NEWS AROUND THE WORLD
HAVANA
Cuban authorities said Thursday that American Diana Nyad plans to take another shot at what would be a record swim from Cuba to Florida after falling short of her goal last month.
An email from Cuban press officials invited journalists to an encounter with the famed endurance swimmer Friday at a marina in Havana.
"Diana Nyad will offer a news conference before once again beginning to swim across the Florida Straits between Havana and Key West, in continuation of the attempt realized on Aug. 7," the invitation read.
A spokeswoman for Nyad declined to comment on her plans, saying she would do so at the news conference.
The Los Angeles woman set out Aug.7 from a Havana jetty and swam 29 hours before calling it quits about halfway through the 103-mile (166-kilometer) crossing.
President Nicolas Sarkozy has distanced himself from a suspected corruption scandal that has roiled the French political class after an investigating magistrate began legal action against two of his close allies.
PARIS
Investigators are probing whether a French defense deal in the 1990s with Pakistan involving suspected kickbacks set the stage for a Karachi car bombing in 2003 that killed 15 people — mostly French defense contractors.
In a statement Thursday, Sarkozy's office said his name is not mentioned in any documents linked to the investigation, and lashed out at "slander and political manipulation" over the case.
Investigators on Wednesday filed preliminary charges linked to alleged corruption against two Sarkozy confidants — former officials Nicolas Bazire and Thierry Gaubert.
Prada, hailed by fashion critics as one of the few designers today with a personal point of view and a thirst for new ideas, had already skimmed the comic books for her summer menswear collection in June. She decorated her casual collection with cowboy figures, rockabilly dancers, old-fashioned cars and sports gear — especially golf, the main theme of the collection.
MILAN
Miuccia Prada is on a fashion sabbatical from the real world, taking refuge in a fantasy land of comic strips, yesteryear toys and fictitious characters.
For her Spring/Summer 2012 women's collection, which previewed Thursday, Prada was back in the make-believe grab bag. She pulled out 1950s model cars (two in plastic foam doubled as seats for guests at the show), comic book figures and bouquets of roses from grandma's trunk in the attic.
If you're interested in donating to the United Way to receive a Kansas t-shirt, visit http://www.unitedwaydgc.org/buy%20a%20shirt.html to learn more.
A memorial ceremony for thousands of Jewish victims of the Holocaust was held Thursday in a church in the Lithuanian capital of Vilnius, with volunteers reading the name and profession of every resident who lived in the Jewish chetto.
Organizers said the lists of names, gathered from a census taken in 1942, includes thousands of names and would require at least 15 hours to read.
The ghetto was established after Nazi Germany took over Lithuania in 1941. A large part of the ghetto's population died from either starvation or disease, and those who survived where subsequently shot outside Vilnius or sent to death camps.
VILNIUS, LITHUANIA
"There were thousands on names read today — names of Jews who died in a forest near Vilnius after the Nazis marched them from the ghetto," lawmaker Emanuelis Zingeris told The Associated Press.

UNITED WAY FROM 11
way to reaching its fundraising goal of $315,000. Thursday's fundraising event, which collected roughly $400, contributed to the current donation tally of $100,000.
The United Way of Douglas County provides funds to a variety of organizations in the Lawrence community, such as the Willow Domestic Violence Center, GaDuGi SafeCenter and Douglas County AIDS Project.
"$10 is a great gift and our agencies can make it go a long way," she said. "Help us beat Missouri."
Colleen Gregoire, vice president of the United Way of Douglas County, said that because of the fraught economy many people need assistance from organizations that the United Way supports.
"There are more and more people across the community that don't have jobs," she said. "And they're needing some extra help."
The fundraising event also launched a t-shirt competition amongst students from the University of Missouri, Kansas State University and the University of Kansas. Last year, the University of Missouri won the competition.
Alexx Fuller, a sophomore from San Diego, Calif., said that her family's plan to start a nonprofit organization prompted her to contribute to the United Way at the fundraising event.
"Non-profit organizations benefit off what people donate," Fuller said. "I find that important."
Gregorie said that donations of any size will help the Lawrence community.
DANCE FROM 11
so thrilled to hear that. There are a lot of ways to have a life in dance beyond the moment of performance," Heffner Hayes said.
But future salaries aren't the sole priority for dancers of the University Dance Company. Each member wishes to use their passion to affect the audience. Movements are used instead of words to convey a message to the audience. Company members hope that the University's students will walk away with a new outlook on dance after watching their performances, which are scheduled for this semester on Nov.
"To grow as a university, everyone should know what's going on throughout the campus; the arts are important, just like athletics. We just want students to give it a chance."
17 and 18 at the Lied Center at 7:30 p.m.

"Even though we put a lot of hard work into what we do, that's not what it's all about. We want everyone to enjoy and appreciate what we do, maybe not understand it, but appreciate the art and try to learn something new," Mann said.
