NEWS AROUND THE WORLD
ALBUQUERQUE
A 13-year-old was handcuffed and hauled off to a juvenile detention for burping in class, according to a lawsuit filed against an Albquerque school principal. a teacher and school police officer.
The boy was transported without his parents being notified in May after he "burped audibly" in PE class and his teacher called a school resource officer to complain he was disrupting her class. The lawsuit also details a separate Nov. 8 incident when the same student was forced to strip down to his underwear while five adults watched as he was accused of selling pot to another student; the boy was never charged.
What if they threw a giant party for the Americas and didn't invite the United States or Canada? That's what Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is doing with a two-day, 33-nation summit starting Friday, welcoming nations from Brazil to Jamaica in what he hopes will be a grand alliance to counter U.S. influence.
CARACAS. VENEZUELA
Many presidents have less sweeping goals in mind, seeing the new Community of Latin American and Caribbean States mainly as a forum for resolving regional conflicts, building closer ties and promoting economic development.
CAIRO
The political arm of the Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt's largest and best organized group, could take as much as 45 percent of the seats being contested. The Egyptian bloc coalition of liberal parties and the ultra-fundamentalist Nour party were competing for second place, the judges said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the count remains incomplete.
PARIS
Following an unexpectedly large turnout, Egypt's election commission announced Thursday a delay in final results for the first-round of parliamentary elections while judges monitoring the count said Islamist parties are poised to gain a parliamentary majority.
A new book purports to give Dominique Strauss-Kahn's version of events of what happened in that New York hotel suite.
In "DSK Affairs: The Second Inquiry," Strauss-Kahn's biographer says when a hotel maid locked eyes with the then head of the International Monetary Fund after he emerged naked from a shower, he interpreted her allegedly seductive body language as a proposition.
The one-time French presidential contender has not spoken out on the May 14 encounter which led U.S. authorities to charge him with attempted rape, and the book is being marketed as his much-anticipated side of the story.

High school cleared after Thursday bomb threat
"I was walking into school and there was like 50 kids just running out and they started yelling," said Kyle McFarland, a junior at Free State. "I thought there was a fight or something."
A written bomb threat led to the evacuation of Free State High School Thursday morning. Police received the report at around 7:45 a.m., and all students and faculty left the building without injury, according to a release from the Lawrence Police Department.
The Lawrence School District directed
the students be sent home as a precaution.
Police and school officials conducted a thorough search of the building, finding nothing that appeared suspicious, out of place or threatening to the safety and security of the campus, according to a notice on the school district's website. Free State resumed after-school and evening activities Thursday and will be in session Friday as planned.
Police asked anyone with information to call 785-832-7650.

Four students expelled after A&M hazing death
University President James Ammons referred to the dismissals in a memo he sent earlier this week to members of the FAMU Board of Trustees, but didn't specify what the four students did. Authorities say hazing played a role in the death of Robert Champion, but they have not released any more specifics as they continue to investigate.
ORLANDO, Fla. — Florida A&M University said that it's dismissing four students for their role in the death of a marching band member last month, while audio of an emergency call released Thursday showed that the drum major had vomit in his mouth in the moments before he died.
Ammons says in his memo that the university has a zero-tolerance policy on hazing, then states; "I want to report that four students have been dismissed from the University in connection to the Robert Champion include: t."
In the 911 recording obtained by The Associated Press, an unidentified caller told the emergency dispatcher that Champion had stopped breathing and was unresponsive. Champion had just thrown up, the caller said before handing the phone to a second man.
The 26-year-old Cuiampian was found unresponsive Nov. 19 on a bus parked outside an Orlando, Fla., hotel after the school's football team lost to a rival.
"We need an ambulance ASAP," the first caller said. "His eyes are open but he's not responding."
The dispatcher told the second man to place Champion on his back and
He is cold, the second caller said. The owner of the company that transported members of the band known as the Marching 100 told the AP Thursday that the driver did not hear or see any commotion on the bus before Champion collapsed.
Ray Land, president of Fabulous Coach Lines, said his company has transported the band to many games and never had any incidents of hazing or inappropriate conduct on the buses.
clean any vomit from his nose and mouth. But the call was disconnected before the caller could say if he was successful. Before the call ended, the man told the dispatcher he was going to attempt to resuscitate Champion. He also is heard ordering another man to get a defibrillator from inside the hotel.
"He is cold," the second caller said.
FAMU's hand director, Julian White was fired as part of the fallout over Champion's death. Ammons also suspended the Marching 100.
The driver was helping students unload their instruments outside the hotel when Champion collapsed. Land said.
Florida Gov. Rick Scott asked Thursday that the state university system have all 11 universities review anti-hazing rules. Florida's Board of Governors, which oversees all the universities, already requires all schools to have anti-hazing rules and penalties.
FAMU says it will conduct an independent review, but the group that oversees the public university system in Florida says it also will carry out an investigation into whether FAMU ignored past warnings about hazing.
