WASHINGTON (AP) ? A U.S. official said Monday that the National Security Agency did not monitor phone conversations between a New Zealand journalist and his Afghan sources, following claims by the journalist that his reporting was monitored by the U.S. intelligence programs revealed by NSA leaker Edward Snowden on behalf of New Zealand's military.
Officials in the intelligence community and experts said if any surveillance was done, it was more likely that his phone calls were caught up by standard military intelligence monitoring of enemy communications in war zones.
The Obama administration brushed off new allegations of NSA surveillance overreach, this time focusing on freelance reporter Jon Stephenson, who was in Kabul, Afghanistan, working for American news service McClatchy and other media outlets when his phone records were reportedly seized.
It was the latest revelation in the ongoing debate over government snooping since Snowden in June revealed two top secret U.S. programs that monitor millions of Americans' telephone and Internet communications each day.
In a short statement to The Associated Press, the U.S. government official said NSA did not target Stephenson or collect his phone records. A U.S. intelligence official suggested that any surveillance could have been run by the Defense Intelligence Agency, which oversees war zone intelligence missions. Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the secret program. The DIA did not comment.
On Sunday, the Star-Times newspaper of New Zealand reported that the New Zealand military conspired with U.S. spy agencies to monitor Stephenson's communications with sources in Afghanistan. New Zealand officials denied the new allegations.
But experts and former intelligence officials said if Stephenson's phone records were collected, they would have been gathered in a military intelligence sweep that is shared among allies ? and has for years monitored most communications in war zones, where there is little expectation of privacy.
New Zealand withdrew its small contingent of roughly 150 troops from Afghanistan earlier this year. But the country's Government Communications Security Bureau, which is New Zealand's NSA equivalent, would have been included in an allied intelligence gathering and reporting system in Afghanistan, said Canadian intelligence expert Wesley Wark.
Wark said the New Zealand security bureau also would have been able to access a secret system once code-named "Stoneghost," which allows it to share and draw from intelligence reports compiled from four other counties ? the U.S., U.K., Canada, and Australia. Stoneghost was one portal through which the so-called Five Eyes allies, the U.S., U.K, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, shared data.
"It is entirely possible that New Zealand intelligence ran its own surveillance operation against Stephenson on the basis of access to a common allied intelligence pool in Afghanistan without necessarily requiring any direct U.S. input or involvement," said Wark, a national security professor at University of Ottawa.
He added: "It would not have been beyond the means of a small New Zealand contingent to do this on their own."
New Zealand Prime Minister John Key said Monday it's possible that reporters could get caught in surveillance nets when the U.S. spies on enemy combatants. But generally, those nations do not spy on each other's citizens and residents.
The NSA would not spy on citizens of another ally in that group, especially if it were to circumvent that ally's own espionage laws, said former Michigan congressman and House intelligence committee chairman Pete Hoekstra.
What's picked up in war zones is considered fair game, however, and such surveillance has been a priority in Afghanistan as American troops prepare to withdraw in 2014. NATO and U.S. officials depend on the intelligence systems to detect and disrupt al-Qaida and the Taliban plots against the Afghan government and foreign forces.
American troops who specialize in intelligence gathering routinely tap directly into local cellphone company servers, or conduct technical surveillance though a number of electronic listening devices that are placed on jets, drones, ships and satellites, according to a current U.S. military official and a former one. Both spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the classified surveillance program.
Each branch of the U.S. military has its own signals intelligence unit, including Task Force Odin, an Army aviation battalion created in Iraq to spot bomb makers, planters and plotters. The Odin unit's skills and some of its personnel were moved to Afghanistan ? but likely under a new name ? after it helped military counterterrorism units to track al-Qaida and other extremists.
In Iraq, where the war zone monitoring was first perfected, the cellphone metadata and an unknown number of phone calls were recorded and stored, said the former U.S. military official. When a terrorist suspect was captured or killed, their cellphones and other possessions were examined. Any phone numbers that could be retrieved were run through a U.S. telephone database, and relevant records and phone conversations retrieved.
U.S. troops and contractors also are told their own satellite and internet communications likely will be intercepted by their own nation's counterintelligence personnel, and checked for possible breaches of secrecy like the release of classified information, the officials said.
While the U.S. could legally monitor a foreign national civilian in a war zone, it would be unlikely. Wark said that it's possible that Washington nonetheless could have targeted Stephenson, given the breadth of U.S. information-gathering abilities. But he called that "rare," saying the U.S. generally would have needed to have a direct national interest in Stephenson to devote assets against him.
But if Stephenson was calling Afghans who are suspected of ties to militants, and who in turn were being monitored by U.S. or NATO spy services, that conversation could be recorded, transcribed and distributed. Usually, names of people who are not suspected of wrongdoing are deleted, according to one former administration official, and one former intelligence official.
The same practice applies to U.S. journalists, if they are talking to foreigners being monitored by the NSA in the U.S., the officials said.

"Domestic steel pipe producers are being crippled by an onslaught of foreign competitors illegally dumping imports in the United States," Senator Sherrod Brown said, days after the Commerce Department launched a probe against South Korea, India, Vietnam, the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey and Ukraine of unfair and illegal trade practices.
Brown and Senator Rob Portman on Monday called on the US International Trade Commission (ITC) to protect domestic producers of Oil Country Tubular Goods (OCTG) from foreign competitors that use unfair and illegal trade practices.
"The International Trade Commission must commit to Ohio's workers and businesses and crack down on countries that sell their products at unfair prices. As our trade deficit widens, leveling the playing field is the only way to protect local jobs, and in the future, create them," Browne said after sending the joint letter to US ITC.
Noting that Ohio-based companies that produce Oil Country Tubular Goods (OCTG) support many good-paying jobs in the state, Portman said if the ITC does not stand up for these goods manufactured in US and punish the foreign companies who are flooding US markets with unfairly imported cheap products, businesses and thousands of American workers will be at risk.
"American manufactured goods must be allowed to compete with their global competitors on a level playing field," Portman said. OCTG are used for domestic oil exploration, particularly in the shale industry, and are produced in Ohio by companies including US Steel in Lorain, Wheatland Tube Company in Warren, Vallourec Star in Youngstown and TMK IPSCO in Brookfield.
Each is among the plaintiffs accusing South Korea, India, Vietnam, the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey and Ukraine of unfair and illegal trade practices. The two Senators said OCTG imports from these countries have increased from 840,000 net tons in 2010 to more than 1,770,000 net tons in 2012, with the number continuing to rise.
Despite historically high level of demand for steel pipe, its domestic industry in United States has deteriorated due to imports, which data shows, have consistently and substantially undersold the market.
This has resulted in petitions that allege dumping margins of at least 30 percent, and in most cases, significantly more, the lawmakers said.

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe?s pro-growth administration has earned itself another gold star: the lowest unemployment rate in nearly five years.
Yet economists say the real measure of Mr. Abe?s success will depend more on whether an improvement in the jobs market will translate into higher wages and the greater spending needed to help put the world?s third-largest economy on the path towards long-term expansion.
The unemployed made up just 3.9% of the Japan?s work force in June after seasonal adjustment. That is the lowest level since October 2008, before the global financial crisis hit Japan?s economy, a government official briefing reporters said.
Economists say wages could rise if the number of those without a job keeps falling because companies will have to pay more to attract a shrinking pool of job-seekers. That would in turn put more money in consumer?s wallets, and support spending that could power growth. As household consumption makes up nearly 60% of total annual output, it is a major driver of economic growth.
But they say the jobless figure will have to fall to between 3.0% and 3.5% for that to happen, a feat easier said than done. The last time Japan?s unemployment rate touched 3.5% was in 1997.
Hidenobu Tokuda, an economist at Mizuho Research Institute, said non-manufacturing firms are likely already scrounging for workers, but that there are still too many workers looking for too few jobs in Japan?s traditional engine of growth, the manufacturing sector, where production is still recovering.
?It?s hard to envision a quick recovery,? he said.
Taro Saito, an economist at NLI Research Institute, said a sales tax hike due in 2014 could also delay a recovery in the jobs market and an improvement in base pay.
?The sales tax hike will make the unemployment rate tick up temporarily as companies scale back due to a drop in demand,? he said. ?Wages will likely rise due to higher overtime pay and bonuses, but those are only a small part of overall compensation, and it could take years for overall wages to improve? thanks to a stronger labor market.

BAGHDAD ? ?A wave of over a dozen car bombings hit central and southern Iraq during morning rush hour on Monday, officials said, killing at least 51 people in the latest coordinated attack by insurgents determined to undermine the government.
The blasts, which wounded scores more, are part of a months-long surge of attacks that is reviving fears of a return to the widespread sectarian bloodshed that pushed the country to the brink of civil war after the 2003 U.S.-led invasion. Suicide attacks, car bombings and other violence have killed more than 3,000 people since April, including more than 500 since the start of July, according to an Associated Press count.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for Monday's attacks, but they bore the hallmarks of al-Qaida's Iraqi arm. The group, known as the Islamic State of Iraq, frequently sets off such coordinated blasts in an effort to break Iraqis' confidence in the Shiite-led government.
Eight police officers said a total of 12 parked car bombs hit markets and parking lots in predominantly Shiite neighborhoods of Baghdad within one hour. They say the deadliest was in the eastern Shiite neighborhood of Sadr City, where two separate explosions killed nine civilians and wounded 33 others.
Ambulances rushed to the scene where rescuers and police were removing the charred and twisted remains of the car bombs from the bloodstained pavement. The force of the two explosions lightly damaged nearby houses and shops.
Taxi driver Ali Khalil was passing nearby when the first bomb exploded.
"I heard a thunderous explosion that shook my car and broke the rear window," the 36-year old Khalil said. "I immediately pulled over and didn't know what to do while seeing people running or lying on the ground," he added.
He brought two of the wounded to a nearby hospital before heading back to his home to stay indoors the rest the day. Like many Iraqis, he blamed political infighting and incapable security forces for the deteriorated security situation.
Two other separate car bombs went off in the northern Hurriyah neighborhood, killing nine bystanders and wounding 29 others. In the busy northern Kazimiyah neighborhood, another parked car bomb killed four civilians and wounded 12.
In the southwestern neighborhood of Bayaa, four civilians were killed and 15 wounded in another car bomb explosion. In western Baghdad in the neighborhood of Shurta, two other people were killed and 14 wounded.
In the southern Abu Disheer area, four civilians were killed and 17 wounded. Another car bomb struck in the northwestern Tobchi district, killing three and wounding ten others.
Five more people were killed and 44 others wounded in the southwestern Risala neighborhood, the northern Shaab neighborhood and in the town of Mahmoudiya, about 20 miles south of Baghdad.
The wave of bombings also extended to Iraq's majority-Shiite south.
Back-to-back explosions by two parked car bombs in an outdoor market and near a gathering of construction workers killed seven civilians and wounded 35 others in the city of Kut, 100 miles southeast of Baghdad.
And in the oil-rich city of Basra in southern Iraq, four other people were killed and five wounded when a parked car bomb ripped through a market. Basra is 340 miles southeast of Baghdad.
Nine health officials confirmed the casualty figures. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to release information.
Few hours after the explosions, acting U.N. envoy to Iraq Gyorgy Busztin expressed concern over "the heightened level of violence which carries the danger that the country falls back into sectarian strife."
"Iraq is bleeding from random violence, which sadly reached record heights during the Holy month of Ramadan," added Busztin, referring to the dawn-to-dusk fasting Islamic holy month. He called for immediate and decisive action to stop the "senseless bloodshed."
The violence surged after an April crackdown by security forces on a Sunni protest camp in the northern town of Hawija that killed 44 civilians and a member of the security forces, according to United Nations estimates. The bloodshed is linked to rising sectarian divisions between Iraq's Sunni and Shiite as well as friction between Arabs and Kurds, dampening hopes for a return to normalcy nearly two years after U.S. forces withdrew from the country.

A member of Congress gave birth to the first-known child survivor of a rare fetal condition, known as Potter's Syndrome.
Rep. Jamie Herrera Beutler, R-Wash., delivered her daughter, Abigail, prematurely on July 15, her office announced Monday. Because of weeks of experimental treatment from doctors at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, the child was able to survive the normally fatal condition.
Potter's Syndrome is associated with a lack of amniotic fluid in the womb, which prevents the development of lungs, thereby hampering the development of other parts of the child. Because of this, many fetuses with this condition have clubbed feet and undeveloped lungs. To make up for the lack of amniotic fluid, doctors injected saline solution into the womb once a week for five weeks.
"There was no way to know if this treatment would be effective or to track lung development, but with hearts full of hope, we put our trust in the Lord and continued to pray for a miracle," Herrera Beutler, 34, said in a statement.
And it looks as if this worked. Over a period of weeks, Herrera Beutler was able to see the fetus develop properly.
However, the child was still born with no working kidneys, and weighing just 2 pounds, 12 ounces. Although she breathes on her own, she must receive dialysis treatments until she can get a kidney transplant. She is currently at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital at Stanford University undergoing treatment.
"Although Abigail will need ongoing care after she comes home, we have every expectation?that she will lead a full and healthy life," Herrera Beutler said.
Herrera Beutler announced in June that her child was suffering from the syndrome.

BELFAST (Reuters) - When U.S. President Barack Obama visited Northern Ireland before the G8 summit in June, he hailed its extraordinary progress in the 15 years since a peace agreement to end three decades of what locals call "The Troubles".
On the other side of Belfast the next day, a petrol bomb thrown over a fence dividing Protestant from Catholic communities exploded next to a four-year-old girl playing in the street - just one example of sporadic violence still haunting the British province.
The region of 1.8 million people is striving to heal a sectarian divide that mapped onto a deadly political rift between "loyalists" supporting the union with Britain and "nationalists" seeking unification with the Republic of Ireland to the south.
With more than 3,500 people killed during 30 years of paramilitary violence, deep-rooted enmity between the communities still leads to outbreaks of unrest - the latest around Protestant street parades that take place every July.
"It's like an earthquake zone," said Naomi Long, a lawmaker in the London parliament and deputy leader of the non-sectarian Alliance Party. "You have these divided communities and they rub along against each other, and suddenly something erupts."
In Belfast, symbols of the divide are inescapable, from the British flags flying from loyalist houses and the "peace walls" that separate Protestant from Catholic areas, to the hundreds of murals on the homes of both communities, some depicting balaclava-clad gunmen. (http://www.belfast-murals.co.uk/slideshow.html)
Hailed by London and international policymakers as an example of conflict resolution and economic progress, Northern Ireland has made great strides since the 1998 Good Friday Agreement. But with traditional heavy industry in decline, it remains an economic laggard.
While data does not break out total output for the province, several indicators show it trailing the rest of Britain. With 3 percent of the UK's population, Northern Ireland has its lowest labour productivity, slowest growth in disposable income and largest proportion of people with no qualifications, according to statistics office data.
The province gets about 10 billion pounds, half its total public sector spending, through an annual block grant from London. About a third of the population is employed in the public sector, the highest level in the UK.
Peace has brought more investment in areas such as technology, film making and tourism thanks to relatively low labour costs, though multinationals prefer Ireland, where corporation tax is 12.5 percent, versus 23 percent in the north.
That has helped bring unemployment down to 7.8 percent, about the UK average yet still close to a 15-year high.
"Peace is the obvious improvement - for the first time ever, we have a whole generation who didn't experience the Troubles," said Ann McGregor, head of Northern Ireland's Chamber of Commerce. "We still need to create more jobs."
The province still carries a psychological burden from its troubled history, too. It had the highest rate of post-traumatic stress among 30 countries surveyed by the University of Ulster, at 9 percent, and its health services pay twice as much per capita for antidepressants as they do in England.
TROUBLE ON THE MARCH
For decades the traditional Protestant marches in July have sparked violent clashes, as Catholics see them as provocation when they pass the areas where they live. The peace deal has not stopped this annual dose of bad publicity for the province.
This month, rioters with bare chests threw petrol bombs, bottles and fireworks at police, who responded with water cannon and rubber bullets, after authorities stopped Protestant marchers from following a traditional route in Belfast.
Most of the trouble was away from commercial areas, but images of riots still hurt business and tourism, which Northern Ireland has sought to boost with a 97 million pound museum at the shipyard that built the Titanic. Its second city Londonderry - nationalists scorn the 17th-century addition of the London prefix and know it as Derry - is also hoping for gains from its designation as the 2013 UK City of Culture, a scheme to generate social and economic benefits through the promotion of cultural events.
The business community focuses on the improvement since 1998, with Belfast's city centre - once a dead zone - now thriving and the number of foreign investment projects jumping 41 percent in the last year. But it remains exasperated by the sporadic sectarian trouble.
"Is this going back to where we were? That's certainly not the case; these are isolated areas, but it is damaging," said Nigel Smyth, who heads the local branch of the CBI industry association. "A negative image is a negative image, and people relate that to Northern Ireland."
During weeks of violence early this year, hotels reported sharp drops in occupancy rates and retailers a 30 percent fall in sales. With marchers now gathering each Saturday on the edge of the nationalist Ardoyne area, butcher Mark Maguire reckons it is costing half his shop's weekly business.
"Saturday is our busiest day, and there's no one coming in at all," said Maguire, wearing matching apron and hat behind the meat counter. "We open up, but it all just dies away. I wish they'd stop."

Pope Francis at World Youth Day. Riding an open Pope mobile, Pope Francis greets Catholic faithful who waited for him for hours at Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil on Thursday, July 25. Pope Francis is on the fourth day of his week-long visit for World Youth Day. Reuters/Ricardo Moraes
RIO DE JANEIRO - Pope Francis, in a stunningly candid assessment of the state of the Catholic Church, said on Saturday it should look in the mirror and ask why so many people are leaving the faith of their fathers.On the penultimate day of his trip to Brazil, Francis delivered a long address to the country's bishops in which he suggested elements of what could become a blueprint for stopping what he called an "exodus."
"I would like all of us to ask ourselves today: are we still a Church capable of warming hearts?" he said in a speech remarkable for its frankness about the hemorrhaging of the Church in many countries.
The Argentine pope, who is in Rio for a Catholic international jamboree known as World Youth Day, referred to what he called "the mystery of those who leave the Church" because they think it "can no longer offer them anything meaningful or important."
The Church has been losing members throughout the world to secularism and to other religions, including in Latin America, where evangelical groups have won over many converts.
He acknowledged that many people see the Church as a "relic of the past," too caught up in itself, and a "prisoner of its own rigid formulas."
While he said the Church "must remain faithful" to its religious doctrine, it had to be closer to the people and their real problems.
"Today, we need a Church capable of walking at people's side, of doing more than simply listening to them," he said.
"At times we lose people because they don't understand what we are saying, because we have forgotten the language of simplicity and import an intellectualism foreign to our people," he said.
In Brazil, the number of Catholics has dwindled rapidly in the decades since its once-rural population moved increasingly to major cities, where modern consumer culture has overtaken more provincial mores and where Protestant denominations, aggressively courting followers in urban outskirts and shantytowns, have won many converts.
"We need a Church capable of restoring citizenship to her many children who are journeying, as it were, in an exodus," he said.
The address to the bishops complemented an earlier homily in Rio's cathedral, where he urged priests worldwide to leave their comfortable surroundings to go out and serve the poor and needy.
"We cannot keep ourselves shut up in parishes, in our communities, when so many people are waiting for the Gospel," he said in the sermon of a Mass in Rio's cathedral.
Since his election in March as the first non-European pope in 1,300 years, Francis has been prodding priests, nuns and bishops to think less about their careers in the Church and listen more to the cries of those who are hungry to fill both material and spiritual needs.
"It is not enough simply to open the door in welcome, but we must go out through that door and meet the people!" he said.
'Slum cardinal'
Known as the "slum cardinal" in his native Argentina because of his austere lifestyle and visits to poor areas, Francis made a clarion call to clergy to take risks and go out among the faithful who need them most.
"It is in the 'favelas' and 'villas miseria' that one must go to seek and to serve Christ," he said, quoting the late Mother Teresa of Calcutta and using the terms used in Brazil and Argentina for shantytowns.
Francis has set a new tone in the Vatican, rejecting the lush papal residence his predecessors used in the Apostolic Palace and living instead in a small suite in a Vatican guest house, and often eating in the common dining room.
The pope spoke as hundreds of thousands of young people were converging on Rio's famed Copacabana beach for an all night prayer vigil ahead of concluding ceremonies on Sunday, when he returns to Rome.
Earlier, in a talk at Rio's theater, he said leaders must address the issues raised in protests in Brazil, saying dialogue was the only way to resolve the issues.
Latin America's largest nation has been rocked by protests against corruption, the misuse of public money and the high cost of living. Most of the protesters are young.
He urged leaders not to remain deaf to "the outcry, the call for justice (that) continues to be heard even today" and, in an apparent reference to corruption, spoke of "the task of rehabilitating politics." ? Reuters

PANMUNJOM, North Korea (AP) ? Some Americans call it the "Forgotten War," a 1950s conflict fought in a far-off country and so painful that even survivors have tried to erase their memories of it.
The North Koreans, however, have not forgotten. Sixty years after the end of the Korean War, the country is marking the milestone anniversary with a massive celebration Saturday for a holiday it calls "Victory Day" ? even though the two sides only signed a truce, and have yet to negotiate a peace treaty.
Signs and banners reading "Victory" line the streets of Pyongyang, the North Korean capital. The events are expected to culminate with a huge military parade and fireworks, one of the biggest extravaganzas in this impoverished country since leader Kim Jong Un took power in late 2011.
Here at the border in Panmunjom, the war never ended. Both sides of the Demilitarized Zone are heavily guarded, making it the world's most fortified border, and dividing countless families with sisters and brothers, fathers and mothers, on the other side. The North Koreans consider the presence of 28,500 U.S. troops in South Korea a continued occupation.
In some ways, war today is being waged outside the confines of the now-outdated armistice signed 60 years ago.
The disputed maritime border off the west coast of the Koreas is a hot spot for clashes. In 2010, a South Korean warship exploded, killing 46 sailors; Seoul blamed a North Korean torpedo. Later that year, a North Korean artillery attack on a front-line South Korean island killed four people, two of them civilians.
Earlier this year, Kim Jong Un enshrined the pursuit of nuclear weapons as a national goal, calling it a defensive measure against the U.S. military threat. In recent months, the warfare has extended into cyberspace, with both Koreas accusing the other of mounting crippling hacking attacks that have taken down government websites in the North and paralyzed online commerce in the South.
Sixty years on, as both Koreas and the United States mark the anniversary Saturday, there is still no peace on the Korean Peninsula.

The two sides don't even agree on who started the war.
Outside the North, historians say it was North Korean troops who charged across the border at the 38th parallel and launched an assault at 4 a.m. on June 25, 1950.
North Korea agrees that war broke out at 4 a.m. ? but says U.S. troops attacked first. A photo offered as proof at a Pyongyang war museum shows U.S. soldiers advancing, rifles cocked, as they run past the 38th parallel.
"The real history is that the U.S. started the war on June 25, 1950," Ri Su Jong, a 21-year-old guide at a flower show in Pyongyang, said Tuesday. "They first attacked our country, and we quickly counterattacked."
Ri, whose grandfathers both fought in the war, said she was taught that the North Koreans marched into Seoul three days later, "liberating" South Korea from U.S. forces. A panoramic diorama at the war museum shows soldiers hoisting the North Korean flag in a sea of fire and destruction.
As North Korean troops advanced further south, the U.S. retaliated with bombing campaigns that left both Seoul and Pyongyang in rubble.
"The U.S enemy engineered the war, boasting of the advantage of their air power, flying normally 500 or 700 flights, sometimes up to 1,000 flights a day, both on the front and in the rear," said North Korean Maj. Gen. Kim Sung Un, a war veteran who is now 84. "All the factories and workplaces ... were reduced to ashes."
Then came the counterattack.
Dick Bonelli was a 19-year-old from the Bronx, a self-professed troublemaker, who was shipped off with the U.S. Marines to fight in a country he never knew existed. He arrived in September 1950 with the amphibious assault known in as the "Inchon Landing," the surprise attack that helped the U.S.-led U.N. forces push the North Koreans back.
Bonelli later took part in one of the most costly fights of the Korean War: the 17-day winter campaign in the mountainous region of the North then known by its Japanese name, the Chosin Reservoir. Several thousand were killed in combat, and thousands more died of frostbite.
"I tried for 30 to 40 years to forget it all," Bonelli said in Pyongyang on Thursday, an American flag pinned to his blazer. "Who wants to remember that? It's war. It was terrible."
He's back in North Korea for the first time since 1950. His hope is to revisit Fox Hill, the remote spot that he guarded that first cold winter of the war. Tears in his eyes, he called it an emotional journey to a place that he tried for decades to forget.

How the main players in the war will mark Saturday's anniversary is a telling indication of how each country considers the conflict.
North Korea is treating it as a celebration, an occasion to rally support for the country's leader and draw attention to the division of the Korean Peninsula.
In South Korea, it's a day of remembrance. For the government, it's a day of thanks to the 16 U.N. nations that came to South Korea's defense during the 1950-53 war. For many, it's also a day of sorrow as they remember family members left behind in the North, forever divided from their loved ones.
In Washington, President Barack Obama on Thursday declared July 27 National Korean War Veterans Armistice Day. He paid tribute in his proclamation to the veterans who fought to "defend a country they never knew and a people they never met." He is to speak Saturday at the Korean War Veterans Memorial.

Back in 1953, the architects of the armistice that took two years to negotiate were so sure the truce would be temporary that they cobbled together corrugated sheds to serve as conference halls in just a handful of days.
Sixty years later, those once-temporary buildings are still standing. On the North Korean side, the drafty building that served as the venue for armistice talks is now the "peace pagoda," a popular stop on a fledgling tourist trail from Pyongyang. A tattered version of the armistice agreement and the U.N. flag are displayed.
The sheds straddling the border where the two sides sometimes meet are still called T1, T2 and T3: the "T'' stands for "temporary."
Peace is up to Washington, North Korean Lt. Col. Nam Dong Ho told The Associated Press recently.
"The division of the Korean Peninsula is less an issue between the North and South and more of an issue between North Korea and the U.S," he said. "Last time, we negotiated an armistice agreement. But next time, we will bring the U.S. to its knees to sign a letter of surrender."
Ri, the flower show guide, also blames the U.S.: "Of course we want peace. ... But the American imperialists keep provoking us with their hostile policy."
The visiting U.S. veteran, Bonelli, says simply that a peace treaty is long overdue.
"It's ridiculous to have an armistice this long and not to sit down, break bread and make peace," he said. "The future is about the children. Let's stop it."

The Church of England is to investigate its stake in a US venture capital fund that has invested millions of dollars into payday lender Wonga.?
The link was exposed by the Financial Times after the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Reverend Justin Welby, said the Church planned to "compete" the payday lender "out of existence".
The Financial Times found that Church of England's ?5bn pension fund holds an investment in Wonga backer, Accel Partners.
The Church of England's investment policy excludes companies engaged in payday loans. ?
A statement issued by Lambeth Palace said the Wonga link represented a "serious inconsistency of which we were unaware".?
"We will be asking the Assets Committee of the Church Commissioners to investigate how this has occurred and to review the holding in this pooled investment vehicle," the spokesperson said.
"We will also be requesting the Church Commissions to investigate whether there are any other inconsistencies as normally all investment policies are reviewed by the Ethical Investment Advisory Group (EIAG)."
In an interview with Total Politics published this week, the Archbishop said he had met with Wonga boss Errol Damelin and told him: "We're not in the business of trying to legislation you out of existence, we're trying to compete you out of existence."

Google recently released Universal Analytics to the general public after several months in beta.?
Google recently released Universal Analytics to the general public after several months in beta. To the untrained user, Universal Analytics might seem very similar to Google Analytics. However, there are some significant additions, including:
It's been said that Google's Universal Analytics will change the way businesses use data. Any time such a bold claim is made, we should be wary if the promise is more than reality can deliver.
It never hurts to be a little bit skeptical. Google Universal Analytics hasn't been quite as overhyped as some other recent software changes. In this case, we are actually talking about a huge leap forward for businesses' ability to get a holistic view of their efforts through Google's Measurement Protocol.
The drawback is there may still be a considerable amount of effort required to integrate various business systems and other sources of data with Universal Analytics.
The benefit is there is now a standard interface to do this. Let?s face it: It is hard to beat "free." Google?s model of offering enterprise-class tools to the masses at no cost.
This type of data integration has been possible for years, but primarily through very expensive proprietary tools that have a large upfront cost and-or licensing fee. The fact this is now available on a free tool is a huge win for businesses.

WASHINGTON (AP) ? The Obama administration will tell lawmakers Thursday that it won't declare Egypt's government overthrow a coup, U.S. officials said, allowing the United States to continue providing $1.5 billion in annual military and economic aid to the Arab world's most populous country.
William Burns, the State Department's No. 2 official, will hold closed-doors briefings with members of the House and Senate just a day after Washington delayed delivery of four F-16 fighter jets to Egypt. It was the first U.S. action since the military ousted Mohammed Morsi as president, imprisoned him and other Muslim Brotherhood members and suspended the constitution earlier this month.
The administration has been forced into difficult contortions to justify not declaring a coup d'etat, which would prompt the automatic suspension of American assistance programs under U.S. law. Washington fears that halting such funding could imperil programs that help to secure Israel's border and fight weapons smuggling into the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip, among other things seen as critical to U.S. national security.
It's unclear what specific arguments it will present Thursday, but the officials said Burns will explain how the administration has yet to make any coup determination and that it doesn't plan to do so in the future as Egypt moves to restore civilian governance and hold new democratic elections. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to speak publicly ahead of the private meetings.
Many from both parties in Congress sympathize with the administration's view and the need to back a military that has safeguarded Egypt's peace with Israel for three decades. Still, some across the political spectrum disagree. Republicans from libertarian Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky to hawkish Sen. John McCain of Arizona, and Democrats such as Sen. Carl Levin of Michigan, have demanded the coup law be enforced.
The law stipulates, however, that it's President Barack Obama and his administration's decision on how to characterize Morsi's July 3 overthrow.
White House and State Department officials pointed shortly afterward to the large anti-Morsi protests that preceded the military's action and said Morsi's Islamist-led government, while democratically elected, was taking Egypt down an increasingly undemocratic path.
Since then, the president and his national security team have tried to balance support for the military's proposed return to constitutional rule and democratic elections alongside concern over the crackdown on key Morsi allies. The delay of the fighter jets, scheduled for delivery this month, was the first direct action the U.S. took since the upheaval.
However, the Pentagon said this week the U.S. was proceeding as planned with this year's joint military exercises. The biennial maneuvers were canceled in 2011 following the revolution that ousted President Hosni Mubarak. During Mubarak's three decades in power, Egypt was America's premier ally in the Arab world and at the heart of its efforts to fight Islamic terrorism, roll back Iranian influence across the Middle East and promote peace among Israel and its Muslim neighbors.

The Washington Free Beacon reports that House Oversight Committee Chairman Darryl Issa has revealed that Energy Department officials have been prohibited from speaking to congressional investigators in a probe of the department?s illicit hiring practices. This certainly comes as no surprise from an administration that has a policy instructing federal employees to snitch on each other.
Rep. Darrell Issa (R., Calif.), chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, revealed in a?letter?obtained by theWashington Free Beacon?that the deputy secretary of energy issued the gag order following a scathing inspector general report last week.
The report revealed that the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA), a division of the Department of Energy (DOE), had violated DOE hiring guidelines in ways that disadvantaged military veterans.
BPA employees who cooperated with the IG?s investigation, the report found, were fired, suspended, or otherwise sanctioned.
Issa revealed in a Wednesday, July 17, letter that Deputy Secretary of Energy Daniel Poneman ?verbally instructed Elliot Mainzer, the individual [Poneman] chose to serve as acting administrator of BPA, that no BPA employees were to talk with anyone regarding these allegations, including congressional investigators.?
Issa suggested that such a gag order could be illegal.
?Obstructing a congressional investigation is a crime,? he noted. ?Additionally, denying or interfering with employees? rights to furnish information to Congress is against the law.? (Read More)

HUBER HEIGHTS, Ohio (WDTN) - An alligator found living in the basement of a Huber Heights home is now living out its life in Florida.
The Croc Encounters told 2 NEWS Wednesday that the gator is now housed at its Tampa location.
They say the alligator has put on some weight, but is still battling with jaw and head deformities.
The reptile is in an outdoor habitat at the sanctuary that also works to educate people about ownership of exotic animals.
Croc Encounters expects the 15-year-old gator from Huber Heights to make a full recovery.

Striving to achieve greater financial and strategic flexibility, Vattenfall in a statement said: "The new structure will allow the regions to focus on their respective core issues and will open up opportunities for risk-sharing in Vattenfall's continental operations over time." The split will come into effect in 2014.
"Vattenfall is also writing down 29.7 billion of the value of the company's assets as a consequence of market development and higher business risks."
About half the impairment is related to coal and gas power plants in the Netherlands.
Like other European energy producers, Vattenfall is affected by the increasingly gloomy market prospects.
"The company now makes the assessment that the market will not recover in the foreseeable future," the company stated, adding that the writedown would not affect the company's cash flow.
The writedowns have been made across its assets, shearing 14.5 billion kronor from the value of its gas and hard coal-fired power plants in the Netherlands, 4.1 billion off hard coal-fired power plants in Germany, and 2.5 billion off combined heat and power plants in the Nordic region. Another 8.6 billion has been lobbed off other components to the business.
"The impairments are significant and this is obviously a difficult task. But this is the reality we are facing and we have to react according to what we know about the marketplace today," said Vattenfall's Chairman Lars G Nordstrm and CEO Oystein Loseth.
"We have to take steps that we deem are necessary to ensure in the long term a sustainable and strong Vattenfall."
The company also announced that it would continue its cost-cutting and streamlining, while putting its investments on a diet - reducing them to 105 billion kronor from 135 billion up until 2017.
"Investment projects already approved will be prioritized with a continued focus on renewable energy."
Swedish commentators reacted with shock to news of the writedown, though the company stressed that it was still operating at a profit.
The business daily Dagens Industri stated that the decision would axe 24.5 billion kronor of profits, due to the tax implications of the writedown.
The leader of the Swedish opposition has urged the government to appoint a crisis commission to probe energy giant Vattenfall's purchase of Nuon, which after Tuesday's writedown is worth 42 percent of its original price.
The government, on its part, said it was too early to assess the Dutch outfit's true value and whether it was a sound investment on the part of Vattenfall to buy it in 2009.
"With the information that we have today, it is clear that it was a very high price. Whether it was a good or a bad deal, however, that we'll have to evaluate in the long term," Sweden's Financial Markets Minister Peter Norman told the media on Tuesday.
"The price was, however, at that point, in line with other business deals, and was backed up by external reviewers."
The 2009 purchase made Vattenfall one of the three biggest electricity generators in the Netherlands. But three years on, most of Tuesday's writedown arose from the company's Nuon operations, where many observers have said it overpaid for its Dutch subsidiary.
Norman underlined that the government had nothing to do with the board of the state-owned company's decision to buy the Dutch power company, although credit raters Moody's noted in 2011 that "the Swedish state exercises long-term active ownership over the company and views value creation as a paramount goal for Vattenfall".
Norman pointed out that then Enterprise Minister Maud Olofsson had decided against ordering a review of the board's decision. In addition she had opted not discuss the issue with other cabinet colleagues or with the other leaders of the four-party ruling coalition.
Social Democrat leader Stefan Lfven said Tuesday's writedown made the need to properly investigate the decision-making process more pressing than ever.
"They are incredibly big writedowns, so of course it's serious, and the question of Nuon becomes relevant again," Lofven told the TT news agency.
"It's obvious to me that the government is trying to skirt responsibility, they're trying to dodge the question and have tried to put the lid on the whole thing. But it is the government, and by extension the head of the government, which is responsible for this deal."
Lofven said Norman's claim that the rest of the government had not been consulted appeared to contradict a previous statement to the parliamentary committee on constitutional affairs, in which the government had stated that it had approved the purchase.
