1. Medvedev says Russia will cooperate with U.S.
MOSCOW — President Dmitry Medvedev said Wednesday that Russia and its ex-Soviet allies wanted to cooperate with the United States on stabilizing Afghanistan.
Saying Moscow and its allies "are ready for full-fledged, comprehensive cooperation," the Russian leader seemed to imply that Moscow's help in Afghanistan was contingent on a broader list of changes it wants from the new U.S. administration.
These include a halt to NATO enlargement in Europe and the cancellation of plans for a U.S. missile-defense system on Russia's western borders.
2. Heavy rains in Australia send wildlife indoors
SYDNEY — Rain-battered residents in northeastern Australia were on alert Wednesday for snakes in their bathrooms and crocodiles in the road following repeated storms that have sent local wildlife in search of dry land or a safe haven.
More than half of Queensland state was declared a disaster area Tuesday because of the rains that started in late December and are expected to continue.
BERLIN— Documents have surfaced in Egypt showing the world's most-wanted Nazi war criminal, concentration camp doctor Aribert Heim, died in Cairo in 1992, Germany's ZDF television and The New York Times reported Wednesday.

NATIONAL
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Federal agents on Wednesday searched the home of a man linked to the fatal 1982 Tylenol poisonings in the Chicago area.
No one was ever charged with the deaths of seven people who took the cyanide-laced drugs. The FBI would not immediately confirm that the search at the home of James W. Lewis was related to the Tylonel case, only that it was part of an ongoing investigation.
Lewis served more than 12 years in prison for sending an extortion note to Johnson & Johnson.
5. Army contractor pleads guilty to manslaughter
ALEXANDRIA, Va. — An Army contractor is facing up to 15 years in prison after pleading guilty to
manslaughter in the shooting death of a handcuffed Taliban member in Afghanistan who had just set one of the contractor's colleagues on fire.
Don M. Ayala, 46, of New Orleans, struck a plea bargain Tuesday in federal court in Alexandria, avoiding murder charges.
6. 5th-grader found dead in school bathroom
EVANSTON, III. — A 10-year-old boy died after reportedly being found hanging from a hook in a school restroom, and police on Wednesday would not confirm the school district's contention that the death was accidental.
The mother of Aquan Lewis said Wednesday that she was still waiting for an explanation of what happened to the fifth-grade at Oakton Elementary in the Chicago suburb of Evanston.

RECRUITMENT PLAN Tuition bill offers break for out-of-state students
A new recruitment plan that encourages out-of-state future Jayhawks to attend the University of Kansas is being considered. Jack Martin, deputy director of communications, said if House Bill
2007 was passed it would allow the Board of Regents to consider KU's plan called "Jayhawk Generations Tuition Plan."
Under this plan, out-of-state students with family ties to KU would be eligible for reduced tuition.
"We want to encourage students who have existing relationships to KU through their parents or grandparents to come to KU and then stay in Kansas after they graduate," Martin said.
Martin said the cost of tuition for these students would be more expensive than in-state tuition, but still significantly lower than out-of-state costs.
could not comment on when the University would bring its plan before the Requests.
If passed, the bill would amend a current statute that only allows the Regents to consider a limited range of recruitment techniques.
KU officials who spoke in favor of the bill said it would allow KU to extend its recruitment to out-
of- state students.
KU officials testifying included Provost Richard Lariviere; Danny Anderson, vice provost for academic affairs; Marlesa Roney, vice provost for student success; and Kevin Corbett, president and CEO of the KU Alumni Association. The full testimony presented is available at the Government Relations Web site.

-Lauren Bloodgood, Junior-Dallas, TX
After being parked at the airport for Thanksgiving Break, I went to turn my car on and it was dead. I remembered Don't Auto from the UDK and my Dad wanted me use the longest, most reliable Auto Service. Not only did Don't Auto fix my car, but called me several times in the process of doing so they could save me the most money.
