Compiled by Bob Nixon

• Federal court order rules that the White house violated a 1990 law when it failed to meet deadlines on releasing updated plans to guide federal research on climate change.

• Flush with oil profits, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has pledged nearly billion in aid to other Latin American nations, more than double the aid sent by the Bush administration in 2005. The aid has been directed to new left-leaning governments in Central and South America.

• NYC's Mayor Michael Bloomberg, eyeing an independent run for the White House, has claimed success in handing over the city's public education system to corporate manager.
