The commission, which was established by the Bush administration, is a group of Cuban-American political leaders who are concerned with a possible transition to democracy of a post-Castro Cuba . \u003cbr/\u003eCastro suggested that Cuba set up a counter-commission to prepare a political change in the United States . He said political change is more likely in the United States than in Cuba .

In a statement read out by his secretary, Carlos Valenciaga, Castro said he had suffered gastrointestinal bleeding, apparently due to stress from recent public appearances that included travel to Argentina and eastern Cuba . \u003cbr/\u003eCastro, who has never before relinquished his post in 47 years of absolute rule, didn't appear on the live state television broadcast. The elder Castro asked that celebrations scheduled for his 80th birthday on August 13 be postponed until December 2, the 50th anniversary of Cuba 's Revolutionary Armed Forces. \u003cbr/\u003eCuban Culture Minister Abel Prieto told The Associated Press he was convinced that with or without Castro , Cuba will \"continue to be a survivor of the sinking ship of socialism in the 20th century. It will be a reference for socialism in the 21st century.\" \u003cbr/\u003ePrieto made clear he wants Castro to live much longer, and said the Cuban leader needs to learn to take care of himself and rest. \"It's important that Fidel take that into account in the future,\" Prieto said. \u003cbr/\u003eOn his 80th birthday, Castro cautioned Cubans he faced a long recovery from surgery and urged them to stay optimistic, while a newspaper published the first photographs of the Cuban leader since his illness. \u003cbr/\u003eIn the August photos, Castro wore a red and white Adidas warm-up suit. One is a tight shot of him posing with his fist under his chin and in two he is talking on the telephone. \u003cbr/\u003eThe fourth photograph shows him sitting in a chair in front of a bed with a white spread in what appears to be a home. He is holding up a special supplement of Granma, the Communist Party newspaper. \u003cbr/\u003eThe photos were published in the online edition of Juventud Rebelde. \u003cbr/\u003eIn September, acting Cuban President Raul Castro gave Cubans and the world a preview of how he might lead if his brother Fidel does not return to power: efficiently and with little fanfare. Addressing leaders from developing nations, Raul diligently stood in for his iconic sibling at the 118-nation Non-aligned Movement summit this weekend. \u003cbr/\u003eSpeaking with gravitas but with none of Fidel's passionate gestures, he repeatedly exhorted them to unite against \"imperialist\" US policies. Dressed in a dark suit rather than his typical olive green uniform, Raul Castro has been much more visible at the summit, his first real opportunity to appear as a statesman since his 80-year-old brother fell ill in late July. \u003cbr/\u003eThe 75-year-old had mostly avoided public statements since Fidel temporarily ceded power after undergoing intestinal surgery. But he had to step up with his brother committed to be president of the movement representing two-thirds of the world's nations for the next three years. \u003cbr/\u003eA lifelong military man who seems most comfortable chatting and joking with his officers, he's known for his sense of humour and self-deprecation - a personality the younger Castro revealed this week as Cuban state media showing him laughing with other heads of state. \u003cbr/\u003eFidel Castro has met privately with foreign visitors at his home where he was recovering, including United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan and presidents Hugo Chavez of Venezuela and Abdelaiziz Bouteflika of Algeria . \u003cbr/\u003eAP Television \u003cbr/\u003eHavana - 31 July 2006 \u003cbr/\u003eWide of billboard showing Cuban leader Fidel Castro \u003cbr/\u003eClose up sign reading: \"Viva Fidel 80 More\" \u003cbr/\u003eAP Television \u003cbr/\u003eHavana , 4 August 2006 \u003cbr/\u003eMedium shot of front page of official Cuban newspapers 'Juventud rebelde' (Rebel Youth) and 'Granma' (Grandma) \u003cbr/\u003eAP Television \u003cbr/\u003eHavana - 26 July 2006 (last public appearance): \u003cbr/\u003eMedium Castro on stage greeting crowd \u003cbr/\u003eAP Television \u003cbr/\u003eHavana - 13 August 2006 \u003cbr/\u003eSTILL showing Cuban leader Fidel Castro on front page of Juventud Rebelde newspaper \u003cbr/\u003eTilt down of stills of Castro on the phone \u003cbr/\u003eAP Television \u003cbr/\u003eHavana - 14 August 2006 \u003cbr/\u003eMorning newspapers, reaction to latest on Castro's health \u003cbr/\u003eAP Television \u003cbr/\u003eHavana - 14 August 2006 \u003cbr/\u003eClose up front page Granma newspaper \"Unforgettable Afternoon Between Brothers\" \u003cbr/\u003eAP Television \u003cbr/\u003eAP Television \u003cbr/\u003eFILE- Havana- September 2006 \u003cbr/\u003eVarious of Raul Castro posing for a picture with Cuban officials \u003cbr/\u003eIn January, Bolivia celebrated with the assumption of power of Latin America 's first indigenous president.

Bolivian President-elect Evo Morales has promised a change in the general management of the natural resources of Bolivia and a fundamental shift in the distribution of wealth in this poor nation of 9 million. \u003cbr/\u003eTwo days later, at the inauguration, Morales, the Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and Vice President Garcia Linera appeared on the Presidential Palace balcony to greet the crowds who had gathered in La Paz .. \u003cbr/\u003eIn the evening the celebrations continued on the Plaza San Francisco with Morales addressing the nation, \"The problem was not winning, the problem is that now we have the responsibility to govern and together we will\", he said. \u003cbr/\u003eMorales, a former leader of Bolivia 's coca growers union, rose to power leading protests as Bolivia 's poor became disillusioned with free market reforms and the privatisation of everything from oil to water. \u003cbr/\u003eBolivia has the second largest natural gas reserves on the continent after Venezuela , and foreign companies have been responsible for production since the industry was privatised in the 1990s. \u003cbr/\u003eMorales vowed to nationalise the industry during his campaign, but also has said private property rights of big international petroleum companies will be respected. \u003cbr/\u003eMorales said he had spoken with the U.S. Ambassador about the counter-narcotics efforts and that further talks are needed to determine the future course of joint U.S.-Bolivian efforts at stopping the export of drugs from the countries. \u003cbr/\u003eAP Television \u003cbr/\u003eLa Paz , 20 Jan 2006 \u003cbr/\u003eWide shot of La Paz \u003cbr/\u003eBolivian flags in the Presidential Palace \u003cbr/\u003eBolivian President-elect, Evo Morales giving an interview \u003cbr/\u003eMeeting of Indigenous Authorities of America in La Paz \u003cbr/\u003eAP Television \u003cbr/\u003eLa Paz , 22 Jan 2006 \u003cbr/\u003ePull out of Bolivian President Evo Morales appearing on Presidential building with Vice President Alvaro Gracia Linera after swearing in ceremony \u003cbr/\u003eVenezuelan President Hugo Chavez hugging Evo Morales and Vice President Garcia Linera on Presidential Palace balcony \u003cbr/\u003eIn April, the leftist leaders of Cuba , Bolivia and Venezuela on Saturday endorsed their own socialist alternative for regional commerce and cooperation.

Oil-producing Venezuela 's recent cut-rate petroleum deals to Caribbean nations, Cuba 's literacy efforts in South America , and their programme to bring free eye operations to needy people around the hemisphere are part of the integration efforts. \u003cbr/\u003eThe three presidents call the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA), a US effort to \"annex\" Latin America .

The Panama Canal Authority (ACP) says the locks are necessary to accommodate the increasingly large boats using the canal and to reduce the amount of time they take to pass through it. \u003cbr/\u003eThe authority claims the average size of boats travelling through the ninety-two year old canal has increased by 20% in the last five years and the extra space is needed to keep boat traffic flowing. But environmentalists are warning that the proposed enlargement could have serious consequences for water supplies in the area. \u003cbr/\u003eArchitect and environmental activist, Raisa Banfield, claimed the proposed expansion doesn't take into account the amount of water that will be needed to support growing human and animal populations. \u003cbr/\u003eBut the director of Panama 's environment agency, Ligia Castro, said that further environmental studies will be undertaken before work on the project begins to ensure that drinking water will remain available. \u003cbr/\u003eThe issue was voted on in October. The modernisation project is the largest in the 92-year-history of the Panama Canal and will cost in the region of 5.25 (b) billion US dollars. President Martin Torrijos' government has billed the referendum as a historic facelift that will double the capacity of a canal already on pace to generate about 1.4 (b) billion US dollars in revenue this year. \u003cbr/\u003eThe project would build a third set of locks on the Pacific and Atlantic ends of the canal by 2015, allowing it to handle modern container ships, cruise liners and tankers too large for its current 33-meter-wide (108-foot-wide) locks. The canal employs 8,000 workers and the expansion is expected to generate as many as 40,000 new jobs. Unemployment in Panama is 9.5 percent, and 40 percent of the country lives in poverty. \u003cbr/\u003eAP Television \u003cbr/\u003eClose up ship crossing Panama Canal (Gallaird Cut) \u003cbr/\u003eMid of ship crossing the Panama Canal \u003cbr/\u003eAP Television \u003cbr/\u003ePanama Canal, Panama Date unknown \u003cbr/\u003eVarious aerials of Panama Canal \u003cbr/\u003eAP Television \u003cbr/\u003ePanama City , 22 October2006 \u003cbr/\u003eMan walking into polling room with three women sitting at a table registering the voters \u003cbr/\u003eClose up of pink voter register \u003cbr/\u003eMid of man marking his polling card behind a cardboard screen that reads: (Spanish) \"The vote is secret\" \u003cbr/\u003eFormer President Alan Garcia, whose 1985-90 government left Peru mired in guerrilla violence and economic chaos, won back the office in June by defeating a fiery nationalist ex-soldier who was endorsed by Venezuela 's Hugo Chavez. \u003cbr/\u003ePeruvians faced an unsettling choice between a charismatic former president striving to erase memories of his disastrous tenure and a fiery political newcomer pledging to punish a corrupt political establishment. \u003cbr/\u003eAlan Garcia, whose 1985-1990 presidency left Peru in economic ruin, ran for office against Ollanta Humala, a nationalist retired army officer enthusiastically endorsed by Hugo Chavez, Venezuela 's president. Humala's radical, anti-system rhetoric resonates among many of the country's poor. \u003cbr/\u003eThe poor feel they have not benefited from economic growth that averaged 5.5 percent over the past 4 years. \u003cbr/\u003eIt was a stunning comeback for a man whose name had been equated with political disaster, and a rejection of a political upstart enthusiastically endorsed by Venezuela 's anti-US president. \u003cbr/\u003eHumala, still defiant, told a crowd of his supporters in the capital that there would be no progress in the country, \"while corruption is still present.\" He added that his party would fight for an audit of all the countries regional governments. \u003cbr/\u003eHumala, a 43-year-old retired military man, spooked upper- and middle-class Peruvians by attacking the established parties as corrupt and unresponsive to the needs of the poor. He vowed to write a new constitution stripping them of power. \u003cbr/\u003eThat radical rhetoric won Garcia votes on Peru 's more industrialised northern coast and in Lima , the capital, where Garcia said he had won 65 percent of the vote. \u003cbr/\u003eAP Television \u003cbr/\u003eLima , 4 June 2006 \u003cbr/\u003eMid view of soldier observing from balcony with people in background Various of United for Peru presidential candidate Ollanta Humala voting \u003cbr/\u003eGarcia voting \u003cbr/\u003eAP Television \u003cbr/\u003eLima , 4 June 2006 \u003cbr/\u003eWide of Alan Garcia walking out to podium at American Popular Revolutionary Alliance (APRA) party headquarters \u003cbr/\u003eWide of fireworks \u003cbr/\u003eMid view of Garcia supporters \u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE (Spanish) Alan Garcia, Presidential Candidate, APRA Party: \u003cbr/\u003e\"During this second opportunity we will do everything in our power not to fail or deceive the Peruvian people.\" \u003cbr/\u003eDemocrats snatched control of Capitol Hill from the Republicans for the first time in 12 years in November with a narrow win in the Virginia Senate race, capping an election that saw embattled Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld resigning and had President George W. Bush shouldering a large part of the responsibility for Republican losses. \u003cbr/\u003eDemocrats also snatched control of the House of Representatives away from Republicans. The Senate had teetered at 50 Democrats, 49 Republicans for most of Wednesday, with Virginia hanging in the balance, with less than 7,500 votes separating the two candidates. \u003cbr/\u003eAbout a third of American voters were using new equipment, and problems in several states were reported right away. The Justice Department sent a record 850 poll watchers to 69 cities and counties to safeguard against fraud, discrimination or system malfunctions in tight races. \u003cbr/\u003eGlitches delayed balloting in dozens of Indiana and Ohio precincts, and Illinois officials were swamped with calls from voters complaining that poll workers did not know how to operate new electronic equipment. \u003cbr/\u003eAfter the elections, Bush took a conciliatory toward Nancy Pelosi, soon-to-be leader of the House of Representatives, after her Democratic Party. After a bitter campaign that sometimes got personal between the president and the woman soon to be House speaker, the two had a makeup luncheon at the White House. \u003cbr/\u003eEarlier, after meeting with his Cabinet and Republican leaders from the House and Senate, the president ticked off a to-do list for the current Congress before January's changeover in power. \u003cbr/\u003eThat list included: spending bills funding government's continued operation; legislation authorising his domestic surveillance programme; energy legislation; and congressional approval for a landmark civilian nuclear cooperation agreement with India and for normalising trade relations with Vietnam . \u003cbr/\u003eBarely a week after the elections, the Capitol buzzed with the energy of House members-to-be and senators-in-waiting attending orientation. More than 50 incoming House members spent the day in meetings focused not on big legislative items or the Iraq war but rather on office logistics and ethics, a key issue after a season of scandal that had, at least in part, led to the election of the new members. \u003cbr/\u003eAP Television \u003cbr/\u003eWashington , DC - 8 November 2006 \u003cbr/\u003ePush in view of Capitol Hill \u003cbr/\u003eAP Television \u003cbr/\u003eColumbus , Ohio - 7 November 2006 \u003cbr/\u003ePoll workers setting up desks \u003cbr/\u003eElection official checking machines \u003cbr/\u003eNew York City , New York \u003cbr/\u003eMan going into voting booth \u003cbr/\u003ePool \u003cbr/\u003eCrawford , Texas - 7 November 2006 \u003cbr/\u003eExterior of Crawford Fire Department polling place \u003cbr/\u003eUS President George W.

Lay was convicted on all six counts against him in the trial with Skilling. \u003cbr/\u003eSkilling was convicted on 19 of the 28 counts against him, including one count of insider trading, and acquitted on the remaining nine. Skilling told reporters outside the courthouse: \"Obviously, I'm disappointed.

Authorities said the gunman, Charles Carl Roberts IV, shot himself as police stormed the schoolhouse. \u003cbr/\u003eRoberts, apparently spurred by a grudge two decades old, wrote to his wife what authorities described as suicide notes, took three guns and ammunition and went to the West Nickel Mines Amish School ready for an extended siege. \u003cbr/\u003ePolice said the milk-truck driver was carrying three guns when he stormed the school, and that he sent the boys and adults outside, barricaded the doors with wood planks, and then opened fire on a dozen girls, killing three people before committing suicide. \u003cbr/\u003ePolice said he had with him a stun gun, two knives, a pile of wood and a bag with 600 rounds of ammunition. Police said he also had a change of clothing, toilet paper, bolts and hardware and rolls of clear tape. \u003cbr/\u003eMost of the victims had been shot execution-style at point-blank range after being lined up along the chalkboard, their feet bound with wire and plastic ties, authorities said. \u003cbr/\u003eRoberts, a 32-year-old father of three from the nearby town of Bart , had a daughter who died as an infant. He was not Amish, and did not appear to be targeting the Amish and apparently chose the school because he was bent on killing young girls as a way of acting out in revenge for something that happened 20 years ago. \u003cbr/\u003eThe shooting took place at the one-room West Nickel Mines Amish School , a neat white building set amid green fields, with a square white horse fence around the schoolyard. The school had about 25 to 30 students, ages 6 to 13. \u003cbr/\u003eA few days later, a procession of 34 buggies and carriages carried mourners to a hilltop cemetery as the Amish community buried the first of the victims. Two state troopers on horseback led the cortege, followed by a long horse-drawn buggy carrying the body of seven-year-old Naomi Rose Ebersol. \u003cbr/\u003eThe route wove past the home of Roberts. \u003cbr/\u003eAll roads leading into the village of Nickel Mines were blocked by state police so the Amish could gather privately in homes to remember Ebersol, 13-year-old Marian Fisher, and sisters Mary Liz Miller, who was eight, and Lena Miller, who was seven. \u003cbr/\u003eAmish custom calls for simple wooden caskets, narrow at the head and feet and wider in the middle. \u003cbr/\u003eAn Amish girl is typically laid to rest in a white dress, a cape, and a white prayer-covering on her head, said funeral director Philip W.
