WEATHER REPORT
Today: Partly cloudy. High in the upper 40s.
Courtesy of cnn.com, a bit of news that was fresh about 20 years ago:
Tonight: Partly cloudy. Low in the mid 30s.
“Images reflected by the media can often amount to a very unhealthy
looking glass for young women….[A new study] found teen-age body image
to be greatly influenced by what they see on television and in movies and
magazines.”
Tomorrow: Partly cloudy. High in the mid 40s.
No kidding…
NEWS REPORT
1) World news roundup
A preliminary review of EgyptAir Flight 990’s cockpit voice recorder has
failed to prove one way or the other what caused the flight’s crash over
the Atlantic Ocean two weeks ago. While more work remains to be
done, there has been no evidence of criminal activity. …This
week could bring a final federal budget deal as the fiscal year enters its
seventh week without a federal budget. …European and Latin American
heads of state met in Cuba for summit that could boost the country’s
international profile. Cuban dissidents took part in unprecedented
meetings with high-ranking Latin American officials, while leaders of
Nicaragua, Costa Rica and El Salvador boycott the meeting in protest of
Cuba’s human rights record. …Barak and Arafat failed to end the dispute
of Israel’s planned handover of more West Bank land on Monday. The Israeli
army is ready to carry out as planned, but it may be delayed.
