Iran is threatening to stop the flow of oil through the Strait
of Hormuz a key world oil route in the Persian Gulf
if the West imposes more sanctions over its controversial nuclear energy
program.The sanctions stem from a U.N. watchdog report that alleges the country
may be developing nuclear weapons. Iran has denied the claims, stating that
its program is for peaceful purposes, Reuters reports."If [the West] impose sanctions
on Iran's oil exports, then even one drop of oil cannot flow
from the Strait of Hormuz," Iran's First Vice President Mohammad Reza Rahimi
told Iranian news agency IRNA."Our enemies will give up on their plots
against Iran only if we give them a firm and strong lesson,"
he added.In Washington, State Department spokesman Mark Toner called the threat "bluster."
He said it was "another attempt by them to distract attention from
the real issue, which is their continued noncompliance with international nuclear obligations."Rahimi

keptical about the handling of the accident and the investigation.The Cabinet statement
cited "serious design flaws and major safety risks" and what it said
were a string of errors in equipment procurement and management. It also
criticized the Railways Ministry's rescue efforts.The report affirmed earlier government statements that
a lightning strike caused one bullet train to stall and then a
sensor failure and missteps by train controllers allowed a second train to
keep moving on the same track and slam into it.Those singled out
for blame included former Minister of Railways Liu Zhijun, a bullet train
booster who was detained in February amid a graft investigation. Also criticized
was the general manager of the company that manufactured the signal, who
died of a heart attack while talking to investigators in August.The decision
to assign blame to one figure who already has been jailed and
another who is dead, along with mid-level managers who have been fired,

DULUTH, Minn. A man charged with opening fire in a Minnesota
courthouse and wounding two people after being convicted in a sex case
has died at a Duluth hospital.St. Louis County Sheriff Ross Litman tells
the Duluth News Tribune (http://bit.ly/vvfDnf) that Daniel Schlienz fell ill Monday night
and died Tuesday. He says foul play is not suspected as there
were no signs of injuries, either self-inflicted or by someone else.The 42-year-old
Schlienz had been charged with two counts of attempted first-degree premeditated murder.The
criminal complaint says after Schlienz was convicted of criminal sexual conduct, he
retrieved a gun from his vehicle and shot Cook County Attorney Tim
Scannell and Grand Marais resident Gregory Thompson inside the Grand Marais (MUH-ray)
courthouse Dec. 15. Both were hospitalized for five days.

said most of the tanks were gone but police and security agents
were spread out. "Snipers are all over Homs, this is something the
observers don't see," the resident said.Homs-based activist Majd Amer said members of
the Syrian opposition wished to reach the observers but didn't know how."They
are hostages in the hands of the regime," Amer said of the
monitors. "They are totally dependent on authorities to move around, make calls
and even to get their food and drink," he added in frustration.In
Washington, State Department spokesman Mark Toner demanded Syrian authorities allow the monitors
full access to the Syrian people."We expect that Arab League monitors will
be able to deploy and move freely within Homs and other Syrian
cities as protesters peacefully gather," Toner said Tuesday night. He suggested the
international community "will consider other means to protect Syrian civilians" if

LAS VEGAS Agustina Ocampo is the kind of foreign traveler businesses
salivate over.The 22-year-old Argentine recently dropped more than $5,000 on food, hotels
and clothes in Las Vegas during a trip that also took her
to Seattle's Space Needle, Disneyland and the San Diego Zoo. But she
doubts she will return soon."It is a little bit of a headache,"
said Ocampo, a student who waited months to find out whether her
tourist visa application would be approved.More than a decade after the federal
government strengthened travel requirements after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, foreign
visitors say getting a temporary visa remains a daunting and sometimes insurmountable
hurdle.The tourism industry hopes to change that with a campaign to persuade
Congress to overhaul the State Department's tourist visa application process."After 9/11, we
were all shaken and there was a real concern for security, and
I still think that concern exists," said Jim Evans, a former hot

File: Sen. Ben Nelson talks to reporters in December 2009. (AP)Nebraska Democratic
Sen. Ben Nelson, a pivotal figure in the health care debate, announced
his retirement Tuesday in a letter to Nebraskans, saying, "Simply: it's time
to move on.""It's time for me to step away from elective office,
spend more time with my family and look for new ways to
serve our state and nation. Therefore, I am announcing today that I
will not seek reelection," he said.Nelson's departure is not considered a surprise
despite efforts from his allies to encourage him to seek reelection, though
Democrats were taken aback that he chose not to run again while
holding $3 million in the bank ahead of expected GOP attacks.Sources say
the senator has been frustrated for awhile with Washington. He was roundly
scorned for his role in the health care debate by Democrats, who
were furious with his opposition to the so-called public option and requests
for exemption on abortion coverage.He was
