Kenyan Makes 900-Km US Trek to Fight Elephant Poaching Oct 2nd 2013, 19:59, by webdesk@voanews.com (Pamela Dockins) Jim Nyamu is a man on a mission. With Kenyan flag in hand, he has spent the past month crossing the northeastern United States on foot, stopping along the way to tell people how a growing demand for elephant ivory, especially in Asia, has fueled an increase in poaching that could drive some elephant populations to extinction.   Why United States?

US Government Shutdown Complicates Obama Asia Travel Oct 2nd 2013, 21:56, by webdesk@voanews.com (Dan Robinson) A trip that President Barack Obama is scheduled to take to Asia has been cut short by the continuing stalemate between the White House and Republicans over the U.S. government shutdown.  Shutdown politics continue to play out on Capitol Hill, and Obama called congressional leaders to the White House late Wednesday to discuss ways of finding a quick exit from the impasse. The president was forced to cancel stops in Malaysia and the Philippines, phoning Prime Minister Najib Razak and ...

White House Fiscal Talks Yield Varying Expectations Oct 2nd 2013, 21:57, by webdesk@voanews.com (Michael Bowman) President Barack Obama met with congressional leaders of both parties for the first time since a partial U.S. government shutdown began earlier this week. Expectations for the meeting varied greatly among Democratic and Republican lawmakers, who remain deadlocked on extending federal funding. For days, Democrats repeatedly have stated they will not negotiate with Republicans on the fiscal impasse as long as Republicans have partisan stipulations for reopening the federal government.

'Breaking Bad' Ends, but Albuquerque Hopes High Lasts Oct 1st 2013, 22:07, by webdesk@voanews.com (Reuters) As fans readied to see how chemistry teacher turned drug kingpin Walter White would meet his end in the tense finale of "Breaking Bad" on Sunday night, one Albuquerque donut maker had a rush of customers on her hands.   "It was insane," said Carrie Mettling, the co-owner of the city's Rebel Donut chain, which sold $10,000 worth of its blue frosted and crystal rock candy-slathered "blue sky" donuts in the hours before showtime.

Hip Hop Meets Southeast Asia Poetry in US Midwest Oct 1st 2013, 23:13, by webdesk@voanews.com (Richard Paul) What happens when hip-hop meets an ancient Southeast Asian poetry tradition in the American Midwest? Answer: an unusual collaboration between a young rapper and his grandmother. The American immigrant story usually follows some basic contours. The first generation holds on tight to their old world traditions. Their children try as hard as they possibly can to become "American." Then in the third generation, the grandchildren often turn back to learn from their grandparents' culture. At an ...

UN Meeting Looks to Turn Migration From Burden to Boon Oct 1st 2013, 20:54, by webdesk@voanews.com (Kate Woodsome) New United Nations figures say more people than ever are living in countries other than the one in which they were born.
