The Fisher-Price Rock 'N Play Infant Sleeper is seen in an undated photo provided by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with Fisher-Price Inc., of East Aurora, N.Y, on Jan. 8, 2013 announced a voluntary recall of the Fisher-Price Rock 'N Play Infant Sleeper. Mold can develop between the removable seat cushion and the hard plastic frame of the sleeper when it remains wet/moist or is infrequently cleaned, posing a risk of exposure to mold to infants sleeping in the product. The CPSC advises that mold has been associated with respiratory illnesses and other infections. Although mold is not present at the time of purchase, mold growth can occur after use of the product. Consumers should immediately inspect this product and stop using it if mold is found. Units currently in retail stores are not included in this recall to inspect.

The society is releasing new guidelines Friday, Jan. 11, 2013 that advise annual CT lung scans for people ages 55 to 74 who have smoked a pack of cigarettes a day for 30 years or the equivalent, such as two packs a day for 15 years. Research shows that screening these people can cut the risk of dying of lung cancer by 20 percent. (AP Photo/Jim Cole, File)

In this Feb. 21, 2011 photo, people gather at the Forsythe Park fountain in the historic district of Savannah, Ga. A proposal to roll out double-decker buses on the streets of historic downtown Savannah has residents complaining the change would amount to a tourism overload. Two Boston businessmen are lobbying Savannah City Hall to end a 17-year ban on double-decker buses in the downtown historic district of Georgia's oldest city. The city's Downtown Neighborhood Association is opposing the change. Its members say the buses would risk collisions with low-hanging tree limbs and would turn passengers into Peeping Toms capable of peering into second-story windows. (AP Photo/David Goldman)

The number of workers on a U.S.-funded construction project next to Kajaki has dwindled from 200 to 20 since last fall, and those remaining say workers feel the risk isn't worth the $6 daily paycheck. "They can't come here because all the routes to the district are controlled by the Taliban," said Razziq, a 28-year-old villager working on construction of a new district government center next to the dam.
