By Ross Colvin
HONOLULU (Reuters) - U.S. President-elect Barack Obama was without electricity for 12 hours at his vacation home on Oahu following a major blackout across Hawaii's most populous island, an aide said on Saturday.
The outage on Friday night left hundreds of thousands of people, including Obama and his family, in the dark as an electrical storm rolled over Oahu.

Versatile, legendary performer Eartha Kitt dead at 81
Thursday, December 25th 2008, 8:35 PM
Eartha Kitt, whose "Santa, Baby" remains the sultriest Christmas song ever recorded, died Thursday on a holiday she turned into something both naughty and nice.
Kitt, a versatile multi-media performer, engaging talk show regular and longtime human rights activist, was 81 and had been suffering from colon cancer.
Her publicist, Patty Freeman, said she died in New York with her daughter, Kitt Shapiro, at her side. Her last performance, a PBS special scheduled to air in February, was taped just six weeks ago.
Gunman dressed as Santa Claus was familiar face on block where eight died
7:49 PM, December 25, 2008
Bruce Jeffrey Pardo, 45, the suspect in the slayings of at least eight people in Covina on Christmas Eve, had recently divorced and is believed to have lost his job, according to The Times' Ari B. Bloomekatz and Joel Rubin. He apparently lived in Sylmar but returned to his old Covina neighborhood last night fully armed and wearing a Santa costume:
Court records show that his wife divorced him last September. He "was apparently going through a bad time in his marriage," Buchanan said. Neighbors said that until earlier this year, Pardo lived in the house with his ex-wife and her three children. They were often seen walking their dog through the neighborhood. On a blustery, overcast Christmas morning, Frank Castillo, 46, stood at the yellow police tape in Covina, trying unsuccessfully to obtain information about relatives he said had been at the party. Castillo said a family member had called to tell him that his former sister-in-law, Sylvia Castillo, who is her 30s, had died in the attack. His nephew, Sal Castillo, 19, whom family members called Baby Sal, and a niece, Selina Castillo, were also in the house, he said. "I want to make sure my nephew and niece are OK," he said, choking back tears.

Obama, family spend Christmas at vacation home, forgo church services
A spokesman says they don't want to disrupt a church community. The future first family continues to keep a low profile in Hawaii. Reporting from Honolulu -- President-elect Barack Obama and his family remained sequestered Thursday at their vacation compound on the eastern, windward coast of Oahu as Christians around the world attended Christmas services.
Obama has long cited the importance of religion in his life, but severed his relationship with his longtime Chicago church because of inflammatory remarks by its former pastor. Obama has not attended a public church service since before the Nov. 4 election.

Travel returning to normal at O'Hare
Thursday, December 25, 2008 | 9:29 PM
CHICAGO (WLS) -- There were no delays on Thursday night at O'Hare Airport although about a dozen flights were canceled.
Most service is returning to normal after days of aggravation for travelers trying to reach holiday destinations.
Hundreds of people had to camp out in the terminals Tuesday and Wednesday nights after hundreds of flights were grounded.
And last night, an American Airlines plane hit an icy patch and slid off the runway. No one was hurt and passengers were put on other flights.

Is Sleeping Good for the Heart?
Amid Holiday Rush, Getting Good Sleep May Help Your Heart, Research Suggests
Ah, the holidays.
Time to enjoy decorations and presents.
Just one extra hour of sleep a day appears to lower the risk of developing calcium deposits in the arteries, a precursor to heart disease.
(ABC News Photo Illustration)Time to relax around the Christmas dinner table with family and friends.
Time to catch up on sleep?
For those who are always looking for an excuse to sleep in, or sleep more, your search is not in vain: According to new research, hours spent sleeping protects against calcium deposits in the coronary arteries -- the deposits responsible for heart attacks.
A study published this week in the Journal of the American Medical Association by Christopher King and colleagues from the University of Chicago has found a relationship between sleep quantity (hours spent asleep) and calcium build up -- or calcification -- in the arteries that supply the heart muscle with blood.

U.S. outpaces Colo. in new jobless claims
Denver Business Journal - by Mark Harden
Initial claims for unemployment benefits in Colorado rose 44 percent in the week ending Dec. 13 from the same week a year ago, a lesser increase than the 60 percent national average, the Department of Labor reported Wednesday.
In Colorado, 5,917 new jobless-benefits claims were filed that week, versus 4,097 in the comparable week of 2007. The pace of new claims in the state declined slightly from the week ending Dec. 6.
The Labor Department also reported Wednesday that initial claims for unemployment benefits rose to a seasonally adjusted 586,000 in the week ending Dec. 20, a higher level than economists had expected.

Cheney Defends His Tenure, Adminstration's Actions
Sunday, December 21, 2008; 12:37 PM
Vice President Cheney offered an unabashed defense of the Bush administration's claims of broad executive powers today, mocking criticism from Vice President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr. and saying the president "doesn't have to check with anybody" before launching a nuclear attack.
In an interview with Chris Wallace on "Fox News Sunday," Cheney fired back at Biden's contention that he was probably "the most dangerous vice president" in U.S. history. He also ridiculed Biden for mistakenly citing Article I of the U.S. Constitution, rather than Article II, in talking about executive branch powers during an October debate.
"If he wants to diminish the office of the vice president, that's obviously his call," Cheney said of Biden. "President-elect Obama will decide what he wants in a vice president and apparently, from the way they're talking about it, he does not expect him to have as consequential a role as I have had during my time."

Obama's Choice of Pastor Warren a 'Mistake,' Barney Frank Says
By Justin Blum
Dec. 21 (Bloomberg) -- President-elect Barack Obama shouldn't have selectedRick Warren to deliver the inaugural invocation because the evangelical pastor has made offensive comments about gays, said Representative Barney Frank.
"Giving that kind of mark of approval and honor to someone who has frankly spoken in ways I and many others have found personally very offensive, I thought that was a mistake for the president-elect to do," said Frank, a Massachusetts Democrat, today on CNN's "Late Edition."
Frank, who is openly gay, made the comments after Obama stood by his selection of Warren for the Jan. 20 inauguration. Obama, speaking at a Dec. 18 news conference, said he doesn't share Warren's views on gay rights and wants to create an atmosphere "where we can disagree without being disagreeable and then focus on those things that we hold in common as Americans."

Grand Theft Auto IV THE video game industry has never been more reliable in producing high-quality mass entertainment for a variety of audiences with a variety of tastes.

BAGHDAD (AFP) — The family of an Iraqi journalist who threw his shoes at US President George W. Bush demonstrated for a second day on Saturday to demand his release from custody. Muntazer al-Zaidi's brother, Durgham, told AFP that the family intended to continue its protest in a park near the central Baghdad government compound where he is being held around the clock until he is freed. "We will stay here until he is released even if the military tries to remove us," Durgham said. By Brian K. Sullivan and Dan Hart Dec. 20 (Bloomberg) -- New England residents may want to keep their shovels handy after digging out from a snowstorm that blanketed the region yesterday and delayed hundreds of flights across the country.
