President Obama on Thursday chose two old friends with business executive
experience for top posts on his economic team, naming longtime fundraiser
Penny Pritzker to the Commerce Department and adviser Michael Froman as
U.S. Trade Representative.Pritzker, a Hyatt hotel heiress, businesswoman
and philanthropist, is Obama's pick to fill a Cabinet post that has
been vacant since former Secretary John Bryson resigned after he said he
suffered a seizure that led to a series of traffic collisions.Froman is
one of Obama's law school classmates and senior economic advisers who previously
worked as an executive at Citigroup. The Cabinet-level trade post performs
as the administration's top adviser and negotiator on international trade.
If confirmed by the Senate, Froman would replace Ron Kirk, a former
Dallas mayor who stepped down as trade representative in February after
serving in the post throughout Obama's first term.Obama made the announcements
in the White House Rose Garden just before departing for Mexico. The
nominations, which require Senate confirmation, complete Obama's picks to
fill his second-term Cabinet.Obama said the two will help fulfill his top
priority to grow the economy and create middle class jobs."I intend to
work both of them to the bone as soon as they are
official," Obama said to laughter from a crowd that included the nominees'
families and administration staff.If confirmed, Pritzker would become the
fourth woman serv
June 30, 2011: California Gov. Jerry Brown signs the state budget.APSACRAMENTO,
Calif. Gov. Jerry Brown announced Wednesday that he has signed legislation
expanding the ability of state agents to seize firearms from nearly 20,000
Californians who are not allowed to have them.They collectively own more
than 39,000 handguns and 1,670 assault weapons but are prohibited from owning
firearms because they have been convicted of crimes, ruled mentally unstable
or are subject to domestic violence restraining orders.The bill authorizes
$24 million for the state Department of Justice's Armed and Prohibited Persons
program. The money will go to hire more agents to confiscate the
weapons and reduce the backlog over the next three years.The program, which
is unique to California, cross-checks five databases to find people who
bought weapons they are no longer legally allowed to own.SB140 by Senator
Mark Leno, D-San Francisco, authorizes $24 million to hire more agents to
confiscate the weapons and reduce the backlog over the next three years.The
bill is the first of numerous firearms bills introduced by lawmakers in
response to recent mass shootings in Connecticut and Colorado. The Democratic
governor signed the bill without comment."California is leading the nation
in a common-sense effort to protect public safety," Attorney General Kamala
Harris, who oversees the state Department of Justice, said in a statement.U.S.
Rep. Mike Thompson, a Democrat f

<p style="font-size:xx-small;">A new missile is carried during a mass military parade at the
Kim Il Sung Square in Pyongyang, North Korea.APNorth Korea is nearing completion
of a light-water reactor that is primarily intended to generate electricity
but which could add to concern over its nuclear program, a U.S.-based
institute said Wednesday.Satellite photos, the latest taken this month,
show the North appears to be putting finishing external touches to the
reactor at its Yongbyon nuclear complex, according to 38 North, the website
of the U.S.-Korea Institute at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International
Studies in Washington. The reactor could potentially begin operation within
a year or so, although considerable technical hurdles remain, 38 North says
in its analysis.Light-water reactors are best-suited for electricity generation,
and U.S. academics who visited the site in 2010 when construction of
the reactor began said it appeared designed for that purpose. It might
be adapted to produce plutonium for weapons, but North Korea already has
what's known as a gas-graphite reactor, which provides an easier option
for making bomb fuel.North Korea announced in early April it was restarting
the older reactor from which it is estimated to have derived enough
plutonium for a half-dozen bombs before it was shuttered in 2007 during
aid-for-disarmament negotiations. The announcement came amid a torrent of
war threats from Pyongyang after the U.N. Security Council tightened
illed four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Chris
Stevens.Click for more images of the individuals sought by the FBI.While
the investigation continues, the debate over Benghazi once again is heating
up in Washington as insiders apparently are seeking permission to speak
to Congress.An attorney for one of the employees recently claimed to Fox
News that her client and others have been threatened by administration officials.But
the White House denied Wednesday that any whistle-blowers were being blocked
from testifying. Press Secretary Jay Carney addressed the claims a day after
President Obama, during a lengthy press conference, said he was unaware
of the claims and would look into them."Benghazi happened a long time
ago," Carney said. "We are unaware of any agencies blocking an employee
who would like to appear before Congress to provide information related
to Benghazi."Carney said a prior review board "heard from everyone and invited
everyone." He said the latest allegations "are part of an unfortunate pattern
of spreading misinformation and politicizing the issue."At the same time,
officials with the State Department and Defense Department both wrote back
to House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa,
R-Calif., this week claiming they were "unaware" of any request for a
security clearance for an employee's attorney. The request for a security
clearance would be a necessary step for any potential whistle-blo
