At least 10 people dead after storms

ALSTEAD, N.H. — Where Sally and Tim Canfield's home once stood, there is only open land. Their home was washed away by floodwaters, and two days after the rains subsided, their family found no trace of them.
Rescue crews and police dogs searched rivers and woods Tuesday for the Canfields and two others missing in New Hampshire after a weekend of heavy downpours that left at least 10 people dead from Maine to Pennsylvania.
"We didn't find any bodies," said a brother-in-law, Rick Mason, who spent time with crews looking for the Canfields. "First there was Katrina, then there was the earthquake, but this is pretty devastating right here."
Gov. John Lynch said the floods were the worst the state had experienced in a quartercentury, and he sought a federal disaster declaration.
At least one of those missing in New Hampshire, a 67-year-old kayaker, was feared dead.
Teams from the Federal Emergency Management Agency were expected to arrive later this week.
In Greenfield, Mass., where floods wrecked 40 trailers in a
mobile home park, the mayor said repairs would cost more than $1 million.
The flooding damaged a bridge and a dam, washed out a road, cracked sewer mains and left at least 70 residents homeless, Mayor Christine Forgey said.
She declared a state of emergency and said she also would need state and federal help. "There is no way we could foot this bill," she said
From Friday evening through Sunday, storms dumped as much as 10 inches of rain on New England and
Just as the region began to dry out, forecasters warned that there could be another of flooding if rainfall exceeded the 1 to 2 inches expected through today.
the mid-Atlantic states. In New Hampshire, Hinsdale got 10.8 inches and Keene 10.5.
The floods forced the evacuation of 1,000 New Hampshire residents. Officials went door-to-door Tuesday to check on the condition of many homes.
Police in Alstead discovered that the flood had washed away their station.
"There's four feet of mud on our first floor," said Wendy Gendron, who was evacuated with her family on Sunday. "There is no backyard anymore."
dozens houses were washed away. Some residents found they did not have much to return to.
A stretch of at least 50 along one road had some type of damage; officials said a
"All of our police records, computers, weapons ... everything that was in there is gone. It's destroyed," said Police Chief Christopher Lyons.

Prosecutors question jailed reporter

Cheney's chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby.
"I only have a high school education, but what I do have is an understanding of Tibetan and American culture," Tinkghey said. "I thought I could be helpful."
Gyatso came to the United States because he got many invitations after publishing his book, "The Autobiography of a Tibetan Monk." He said many people were curious about his approach toward those who tortured him. Gyatso said he had nothing but compassion for them. He said he also wanted to educate people about Tibet and the human rights violations that go on there.
Gyatso began studying to become a monk at the age of 10. Tibet is a nation of Buddhist culture, and its culture encourages the middle of three sons to become a monk, he said. Gyatso was the middle son.
WASHINGTON - New York Times reporter Judith Miller turned over additional notes and underwent questioning by prosecutors Tuesday in the criminal probe of the Bush administration's leak of a covert CIA officer's identity.
Miller testified Sept. 30 before a federal grand jury after getting a waiver from her source and after receiving assurances from prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald that questions would be limited to Miller's conversations with Vice President Dick
"It cannot be broken down to one philosophy," Gyatso said. "It encompasses many views and many discourses of meditation. The more detail, the more danger of misunderstanding, but overall it's a complete encompassing wisdom that can relieve you from any kind of difficulties and not make you crazy or extremely depressed."
For 17 years he studied Buddhist literature. He then studied higher education of Buddhist views and philosophies called "nangdhun rigpa," which is the highest view of Buddhist philosophy.
He escaped briefly in 1962. When he was caught, his term was raised by 15 years. Tingdlhy, Gyatso's translator, said when he read the monk's book it touched him. He said he quickly took the opportunity to translate for Gyatso when he saw that he needed an interpreter.
"Tibet belongs to Tibetans," Gvatso said.
The Chinese officers said the Dalai Lama couldn't come with guards, but only one person who was unarmed. Many Tibetans immediately, but peacefully, protested against China in Lasha, Tibet, the capital.
In a memo to its staff, the newspaper said Miller would appear today before a federal grand jury in the investigation, her second grand jury appearance in recent days.
The reporter had spent 85 days in jail for refusing to cooperate with Fitzgerald.
Gyatso was arrested in 1959 for peacefully protesting the Chinese occupation of Tibet. He said the main reason he protested was because the Dalai Lama had been given an invitation to attend a dinner with Chinese officers. He and other Tibetans thought it was a plan to assassinate — or at least capture — him.

The additional notes deal with a separate conversation she had with Libby.
The Times said that it was preparing a story about Miller's "entanglement with the White House leak investigation" and that the story would be completed when the reporter finished her cooperation with prosecutors.
Presidential aide Karl Rove and Libby had conversations with reporters in July 2003 about the identity of Valerie Plame days after her husband, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, suggested the Bush administration had misrepresented prewar intelligence on Iraq.
The grand jury looking into the leak expires Oct. 28. Fitzgerald also is calling presidential Rove for additional testimony. It will be Rove's fourth appearance.
Time magazine reporter Matthew Cooper has testified about conversations with Libby and Rove regarding Wilson's wife, who was a covert CIA officer.
