SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) -- President Sebastian Pinera marked Sunday's anniversary of one of the largest earthquakes in recorded history by praising his government's progress on reconstruction and calling for national unity. Instead, his political opponents staged protests and questioned his numbers. The magnitude-8.8 quake killed 524 people and left 31 missing last Feb. 27, causing $30 billion in

MOBILE, Ala. (AP) -- Out-of-work carpenter Anthony Wayne Lamar had planned to be one of the first people in line for a job building new Air Force refueling tankers on the Gulf Coast.

"God knows we need it," said Lamar, 53, sitting in a downtown park. Now,

WASHINGTON (AP) -- One way for President Barack Obama to win the future, it seems, is to have his administration stop defending a federal law that bans recognition of same-sex marriage. Opinion polls show a steady rise in Americans' embrace of gay rights, and young voters solidly back positions their grandparents opposed, including gay marriage. "Anybody under the age of 40 doesn't care, or

ATLANTA (AP) -- More than 21,000 people got whooping cough last year, many of them children and teens. That's the highest number since 2005 and among the worst years in more than half a century, U.S. health officials said Wednesday. They are puzzled by the sharp rise in cases. The vaccine against whooping cough is highly effective in children, and vaccination rates for kids are good. The disease

Growing concern over violence in Libya has sent oil prices soaring and contributing to a decline in world stock markets. Some major foreign oil companies are evacuating families and staff from Libya, and some firms are curtailing operations. Libya exports about 2 percent of the oil the world uses each day, and supplies natural gas to European nations. Investors are worried that unrest in Libya

The Indian government is promising to increase efforts against corruption, which has emerged as a major challenge for the country. India's president made the commitment during an address to parliament, which was stalled last year by opposition concerns over the corruption issue.

A prominent U.S. magazine reported Friday the administration of U.S. President Barack Obama has entered into "direct, secret talks with senior Afghan Taliban leaders." Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Steve Coll, writing in The New Yorker, described the continuing talks as of "an exploratory nature" that do not yet amount to a "peace negotiation."

OSLO, Norway (AP) -- A Norwegian shipping magnate was strongly criticized Wednesday for suggesting that pirates captured off the Horn of Africa should be sunk with their skiffs or executed on the spot. "When (piracy) implies a great risk of being caught and hanged, and the cost of losing ships and weapons becomes too big, it will decrease and eventually disappear," Jacob Stolt-Nielsen said in an

Los Angeles (CNN) -- Christina Aguilera tumbled, Bob Dylan strained to be heard and Lady Gaga turned up in an egg costume -- just one of the many memorable moments from the 53rd annual Grammy Awards.

After a string of more sartorially subdued award shows, the Grammys are usually a welcome relief, with plenty of flash and sometimes shocking outfit choices. But this year, the artists who walked the red carpet left the sequin pasties and overly themed outfits at home, favoring relatively tame metallic gowns, dresses with angular cutouts and animal prints. Nicki Minaj, wearing the most

Australia's influential Business Council wants to cut foreign aid to help pay for the country's flood rebuilding effort.

NEW YORK - It's recently become an article of faith for many governors as they try to attract jobs: raising taxes during a recession is a nonstarter, choking off growth and damaging a state's fragile economic recovery. With the notable exception of Illinois, where Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn last month signed a 66 percent temporary personal income tax increase and a separate corporate rate hike to

Portraying his fiscal choices as kitchen table budgeting, President Obama says he is making difficult cuts to allow needed spending increases in education, technology and basic infrastructure like roads and bridges. In a broad preview of his administration's budget for fiscal 2012, Obama says the combination of cuts and new spending will result in an overall freeze in annual domestic spending for

We saw all the character traits from one figure looming over the Egypt story: the massive shows of emotion, the sketchy command of others' views, the megalomaniacal refusal to recognize facts on the ground. And, as always, the willingness to say and do anything to command the stage for one more day. We speak not of Hosni Mubarak, but of that other master of manipulation and misdirection, Glenn

The tension in Cairo is palpable after a chaotic day that saw the hopes of anti-government protesters raised, then dashed when President Hosni Mubarak told the nation he would delegate some powers, but stay on in office. After newly-empowered Vice President Omar Suleiman then told demonstrators to go home, many planned even bigger protests Friday. It was the speech the protesters did not want to
