INTERNATIONAL 1. South Korea considers giving aid to North Korea
SEOUL, South Korea — South Korea will consider resuming humanitarian aid to impoverished North Korea but it has ruled out assistance on the large scale of previous, more liberal administrations, a senior official said Sunday.
Any such assistance would be the first from the conservative administration of President Lee Myung-bak, who has linked aid to the North's progress in getting rid of its nuclear programs.
For a decade, South Korea was one of the biggest donors to the North, shipping hundreds of thousands of tons of food across the militarized border every year. But aid stopped after Lee took office last year with a pledge to get tough on the North. That prompted a dip in relations, and tensions deepened over the regime's nuclear and missile tests earlier this year. Ties have since improved.
North Korea asked for humanitarian assistance at talks with the South on Friday — its first such request during Lee's government.
2.16-year-old bids to be youngest to sail the world

SYDNEY — A 16-year-old Australian steered her bright

3. Cargo ship delivers supplies to space station
MOSCOW — A cargo ship has delivered food, fuel, oxygen and other supplies to the International Space Station.
Russia's space agency says the unmanned Progress M-03M docked with the orbital station Sunday after a three-day trip up from Earth.
The space station is orbiting about 225 miles above Earth. Its current crew includes two Russians, two Americans, a Canadian and a Belgian.
Canadian Cirque du Soleil founder Guy Laliberte returned to Earth a week ago after a stint as the seventh paying space tourist aboard the station.
Care packages for members of the multinational six-person crew were one part of the delivery vehicle's 2.65 ton cargo.

4. Three participants die during Detroit marathon
NATIONAL
DETROIT — A half-marathoner and two other runners died during the Detroit marathon on Sunday, organizers said.
Daniel Langdon, 36, of Laingsburg, collapsed at about 9:02 a.m. between the 11- and 12-mile markers, said Rich Harshbarger, vice president of consumer marketing for the Detroit Media Partnership.
It was unclear whether Brown and Langdon were participating in the 13.1-mile half marathon or the full race.
Harshbarger told the Free Press that there were at least six medical stations on the race course and that emergency personnel were on the scene within seconds.
Rick Brown, 65, of Marietta,
Ohio, collapsed at 9:17 a.m., near
where Langdon went down, and
26-year-old Jon Fenlon of Waterford collapsed at about 9:18 a.m.,
just after finishing the half-marathon in 1:53:37, Harshbarger said.
5. Murder case in Arizona widens to three killed
FLAGTAFF, Ariz. — An Arizona homicide investigation now includes three deaths after a woman died more than a week after participating in a sweat lodge ceremony that hospitalized nearly two dozen people.
Liz Neuman of Minnesota died Saturday at a Flagstaff hospital, Yavapai County sheriff's spokesman Dwight D'Evelyn said.
The 49-year-old suffered multiple organ damage during the Oct.8 ceremony at a resort near Sedona, a resort town 115 miles north of Phoenix that draws many in the New Age spiritual movement.
6. Spike TV holds awards for movies in sci-fi genre
LOS ANGELES — A larger-than-life snowglobe filled with murderous little girls, a "Battlesiar Gallactica" spaceship and comic-book legend Stan Lee flying overhead on a bouquet of giant balloons — just a few signs that Spike TV's "Scream 2009" is different from other awards shows.
The star-studded event, held Saturday at the Greek Theatre, honors the best in sci-fi, horror, fantasy and comic-inspired movies-and TV shows.
Fans voted online for the winners, so some of the year's most popular programs and big box-office hits took home trophies, including "Transformers," Twilight,""True Blood"and "Star Trek." Stars of those properties and other surprise guests appeared throughout the $3\frac{1}{2}$-hour ceremony.
