canceled some Sunday flights and fishing boats in Taitung County returned to harbor, it said.

Pope meets with abuse victims, expresses 'sorrow'
STORY HIGHLIGHTS
- NEW: Advocacy group praises "courage" of victims who met with the pontiff
- Thousands of protesters demonstrate against Pope Benedict's visit
- Pope Benedict is on his second day in London and third in Britain
- He held a Mass at Westminster Cathedral and plans a prayer vigil at Hyde Park
As a sex abuse scandal rocked the Roman Catholic Church, what did Pope Benedict XVI -- then a cardinal and Vatican official -- know, and when? Watch the investigation "What the Pope Knew," September 25 & 26 at 8 p.m. ET on CNN U.S. and on September 25 at 7 p.m. CET and September 26 at 8 a.m. HK on CNN International.
London, England (CNN) -- Pope Benedict XVI met with five clergy abuse victims while on his official visit to the United Kingdom, the Catholic Communications Network said Saturday, the same day the pope expressed his "deep sorrow" for the scandal that has rocked the Catholic Church.
But his acknowledgement of the abuse suffered by children within the church -- the first time he has publicly addressed the issue during his four-day trip to Britain -- was not enough to dissuade thousands of protesters from expressing their anger on the streets of London.
Thousands gathered Saturday near Hyde Park, the site of an afternoon prayer vigil led by the pope for the beatification of British Cardinal John Henry Newman, a Catholic convert who died in 1890 and is credited with helping rebuild Britain's Catholic community.
A wide variety of sometimes expletive-laced signs could be seen dotting the crowd of demonstrators, which included atheists, clergy abuse victims and gay rights campaigners. One poster accused the pope of being the boss of the "world's largest sex gang." Another sign asked if he "fancied the baby Jesus."
The protests came hours after the pope addressed the abuse scandal during Mass at Westminster Cathedral.
"I think of the immense suffering caused by the abuse of children, especially within the church and by her ministers," he said. "Above all, I express my deep sorrow to the innocent victims of these unspeakable crimes, along with my hope that the power of Christ's grace, his sacrifice of reconciliation, will bring deep healing and peace to their lives.
"I also acknowledge with you the shame and humiliation which all of us have suffered because of these sins; and I invite you to offer it to the Lord with trust that this chastisement will contribute to the healing of victims, the purification of the church, and the renewal of her age-old commitment to the education and care of young people.
"I express my gratitude for the efforts being made to address this problem responsibly, and I ask all of you to show your concern for the victims and solidarity with your priests."
Later Saturday, the pope met with victims of clerical sexual abuse, according to the Catholic Communications Network, the media office of the Bishops' Conference. Three of the victims were from Yorkshire, one from London and one from Scotland, CCN said. The pope is also expected to meet Saturday with people involved in the National Catholic Safeguarding Commission at St. Peter's Residential Home in Vauxhall, London.
A board member of SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, expressed hope that the outcome of the victims' meeting will be positive.
"We hope each of these brave individuals feels better as a result of the meeting, both now and years from now," Mark Serrano wrote in a statement. "It takes real courage to disclose your pain to others, especially those in authority. We hope the risk these victims have taken will prove to be fruitful, for them, for other victims and for children being molested today and in the future."
But Serrano also echoed other SNAP members' statements made earlier in the day that the pope needs to take action against abuse, not just make apologies for it.
"Today's meeting is more of the same from the Pope: all talk, no action," he wrote. "With literally the stroke of a pen, of course, he could radically change deeply-rooted, centuries-old destructive patterns of recklessness, callousness and deceit within the Catholic hierarchy that have directly led to hundreds of thousands of trusting children and vulnerable adults being raped, sodomized and fondled by clerics. But he refuses."
The Mass at Westminster Cathedral came on the second day of the pope's visit to London, and the third day of his visit to the United Kingdom.
Crowds lined the street outside the cathedral, the mother church for Catholics in England and Wales. Afterward, the pope greeted a crowd of 2,500 children gathered in the cathedral's piazza; later, he was due to visit the residents of a Catholic care home.
The pope spent Thursday in Edinburgh and Glasgow, Scotland, and planned to travel to Birmingham, England, on Sunday.
Six men remained in custody Saturday after their arrests a day earlier on terrorism charges -- incidents that prompted officials to review the pope's security arrangements.
Some news reports said the arrests involved a potential threat to the pope, but the Metropolitan Police declined to say whether the case was directly linked to the pontiff's visit.
Five of the men are street cleaners who were arrested before dawn on suspicion of the commission, preparation, or instigation of acts of terrorism. They appeared to be Algerian, a high-ranking source familiar with the investigation said, adding that some or all of them were probably in the country illegally.
A sixth man was arrested later in the day by counterterrorism detectives investigating the possible plot against the pope, police said.
All were arrested under the Terrorism Act 2000, which allows police to hold them without charge for 28 days.
Police said Saturday that their searches in the case were complete.
The arrests did not lead to any changes in the pope's schedule, which on Friday included events rich in history and symbolism. He met Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams at his residence, Lambeth Palace -- the first time a pope has ever visited there.
Benedict then spoke to members of the British Parliament at Westminster Hall, which dates to 1097 and is the oldest building in the parliamentary complex. It was there in 1535 that Thomas More, a Catholic, was convicted of treason and sentenced to death for refusing to accept King Henry VIII's marriage annulment and repudiate the pope after Henry broke with the Vatican and created the Anglican Church.
The pontiff stressed to the political audience that reason and faith can and should co-exist.
"Religion," he said, "is not a problem for legislators to solve, but a vital contributor to the national conversation."
Later, at nearby Westminster Abbey, an Anglican church, the pope prayed alongside the archbishop of Canterbury at the tomb of Edward the Confessor, the English king who built the abbey and was buried there after his death in 1066. He spoke once again about the commitment to unity among Christian churches while noting the obstacles.

Pope expresses 'deep sorrow' for child abuse scandal
Pope Benedict XVI meets British deputy prime minister Nick Clegg in London on Saturday. STORY HIGHLIGHTS- Pope Benedict is on his second day in London and third in Britain

Watch the investigation "What the Pope Knew," September 25 & 26 at 8 p.m. ET on CNN U.S. and on September 25 at 7 p.m. CET and September 26 at 8 a.m. HK on CNN International.
London, England (CNN) -- Pope Benedict XVI expressed his "deep sorrow" Saturday for the child sexual abuse scandal that has rocked the Catholic Church, the first time he has publicly addressed the issue on his four-day trip to Britain.
"I think of the immense suffering caused by the abuse of children, especially within the church and by her ministers," Benedict said during Mass at Westminster Cathedral.

The Mass at Westminster Cathedral came on the second day of the pope's visit to London, and the third day of his visit to the United Kingdom.
Crowds lined the street outside the cathedral, the mother church for Catholics in England and Wales. Afterward, the pope was due to greet both young and old -- the 2,500 children gathered in the cathedral's piazza and the residents of a Catholic care home nearby.
Thousands were also expected at London's Hyde Park for an afternoon prayer vigil for the beatification of British Cardinal John Henry Newman, a Catholic convert who died in 1890 and is credited with helping rebuild Britain's Catholic community.
Saturday was also a day of protests, however. Though demonstrators were on London's streets Friday as the pope drove past, a larger group including atheists, clerical sexual abuse survivors and gay rights campaigners planned a march to show their opposition to the pope's state visit.
Saturday was the third day of the pope's trip to Britain. He spent Thursday in Edinburgh and Glasgow, Scotland, and planned to travel to Birmingham, England, on Sunday.

Ahmadinejad: What does Iran get for freeing hiker?
Iran: 'No expectations' after releaseSTORY HIGHLIGHTS- "We have no expectations," Ahmadinejad tells IRINN
- "The expectation is that you would release them"
- Clinton calls for release of Bauer and Fattal

- Joshua Fattal
- Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
- Shane Bauer
- Sarah Shourd

Tehran, Iran (CNN) -- Iran's release this week of American hiker Sarah Shourd was a unilateral gesture made without any promise of a quid pro quo, but that doesn't mean Iranian officials wouldn't appreciate a similar act from the United States, Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told state-run television Friday.
"We have no expectations," he told IRINN TV. "But naturally, morally, the expectation would be that the U.S. government would take a step to release a number of Iranians that they took from other countries."
Ahmadinejad said the United States is holding a number of Iranians. "The expectation is that you would release them," he said, noting that Iran has provided the United States with a list of those Iranians imprisoned in the United States.
"They need to be freed and sent back to their families," he said.
Shourd and her mother, Nora, are planning to address reporters Sunday afternoon in New York City, though they are not expected to respond to questions.
During the 410 days that Shourd was held in Iran, "she never complained that the conditions were hard on her," Ahmadinejad said. He said Iran provided all three Americans with "every comfort we could."
Shourd, 32, was singled out for release because of her gender, he said. "Iranians, because of our Islamic culture and our Iranian culture, have a very special respect for women," he said. "We just dignify women, so the system decided that she should be released."
Since Shourd's release, U.S. authorities have pushed for Iran to release Shourd's fiance Shane Bauer, 28, and their friend, Josh Fattal, Ahmadinejad said. The three were arrested in July 2009 after allegedly straying across the border into Iraq. The Iranians have accused the three of spying; they have denied the accusation.
"It's the superpower mentality," he said about the U.S. plea for the two others' release. "But they were tactless."
He told MSNBC on Thursday that he would let the judge and the court decide the two Americans' case. "If they had not violated our border, they would have been at their homes for over a year," he said.
In Washington, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton expressed relief over Shourd's release, but said she would continue to press for the release of Bauer and Fattal. "It would be a very significant humanitarian gesture for the Iranians to release them as well," she told reporters.
Open Question: My knee hurts, what could be the problem?
So at basketball practice my knee went out. The way it went out was unusual to me, I guess it bent back to far and I herd a pop. I tried walking to a seat but I couldn't and ended up crawling their. I couldn't even straighten it at all, my coach kept telling to do so, but I was scared because it was hurting. I did anyway and it was painful. I sat out for about 10 minutes stretching it and putting pressure on it and it felt better, and I continued my practice. So the rest of the day was pretty normal, I was running normally, doing my drills normally, -etc. When I woke up the next morning though, well I couldn't, I was basically straining to get out of bed. My knee was hurting so much, I didn't go to school, I stretched it, massaged it, and iced it about 5 maybe 6 times through out the day, but it hurts when I bend or straighten it still. When I'm just walking though It feels fine, but I just can't bend it to far back, so a slightly limp. I can't stand for a long time or it'll hurt when I bend it, when I sit or lay down for a long time it'll hurt when I straighten it. What could be the problem, did I sprain my knee, tear a ligament, dislocate it? I'm scared I might not be able to continue playing sports. Someone please help me.

Sixth terror suspect arrested during pope's UK tour
5 arrested during pope's visitSTORY HIGHLIGHTS- NEW: Sixth man arrested by British police investigation possible pope plot
- Men are streetcleaners in London, authorities say
- Vatican spokesman says they are not particularly worried about the arrests
- Police review their security plan for the pope but say it's still appropriate
As a sex abuse scandal rocked the Roman Catholic Church, what did Pope Benedict XVI -- then a cardinal and Vatican official -- know, and when? Watch the investigation "What the Pope Knew," September 25 & 26 at 8 p.m. ET on CNN U.S. and on September 25 at 7 p.m. CET and September 26 at 8 a.m. HK on CNN International.
London, England (CNN) -- British detectives investigating a possible plot to attack Pope Benedict XVI arrested a sixth man Friday on suspicion of terrorism, Scotland Yard said.
The earlier arrest of five other men prompted a review of security arrangements for the pontiff's trip to the island, authorities said.
But the Metropolitan Police declined to say whether the case was directly linked to the pope's visit. Police said they were satisfied the pope's security plan remains "appropriate," and the pope's itinerary did not change.
The men were arrested under the Terrorism Act 2000, which allows police to hold them without charge for 28 days. Searches were being carried out at a business in central London and at residential locations in north and east London, police said.
Police sources said there has been no intelligence about a specific threat to the pope before the information that led to the arrests.

Vatican spokesman Father Federico Lombardi said the pope and his representatives were not particularly worried about the arrests.
"The police have already said that the information they have until now collected demonstrated there is no need to change anything about the program of the pope and the security," Lombardi told reporters in London.
He said he believed the police had simply taken "normal precautionary measures," and that everyone remained "calm."
"The pope is happy with the trip until now, and we can go on with the same joy as until now," Lombardi said.
The five men arrested earlier are street cleaners for Westminister City Council, the borough of London that includes Parliament, Westminster Abbey, and many of the city's tourist attractions, the council said.
They work for one of Westminister's contractors, Veolia Environmental Services, the council said.
Westminister said all staff are subject to checks to make sure they are eligible to work in England, referencing questions about the men's nationality, which has not been confirmed.
The five men were arrested at around 5:45 a.m. (12:45 a.m. ET) at a business on suspicion of the commission, preparation, or instigation of acts of terrorism, police said.
The men are aged 26, 27, 36, 40, and 50, and were taken to a central London police station to be interviewed by detectives.
They were arrested under the Terrorism Act 2000, which allows police to hold them without charge for 28 days. The sixth man is 29 years old.
Searches were being carried out at a business in central London and at residential locations in north and east London, police said. Initial searches have not uncovered any hazardous items, they said.
Police added there was no change to the threat level in the United Kingdom as a result of the arrests.

Pope to pray with Anglican leader on second day in UK
Pope's UK visit proving controversialSTORY HIGHLIGHTS- NEW: Benedict speaks at Westminster Hall on Friday
- Pope: The church has not been vigilant or fast enough to respond to sexual abuse
- The pope is visiting England and Scotland for four days
London, England (CNN) -- Pope Benedict XVI will make a speech at London's historic Westminster Hall on Friday, where he is expected to talk about the positive contributions Catholics have made to society.
He will also lead prayers with the head of the Church of England, Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams.
The address by the pontiff comes a day after he said the Roman Catholic Church has not been vigilant enough or fast enough in responding to the problem of sexual abuse by priests.
"These revelations were for me a shock and a great sadness. It is difficult to understand how this perversion of the priestly ministry was possible," he told reporters aboard his plane to Scotland. "How a man who has done this and said this can fall into this perversion is difficult to understand."
He added, "It is also a great sadness that the authorities of the church were not sufficiently vigilant and insufficiently quick and decisive in taking the necessary measures."
British people feel overwhelmingly that the pope has not done enough to punish priests who abuse children, according to a ComRes poll for CNN released as Benedict arrived in the country. Three out of four British people -- and two out of three Catholics in the country -- say he should do more to punish abusive clergy.

The pope is in London on the second day of a historic four-day state visit to Britain, where the issue of abuse, and the Vatican's perceived lack of response to it, has created anger.
But there was a warm welcome for him on a cold afternoon in Glasgow, Scotland, for the first major mass of his visit.
Tens of thousands turned out to hear him preach, with members of the faithful describing it as a "happy day" and calling it a "great honor" that he had come.
Benedict elaborated in Glasgow on what's expected to be a major theme of his visit, the value of religion in a society that he sees as increasingly secular.
"There are some who now seek to exclude religious belief from public discourse, to privatize it or even to paint it as a threat to equality and liberty," he said in his homily. "Yet religion is in fact a guarantee of authentic liberty and respect."
He also urged bishops to look after their priests -- possibly an oblique reference to the sex abuse scandal -- and warned young people against the temptations of "drugs, money, sex, pornography, alcohol -- which the world tells you will bring you happiness, yet these things are destructive and divisive."
Benedict started his visit in Edinburgh, where he held a meeting with the queen and greeted thousands who turned out to see him on the streets of the Scottish city.
Though a pope has visited Britain once before -- Pope John Paul II in 1982 -- this is considered the first state visit by a pope to Britain because it comes at the invitation of the queen, not the Catholic Church, as was the case 28 years ago.
Benedict's trip is scheduled to include meetings with political leaders, royalty, and bridge-building events with Anglican Church officials. It will culminate in the beatification of British Cardinal John Henry Newman, a Catholic convert who died in 1890 and is credited with helping rebuild Britain's Catholic community.
There has been widespread outcry over the estimated 12 million pounds ($18.7 million) British taxpayers are having to pay for the visit, though Christopher Patten, the prime minister's representative for the papal visit, has pointed out that one day of last year's G-20 summit in London cost 20 million pounds.
Criticism has also focused on the armed police squads needed to protect a religious figurehead previously targeted by attackers.
Along with anger about the Vatican's response to child and sexual abuse, there is criticism over the pope being granted a state visit, given the Catholic Church's attitudes towards gender equality and homosexuality.
Catholic leaders and government officials have defended the trip, with Prime Minister David Cameron saying Britain and the Vatican have "incredibly important work to do together" in promoting a "multi-faith dialogue."

Open Question: Purchase parents house with FHA loan or can we transfer their loan?
I wish to purchase my Mother and Father's home. I am a first time home buyer and due to Credit score around 600 FHA loans are appealing to me. The home value is est. $195k, we have agreed upon $160k for a purchase price. My parents carry est. $145k mortgage within that a est. $100k is in home equity loans at 2.5%.

Open Question: How is the 12th house tied to unresolved family issues?
This is a quote from an online astrology blog Ive been reading: "The 12th house may also have strong connections with inherited "family life issues" or "gifts" that our parents (and perhaps our parents' parents) were given... but they refused or were emotionally incapable of consciously giving expression to and/or resolving these "family life issues" during their own lifetimes. And now it's been left up to the child (you) to experience and resolve these energies for the parents." Is this true for your own 12th house placements? What skills/issues does your 12th house placement reflect?
Journalists under scrutiny after Philippines bus standoff
Eight tourists from Hong Kong died in the August 23 bus standoff in Manila, Philippines. STORY HIGHLIGHTS- At least one journalist, a public official and police officers may be charged
- The botched rescue operation resulted in the deaths of eight tourists
- Some journalists were able to interview the hostage-taker during the standoff
- Some news outlets broadcast the event live, while the hostage-taker watched
- Philippines
- Hong Kong

(CNN) -- Philippine media are getting a hard look, as authorities investigate the fatally bungled rescue of tourists in a bus standoff last month.
At least one journalist, at least one public official and police officers are expected to be charged in the standoff, according to CNN affiliate ABS-CBN.
President Benigno Aquino is to receive a report and recommendations from an investigative committee Friday. A news conference is scheduled for late afternoon Friday in Manila, but it is unclear whether Aquino will reveal the committee's conclusions.
The botched rescue operation on August 23 resulted in the deaths of eight tourists from Hong Kong and the hostage taker. Another tourist was critically wounded and six others were hospitalized with less serious injuries.
The standoff dragged on for 10 hours, during which some journalists were able to interview the hostage-taker. Some news outlets broadcast the event live.
The media later came under fire from authorities and the public, who accused them of endangering the hostages' lives and of hindering police operations. Authorities also were heavily criticized for not better containing the scene and accused of myriad other missteps.
The hostage-taker had TV access on the bus and was able to watch police operations unfold. He also watched his brother being arrested at the scene, which appeared to set him off and open fire.
Hostage-taker Rolando Mendoza was a former police officer who had been dismissed a year earlier for extortion. He wanted his case reconsidered.
In the aftermath of the bloodshed, Philippine journalists are weighing their role.
"There has been some soul-searching in the broadcast media as a result of the tragedy; at this point, the need to be more circumspect and to exercise the greatest degree of responsibility in reporting sensitive crimes, and deciding when to air unfolding events live, are some of the serious lessons learned from the hostage crisis. But at the same time, it should not be used by the government as an excuse to curtail media freedom," said Yasmin Arquiza, managing editor of GMANews.TV, one of the biggest television stations in the Philippines.
A reporter from GMA was able to reach the hostage-taker during the standoff, but the network didn't broadcast the interview during the standoff.
On Thursday, Philippine Justice Secretary Leila De Lima said an investigation into the standoff was 95 percent finished. But by Friday morning, his committee had missed its deadline to hand in its results to Aquino, according to ABS-CBN.
De Lima said Thursday that testimony from five victims matched that of the bus driver, who escaped. The victims and the driver said the hostage-taker shot his victims at close range, De Lima said.
But last week, he told reporters that there was a "big possibility" that some of the tourists had died in "friendly fire."
The death of the tourists created a furor in Hong Kong, where thousands of people protested in the aftermath of the botched rescue.
Hong Kong's government advised residents to avoid travel to the Philippines after the hostage crisis, casting doubt on Aquino's months-old government.
The president faces scrutiny as he deals with the aftermath of the standoff.
He will read the investigation report over the weekend, but is unlikely to act on it before a trip to the United States on Monday, a spokesman told ABS-CBN.
