Church Cancels Koran Burning

The pastor of a 50-member strong American church has announced that he is no longer declaring September 11th, 2010, an "International Burn a Koran Day".

Pastor Terry Jones, leader of the Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville, Florida, has received numerous pleas, including from high-ranking members of the U.S. Administration, to cancel his plans of organizing public burnings of the Koran.

Abandoned Babies in Malaysia

The Malaysian government estimates that an average of 100 abandoned babies are found each year. The problem is often blamed on lack of sex education, the shame of unwed mothers, Internet pornography, and even Western culture.

The proposed solutions, however, are believed to be inefficient; schools for pregnant teenagers, lowering legal marriage age, and providing a place where mothers can safely leave their children.
