NEWS AROUND THE WORLD
SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO
A 14-year old girl went on a playground rampage with a hypodermic needle, stabbing 37 classmates, Puerto Rican officials said Thursday.
"She would stab one, run, stab another, run, like it was some sort of joke," Education Secretary Jesus Rivera Sanchez said about Tuesday's lunchtime attack on 12- to 14-year-olds at the Jose de Choudhens middle school in the town of Arrovo.
Health Department spokeswoman Margarita Casaldua said it was unclear if the syringe contained anything and further tests were needed to determine if it was contaminated.
Rivera said the girl first told investigators she found the syringe, but later said she stole an unused one while visiting a relative at a hospital and had planned to pierce her ear with it. He said it was not clear why she decided to attack her classmates.
LOME. TOGO
A court in Togo has sentenced one of the president's relatives to 20 years for his role in a 2009 coup plot in the West African nation.
Judge Petchelebia Abalo on Thursday sentenced former defense minister Kpatcha Gnassingbe, Gen. Assani Tidjani and Abi Atti to 20 years each. Gnassingbe is the half brother of President Faure Gnassingbe.
The court acquitted 20 other suspects, including another Gnassingbe relative, and gave eight others vavying sentences.
The president has been in power since his father, military leader Gnassingbe Eyadema, died in 2005 after ruling the small West African country since 1967. Faure Gnassingbe seized control, but held elections a few months later under international pressure.
MOSCOW
British Prime Minister David Cameron declared Monday that Russia and Britain must set aside bitter disputes over the poisoning death of a Kremlin critic in London five years ago to nurture new trading ties and help promote world stability in the wake of the Arab uprisings.
Cameron was in Moscow for the first visit to Russia's capital by a British leader in six years, meeting with President Dmitry Medvedev, and holding the first talks by any British official with Prime Minister Vladimir Putin in more than four years.
Relations between Britain and Russia soured over the 2006 death of dissident ex-Russian security agent Alexander Litvinenko in London. Litvinenko made a deathbed statement accusing Putin of authorizing his killing.
Following their talks, Medvedev said frosty relations between London and Moscow were thawing.
Japan's Fisheries Agency said Thursday that the fleet harvested 49 minke, 95 sei and 50 Bryde's whales and one sperm whale during its three-month Pacific expedition.
Japan says it has caught 195 whales in the Pacific Ocean this season under a research program opposed by activists who call it commercial whaling in disguise.
TOKYO
Japan also hunts hundreds of whales in the Antarctic Ocean as part of its research program, which is exempt from a 1986 whaling ban.
Critics say the expeditions are a cover for commercial whaling because meat from the harvest is sold for domestic consumption.
Japan's annual whale catch has declined in recent years due to violent protests by conservationist groups.
FUNDRAISING
Cancer Center reaches goal, applies for NCI designation
The University of Kansas Cancer Center recently reached its goal of $61 million fundraised after a $500,000 donation from the Capital Federal Foundation in Topeka.
The new funding will help the University's Cancer Center in its efforts to apply for National Cancer Institute designation. The first of these efforts will start Sept. 25 when the Cancer Center submits a 600-page grant proposal and preparing for the NC's site visit.
"With the hard work and dedication of those at the KU Cancer Center, tomorrow's breakthroughs in cancer research and treatment can happen here in Kansas City, which is certainly exciting." Capitol Federal Foundation Chairman John C. Dicus said. "We are truly thankful for the opportunity to contribute to these advancements."
There are currently 66 designated Cancer Centers in the nation, according to the National Cancer Institute.
According to its website, the University's Cancer Center seeks to "reduce the burden of cancer by providing exceptional diagnosis, education, prevention and care."
Donations made to the University's Cancer Center will count toward the "Far Above: The Campaign for Kansas," a comprehensive fundraising campaign for the University, which is scheduled for public kick-off in April 2012.
