NEWS AROUND THE WORLD
MONTREAL
A Roman Catholic organization has agreed to pay $18 million in compensation for sexual abuse committed over several decades in Quebec.
The Congregation of Holy Cross committed Thursday to issuing an apology and providing financial compensation for abuses committed at three different institutions between 1950 and 2001. The assaults occurred over that period at College Notre-Dame in Montreal, and over shorter periods at two other institutions.
SANTIAGO. CHILE
The announcement comes after a mediation process launched last December by the congregation and by victims' representatives, who had been preparing a class-action lawsuit.
Chilean police used water cannons and tear gas to break up a student march for free public education on Thursday, hours after protesters' talks with the government collapsed.
A deployment of riot police surrounded students in the Plaza Italia, Santiago's traditional gathering place, where student leader Camila Vallejo tried to lead the march while holding a sign saying "United and Stronger," only to be pummed by water cannons and forced to retreat by tear gas.
TUNIS, TUNISIA
Protesters hurled rocks at police and set blockades ablaze in the streets as officers on horseback chased students onto nearby campuses. Vallejo said officers shot tear gas into their student government offices in "a direct attack against our organization."
Moncef Ben Abdeljellil of Sousse University's school of humanities said that four people entered the school Thursday, threatening to cut his throat.
A Tunisian university dean says a group of people armed with swords and knives entered his school and threatened staff after they refused to enroll students wearing Islamic face veils.
Abdeljejil said that after an initial panic, students and professors persuaded the four to leave peacefully.
Abdelejilil said the incident occurred after he refused enrollment to two students wearing the niqab, an Islamic face veil covering all but the eyes. He said he respects students' religious convictions but that the veil goes against the "civic rules" of the university.
Russia said a U.S. plan to base naval missile interceptors on Spain's coast is "unacceptable," reiterating its worries over the expansion of NATO's anti-ballistic defense system.
MOSCOW
Russia's Foreign Ministry said Thursday that a deal between Washington and Madrid to base Aegis Cruisers northwest of Gibraltar "can't but cause concern."
It said the warships' deployment brings about a "significant build-up of U.S. anti-missile capabilities in Europe."
Russia has long criticized U.S. plans for a system that would protect all of NATO's 28 member states against a potential missile attack from Iran.
Moscow says the plans threaten its own nuclear missiles or undermine their deterrence capability.
CRIME
Author scammed women for millions
An author of legal thrillers and science fiction was accused Thursday of meeting women through an online Jewish dating service and bilking them out of millions of dollars.
Mitchell Gross duped at least two women into investing about $4.4 million in a sham company he set up, using some of the money to buy expensive artwork, a luxury car and a golf club membership, federal prosecutors said. He faces wire fraud and money laundering charges.
Gross, a 61-year-old who writes under the pen name Mitchell Graham, pleaded not guilty. He has authored half a dozen books, but told a judge he only has a couple of thousand dollars.
He began a romantic relationship with a woman identified in court
documents as "R.J." They met on a site around June 2006 and told her he made a lot of money by investing with a broker named "Michael Johnson" who was employed by "The Merrill Company," the records show.
"R.J." called the broker to talk over the investments, but it was actually Gross speaking in a disguised voice on the other line, prosecutors said. "R.J." wired close to $3 million to an account she believed belonged to the company, but actually did not exist, prosecutors said. Gross concealed the scheme by sending her phony tax forms and account statements.
Investigators said they discovered he was using the funds to repay an ex-girlfriend who was duped into investing $1.4 million prosecutors said.

Adderall shortage still affects stores
Those suffering from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may have trouble finding a pharmacy that has Adderall XR, a drug that relieves ADHD symptoms, in stock.
Local pharmacies are still feeling the effects of a shortage that began in 2010. Local stores Walgreen's, Wal-Mart, CVS and Dillons are all out of the prescription
—Chance Penner
"Manufacturers can request additional quota at any time during the year. DEA will review their request and provide additional quota, if warranted."
According to Addall's manufacturer, Shire, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) restricted Addeall's production because of its active ingredient, which is considered an amphetamine.
"Manufacturers have a sufficient amphetamine quota to provide an uninterrupted supply of products," a spokesperson for the DEA said in a statement.
drug. However, Adderall XR can still be found at local stores Target, Hy-Vee and Watkins Medical Health Center.
Neither Shire nor the DEA are claiming responsibility for the lack of medication, and despite the shortage, Shire has nearly doubled its revenue from Aderall XR because of the price increase and demand for the product.
