Michelle Obama Navigates Limits On Women In Saudi Arabia

AP, Jan. 27, 2015, Yahoo News

Under the kingdom's strict dress code for women, Saudi females are required to wear a headscarf and loose, black robes in public. Most women in Saudi Arabia cover their hair and face with a veil known as the niqab. But covering one's head is not required for foreigners, and some Western women choose to forego the headscarf while in Saudi Arabia.

As a delegation of dozens of Saudi officials — all men — greeted the Obamas in Riyadh, some shook hands with Mrs. Obama. Others avoided a handshake but acknowledged the first lady with a nod as they passed by.

Hillary Clinton Declines To Take Position On Keystone

Ken Thomas, Jan. 21, 2015, AP

"We have differences and you won't get me to talk about Keystone because I have steadily made clear that I'm not going to express an opinion," said Clinton, a potential 2016 Democratic presidential candidate. "It is in our process and that's where it belongs."

Obama has vowed to veto the congressional legislation as long as the State Department is still conducting a formal review of the project.

Agent: Woods' Front Tooth Knocked Out By Videographer

AP, Jan. 19, 2015, Yahoo News

"I was among those who escorted him from the tent to the snowmobile and there was no such incident," Nicola Colli, the secretary general of the race organizing committee, told The Associated Press. "When he arrived he asked for more security and we rounded up police to look after both him and Lindsey."

Woods had been wearing a scarf with a skeleton pattern over the lower part of his face, sunglasses and a stocking cap. The photo was taken when the scarf was lowered.

VC Firms Rain Down Cash On Tech Startups, Is Bubble Brewing?

Brandon Bailey, Jan. 16, 2015, AP

Uber Technologies, the ride-hailing service disrupting the transportation industry and generating plenty of press, received the top two biggest rounds of investment last year. Each raised $1.2 billion for Uber, and the company's value is now pegged at $41 billion. Other major deals included $542 million (mostly from Google Inc.) invested in Magic Leap Inc., a secretive startup working on virtual reality technology; $500 million in Vice Media, which operates online news and video channels; and $485 million in SnapChat, the popular messaging service.

Too Much Pot: Growers Struggle With Glut Of Legal Weed

Gene Johnson, Jan. 15, 2015, AP

State data show that licensed growers had harvested 31,000 pounds of bud as of Thursday, but Washington's relatively few legal pot shops have sold less than one-fifth of that. Many of the state's marijuana users have stuck with the untaxed or much-lesser-taxed pot they get from black market dealers or unregulated medical dispensaries — limiting how quickly product moves off the shelves of legal stores.

"Every grower I know has got surplus inventory and they're concerned about it," said Scott Masengill, who has sold half of the 280 pounds he harvested from his pot farm in central Washington. "I don't know anybody getting rich."

Republicans Plan To Offer Their Own Solutions On Immigration

Erica Werner, Jan. 16, 2015, AP

Republicans oppose Obama's moves as an unconstitutional overreach, and the House offered one response earlier this week. House Republicans attached language to a must-pass, $39.7 billion spending bill for the Department of Homeland Security that would undo Obama's actions, in the process exposing hundreds of thousands of younger immigrants to deportation. Obama has threatened to veto the bill.

Need Help Filing Out Your Tax Return? Don't Call The IRS

Stephen Ohlemacher, Jan. 14, 2015, AP

Got a question for the IRS? Good luck reaching someone by phone. The tax agency says only half of the 100 million people expected to call this year will be able to reach a person.

Callers who do get through may have to wait on hold for 30 minutes or more to talk to someone who will answer only the simplest questions.

Obama's Upbeat Economy Message A Shift From Last Year's Tone

Jim Kuhnhenn, Jan. 12, 2015, AP

Despite multiple signs the recovery is indeed taking hold, some are saying otherwise, from conservatives to liberals in the president's own Democratic Party who point to stagnant wages and a yawning rich-poor income gap. The clashing messages reflect Obama's need to boost his economic credentials and establish a post-recession legacy, and the desire by lawmakers to push their divergent economic policies.

Feinstein Urges Changes To Avoid Repeat Of CIA Torture

Ken Dilanian, Jan. 5, 2015, AP

Feinstein said she will introduce legislation in the upcoming Congress to codify Obama's executive order banning torture and prohibiting the CIA from detaining prisoners.

Her office said she introduced similar legislation in 2009, but then began to focus on the investigation and wanted to wait for its outcome before pressing for changes.

"We didn't know then that the study would not be completed until the end of 2014, so we went down the track of the investigation with the idea that recommendations would follow from what we found," her top intelligence aide, David Grannis, said in an email.

They Misled Us: Ferguson Grand Juror Sues Claiming Prosecutor 'Muddled' Case In Favor Of Darren Wilson And Fights To Life Lifetime Gag Order

AP, Jan. 5, 2015, Daily Mail

'Right now there are only 12 people who can't talk about the evidence out there,' ACLU attorney Tony Rothert said. 'The people who know the most — those 12 people are sworn to secrecy. What (the grand juror) wants is to be able to be part of the conversation.'

The suit does not seek to allow grand jurors in all Missouri cases to be free to discuss proceedings. But it argues that the Ferguson case was unique, and that allowing the juror to speak would benefit the national debate about race and police tactics that was sparked by the shooting.

Iran, 6 Powers Move Closer To Nuke Talks Deal

AP, Jan. 2, 2015, Fox News

Iran denies it wants nuclear arms, but it is negotiating with the U.S., Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany on cuts to its atomic program in hope of ending crippling sanctions. The talks have been extended twice due to stubborn disagreements.

The main conflict is over uranium enrichment, which can create both reactor fuel and the fissile core of nuclear arms. In seeking to reduce Iran's bomb-making ability, the U.S. has proposed that Tehran export much of its stockpile of enriched uranium -- something the Islamic Republic has long said it would not do.

Here's What Could Happen If Hillary Clinton Decides Not To Run In 2016

Ken Thomas, Jan. 2, 2015, AP

JIM WEBB

The former Virginia senator would bring a bipartisan record to the campaign: He served as President Ronald Reagan's Navy secretary. He is an accomplished author and decorated veteran, still carrying shrapnel from his service in the Vietnam War. He is independent and at times unpredictable, and his foreign policy outlook and outsider status could shake up the primary with or without Clinton.

New Hampshire Ballot Access Challenge Continues

Holly Ramer, Jan. 1, 2015, AP

A federal judge has ruled that the Libertarian Party can proceed with its challenge to a New Hampshire law it claims could prevent its candidates from getting on the ballot.

The state argues that the change ensures that signatures on nomination papers are valid, but the Libertarian Party sued, arguing that it would make it difficult, if not impossible, for the party to petition its way onto the ballot.
