<title>Obama praises those who ended Fort Hood violence</title>
<link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Front-TheWashingtonTimesAmericasNewspaper/~3/TRJ26it19Ms/</link>
<description><![CDATA[

WASHINGTON &#8212; President Barack Obama said Saturday that the training designed to keep U.S. forces safe abroad prevented further deaths and ended the rampage at Fort Hood. He praised those who serve or have served in uniform and reminded the public of their diversity &#8212; a move designed to calm tensions around the suspected shooter, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan. "They are Americans of every race, faith and station. They are Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus and nonbelievers," Obama said in his radio and Internet address, airing the weekend before Veterans Day. "They are descendants of immigrants and immigrants themselves. ...

<link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Front-TheWashingtonTimesAmericasNewspaper/~3/6HJ83Lok970/</link>
<description><![CDATA[

Investigators worked doggedly Friday to piece together what apparently drove an Army psychiatrist to open fire on his comrades at Fort Hood in Texas. While they searched for clues, a conflicting portrait of the accused shooter, Maj. Nidal Hasan, an Arlington native, has continued to emerge. On the one hand, he has been described by some as a gentle man who was involved in his mosque's charitable endeavors and spoke little of America's conflicts abroad; but there also seemed to be worrisome signs. A neighbor said Maj. Hasan, who on Friday night remained hospitalized and unconscious, recently had given away ...

<description><![CDATA[

A Florida man returned Friday to the Orlando high-rise office complex where he once worked and allegedly shot six people, killing one and sparking a manhunt that ended hours later at his mother's apartment. The second shooting rampage in two days, following the massacre at Fort Hood, Texas, prompted renewed calls by gun-control advocates for limits on sales. The suspected gunman was identified as Jason Rodriguez, 40. Orlando Police Department officials said they responded to a call about 11:30 a.m. that shots had been fired in the Legions Place building. All of the victims worked on the eighth floor at ...

<description><![CDATA[

Stunned Muslims were trying to understand Friday why a normally soft-spoken Army officer who served on his local mosque's charity committee allegedly fatally shot 13 people at the sprawling Fort Hood military base in Texas. Officials at the copper-domed Muslim Community Center in Silver Spring &#8212; where Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, a psychiatrist, attended daily evening and Friday noon services &#8212; said he was a quiet, devout man whom few of the 250 members knew. "I cannot believe it was him," said Dr. Asif Qadri, a cardiologist who works at a medical clinic at the mosque. "He never expressed his ...

<description><![CDATA[

ATLANTA | Only about a third of adults who have tried to get a swine flu vaccine have been able to get it, according to a national poll released Friday. That's true even for people who are at extra risk for severe complications and should be at the front of the line. The numbers are about the same for parents who tried to get the vaccine for their children, the Harvard School of Public Health poll found. Swine flu vaccine has been available in the United States for about a month, but supplies have been limited because of manufacturing delays. ...

SHANKSVILLE, Pa. | Esther Heymann was overflowing with grief for her stepdaughter. Standing in a blustery snow, overlooking the empty field where United Airlines Flight 93 had crashed a couple of years earlier, she couldn't stop crying. The only other person there was a local man, sitting in his warm car. Every few minutes he would come out, asking Mrs. Heymann if she was OK; mostly, he just let her grieve. Alone. Finally, the man approached her. His wife was making soup at home. She should come and have some, get warm, wait for the snow to stop. She did, ...

SHELBY, Ohio | The floor of VFW Post 291 has been scuffed by the shoes and boots of veterans who fought in wars going back to World War I. The setting is a comfort for Willis Cochran, who served in the Navy during the Vietnam War. But his jaw tightens and face darkens as he remembers what happened when he returned to his hometown of Bainbridge, Ga., 43 years ago. "I was treated like trash. I tell you what hurt the worst was when the old woman spit on me," said Mr. Cochran, 62, whose blue sports jacket has an ...

The sudden, urgent shout of "Gun!" The private first class poked his head over the cubicle's partition and saw an extraordinary sight: An Army officer with two guns, firing into the crowded room. The 21-year-old Fort Worth native quickly grabbed the civilian worker who had been helping with his paperwork and forced her under the desk. He lay low for several minutes, waiting for the shooter to run out of ...

"When they said a female officer, a little part of me just knew," Mrs. Barbour told the newspaper. "She is a very great person with a great spirit." Officials said Sgt. Munley, 34, who was ...

The director of the Federal Air Marshal Service is warning that a criminal trial in Britain could have serious implications for the agency's international mission, including the possibility of its agents being barred from some overseas flights. An air marshal identified in court only as JFB, 42, from Massachusetts, is accused of sexually assaulting a 23-year-old Royal Navy worker in January 2008 while she was unconscious after drinking too much alcohol with the accused and other air marshals. "The impact of these charges on the reputation and operations of the Federal Air Marshal Service is serious," Director Robert Bray said ...

He loves outdoor sports, learning to swim, dressing up as a superhero for Halloween, and playfully kicking his three brothers while engaging in rough-and-tumble childhood games. In fact, Peter has achieved such a level of normalcy that his siblings and schoolmates hardly think of the one thing that has made him different since infancy: a first-of-its kind prosthetic leg with a rolling device on the bottom, which, unlike a "non-articulating" or immobile leg, allowed Peter to crawl. The "crawling prosthesis," created by David Beachler, a certified prosthetist at ...

And the book is just the beginning. "A petition will be circulated in Congress next week by concerned lawmakers. They will demand that ...
