Secretary-General Kofi Annan is quitting as international peace envoy for Syria, frustrated by "finger-pointing" at the United Nations while the armed rebellion against President Bashar al-Assad becomes increasingly bloody. As battles raged on Thursday in Syria's second city, Aleppo, between rebel fighters and government forces using war planes and artillery, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon announced in New York that Annan had said he would go at the end of the month. ... Full Story Top Knight's future in balance after trading disaster Thu,2 Aug 2012 08:23 PM PDT Reuters - NEW YORK (Reuters) - Knight Capital Group Inc fought for survival on Thursday after a $440 million trading loss caused by a software glitch wiped out much of its capital, forcing Knight to seek new funding as its shares plunged as much as 80 percent in two days. Many of the company's biggest customers, including TD Ameritrade, the No. 1 U.S. retail brokerage by trading volume, and fund giants Vanguard and Fidelity Investments, stopped routing orders through Knight. One of the biggest fears is that the company will collapse, landing trading clients and creditors with losses. ... Full Story Top Pension debt overwhelms bankrupt San Bernardino, California Thu,2 Aug 2012 04:53 PM PDT Reuters - LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - San Bernardino, the third California city to seek bankruptcy protection since June, is saddled with huge pension debt and will produce details of those unfunded obligations within 15 days, its mayor said on Thursday. The city filed for bankruptcy protection on Wednesday, citing over $1 billion in estimated liabilities and up to 25,000 creditors, many of whom are the city's own employees. The city, 65 miles east of Los Angeles, also listed estimated assets as over $1 billion. Patrick J. ... Full Story Top Jobs seen weak in July, may help push Fed to act Thu,2 Aug 2012 09:11 PM PDT Reuters - WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. employment probably only inched up in July as the economy struggled to regain momentum, strengthening expectations of additional monetary stimulus from the Federal Reserve. Nonfarm payrolls likely rose 100,000 last month, according to a Reuters survey, after gaining 80,000 in June. The closely watched employment report comes two days after the U.S. central bank sent a stronger signal that a new round of major support could be on the way if the faltering recovery does not pick up. ... Full Story Top Analysis: Knight trading loss shows cracks in equity markets Thu,2 Aug 2012 07:32 PM PDT Reuters - (Reuters) - The software glitch that cost Knight Capital Group $440 million in just 45 minutes reveals the deep fault lines in stock markets that are increasingly dominated by sophisticated high-speed trading systems. But Wall Street firms and regulators have few easy solutions for such problems. Automated trading can handle massive volumes of transactions in milliseconds, something human traders could never do. ... Full Story Top Analysis: NBC offers peek of future Olympics biz model, coverage Thu,2 Aug 2012 05:21 PM PDT Reuters - NEW YORK (Reuters) - NBC briefly tore down the digital wall protecting its Olympics coverage on Thursday and permitted consumers without a pay TV subscription to watch live online a much-anticipated race starring American swimmers Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte. The move was aimed at appeasing critics of NBC's strategy of delaying broadcasts of major Olympics events for prime time or requiring a cable subscription for online streaming - and could foreshadow how the Comcast Corp-owned network might handle its coverage of future Games. ... Full Story Top U.S. nuclear bomb facility shut after security breach Thu,2 Aug 2012 03:50 PM PDT Reuters - WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. government's only facility for handling, processing and storing weapons-grade uranium has been temporarily shut after anti-nuclear activists, including an 82-year-old nun, breached security fences, government officials said on Thursday. WSI Oak Ridge, the contractor responsible for protecting the facility at Oak Ridge, Tennessee, is owned by the international security firm G4S, which was at the center of a dispute over security at the London Olympic Games. ... Full Story Top Senate approves new ambassador to Afghanistan Thu,2 Aug 2012 07:14 PM PDT Reuters - WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Senate on Thursday confirmed career diplomat James Cunningham as ambassador to Afghanistan, replacing Ryan Crocker, who stepped down because of ill health. Cunningham has been serving as deputy ambassador at the U.S. embassy in Kabul since June 2011. Earlier, he was the U.S. ambassador to Israel; he also held senior U.S. posts in Hong Kong, NATO and the United Nations. He was confirmed on a voice vote. Crocker said in May that he was leaving the demanding Kabul post for health reasons after a long career in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Syria, Kuwait and Lebanon. ... Full Story Top Facebook shares dive as deadline for insider sales nears Thu,2 Aug 2012 03:08 PM PDT Reuters - SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Facebook shares crumbled again on Thursday, sending the once-feverishly sought-after name below $20 for the first time as investors scrambled to get out of the way of a potential share deluge in coming weeks. Thursday marked a five-day losing streak for the stock. Facebook has shed almost $50 billion in value since its debut -- more than the total valuation of Hewlett-Packard Co or Starbucks Corp. The stock debuted at $38 and has headed south since, pummeled by growing doubts about its lofty valuation, growth prospects, high-profile departures. ... Full Story Top Senate panel passes tax bill in rare bipartisan show Thu,2 Aug 2012 02:11 PM PDT Reuters - WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Senate tax writers approved a $205 billion package of tax breaks in a rare show of bipartisan unity on Thursday, but across Capitol Hill in the House of Representatives, sniping over taxes between Democrats and Republicans was in full force. Hours before leaving for a five-week break, the Senate Finance Committee passed legislation including a $15 billion business research tax break. It also contained a popular $132 billion provision to prevent the alternative minimum tax, targeted at the rich, from hitting the middle class. ... Full Story Top Syria banks face deposit challenge as civil war expands Thu,2 Aug 2012 08:48 PM PDT Reuters - AMMAN/DUBAI (Reuters) - Now that rebels have carried Syria's civil war from remote villages to the capital and the commercial hub, a banking system that survived 16 months of unrest will face its biggest test. In most of the country, banks have been managing to stay open, thanks to strenuous efforts by their managers and the needs of desperate customers who continue to deposit money because they can find no safer place. ... Full Story Top ECB signals may buy euro zone bonds Thu,2 Aug 2012 10:47 AM PDT Reuters - FRANKFURT (Reuters) - The European Central Bank indicated on Thursday it may again start buying government bonds to reduce crippling Spanish and Italian borrowing costs but the conditions it set and the dissenting voice of its key German member disappointed markets. In the latest move to contain the euro zone crisis, ECB President Mario Draghi indicated that any intervention would not come before September - and only if governments activated the euro zone's bail-out funds to join the ECB in buying bonds. "The Governing Council ... ... Full Story Top Hopes fade for new U.S. cybersecurity law in 2012 Thu,2 Aug 2012 12:11 PM PDT Reuters - WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Despite growing concerns of the threat of cyber attacks, chances of a new U.S. cybersecurity law passing this year faded Thursday as Senate Republicans blocked a bill that would let the government and companies share information about attacks on computer networks. The measure had been viewed as one of the few that might draw enough bipartisan support to get through the largely deadlocked Congress. Experts say there is an urgent need to address vulnerabilities of government and private systems controlling everything from highway traffic to financial services. ... Full Story Top Iraq seeking Russian air defense gear: official Thu,2 Aug 2012 11:47 AM PDT Reuters - BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraq's acting defense minister is in Russia negotiating the purchase of air surveillance equipment to help Iraq rebuild its crippled military defenses, a lawmaker said on Thursday. American troops pulled out of Iraq in December, leaving the war-battered country to defend its own borders and airspace for the first time since it was occupied in 2003. Under Saddam Hussein, Iraq's air force was one of the largest in the region with hundreds of mainly Soviet-designed jets. But its military was disbanded after the U.S.-led invasion in 2003 deposed of Saddam. ...

Many of the company's biggest customers, including TD Ameritrade, the No. 1 U.S. retail brokerage by trading volume, and fund giants Vanguard and Fidelity Investments, stopped routing orders through Knight. One of the biggest fears is that the company will collapse, landing trading partners with losses. ... Full Story Top Economic data underscores weakening activity Thu,2 Aug 2012 09:07 AM PDT Reuters - WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The number of Americans filing new claims for jobless benefits rose last week and manufacturers suffered an unexpected drop in orders in June, suggesting the economy is struggling to break out of a soft patch. The economy has lost momentum in recent months, hurt by fears of higher taxes and sharp government spending cuts next year and ongoing debt problems in Europe. Factory activity has cooled and job growth has braked sharply. "The data evidence has been disappointing on a lot of fronts. ... Full Story Top Apple seeks severe punishment for Samsung lawyer's actions Thu,2 Aug 2012 09:53 AM PDT Reuters - SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Apple Inc asked a U.S. judge on Thursday to punish Samsung Electronics Co Ltd for a Samsung attorney's conduct by ordering that the South Korean company has infringed Apple's phone design patents, according to a court filing. Trial began this week in high stakes litigation between the two companies. Apple sued Samsung last year in San Jose, California federal court, accusing Samsung of copying the iPhone and iPad. Samsung has countersued. U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh on Tuesday had barred Samsung's attorneys from presenting some evidence during opening statements. ... Full Story Top Cairo asks U.S. to free last Egyptian at Guantanamo Thu,2 Aug 2012 10:15 AM PDT Reuters - CAIRO (Reuters) - Egypt has asked the United States to free an Egyptian held at Guantanamo Bay since 2001 and who had been charged with backing terrorist groups in Afghanistan, the Foreign Ministry said on Thursday. It was the latest move by the Muslim Brotherhood-led administration to secure freedom for Egyptians jailed for Islamist militancy at home and abroad in the few weeks since President Mohamed Mursi was sworn in. ... Full Story Top Drought worsens in U.S. farm states-climatologists Thu,2 Aug 2012 10:07 AM PDT Reuters - (Reuters) - The worst U.S. drought in 56 years intensified over the past week as above-normal temperatures and scant rainfall parched corn and soybean crops across the Midwest and central Plains, a report from climate experts said on Thursday. The drought became more severe in the southern United States as well, just a year removed from a record-breaking dry spell that ruined crops and wilted grazing pastures across Texas and Oklahoma enough to force an unprecedented northward migration of cattle. ... Full Story Top Afghan forces thwart insurgent attack on Kabul Thu,2 Aug 2012 05:26 AM PDT Reuters - KABUL (Reuters) - Afghan security forces killed five insurgents and wounded one during a pre-dawn raid in Kabul on Thursday, with authorities saying they had thwarted a mass attack and captured intelligence pointing to the militant Haqqani network.

Full Story Top U.S. raises pressure for euro zone crisis action Thu,2 Aug 2012 03:12 AM PDT Reuters - FRANKFURT/BERLIN (Reuters) - The United States raised the pressure on euro zone leaders to take decisive action on solving the region's debt crisis, notably by lowering troubled members' borrowing costs, on the eve of a crucial European Central Bank meeting. President Barack Obama said he welcomed recent declarations by European leaders and the ECB on the need to do whatever is necessary to preserve the euro. U.S. ... Full Story Top BoE policy on hold for now as UK economy worsens Thu,2 Aug 2012 08:24 AM PDT Reuters - LONDON (Reuters) - The Bank of England decided it was too soon on Thursday to step up efforts to bolster Britain's recession-hit economy, although future action looks increasingly likely as growth shows little sign of rebounding after a dismal few months. Britain's economy tipped into its second recession in four years at the end of 2011, and a multi-year austerity program to close the country's vast budget deficit is weighing both on consumer morale and the government's popularity. ... Full Story Top RIM to launch new PlayBook line next week Thu,2 Aug 2012 12:09 PM PDT Reuters - TORONTO (Reuters) - Canada's Research In Motion has chosen its home country to launch a PlayBook tablet with built-in support for cellular networks, a crucial feature missing from its poor-selling initial models.

Full Story Top Analysis: Glazers may make a killing on Man Utd investment Wed,1 Aug 2012 10:05 PM PDT Reuters - (Reuters) - Manchester United Ltd's owners stand to make about three times their investment in the British soccer club if it successfully goes public. The club, one of the most popular in the world, has kicked off the marketing for its U.S. initial public offering, which will value the club at $3.3 billion if the sale is at the high end of the pricing range of $16-to-$20 per share. The owners, the Glazer family, bought the team for 790 million pounds ($1.2 billion) in 2005 in a leveraged buyout. ... Full Story Top Annan quits as international Syria mediator: U.N.

Full Story Top Analysis: Syrian army faces tough battle in Aleppo Thu,2 Aug 2012 07:25 AM PDT Reuters - LONDON (Reuters) - The Syrian army's brisk recapture of parts of Damascus is unlikely to be repeated in Aleppo, where open rebel supply lines, hard-to-assail narrow streets and an apparent lack of elite manpower will limit its commanders' options. The struggle in parts of Aleppo held by insurgents is likely to be more protracted than last month's battles in the capital, inflicting further bloodshed and damage on Syria's largest city and driving more of the population out, analysts say. ... Full Story Top Congress approves new Iran sanctions on oil, shipping sectors Wed,1 Aug 2012 05:40 PM PDT Reuters - WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Congress overwhelmingly passed a new package of sanctions against Iran on Wednesday that aims to punish banks, insurance companies and shippers that help Tehran sell its oil.

The bill now heads to the White House for President Barack Obama's signature. ... Full Story Top Canada's Enbridge says has repaired oil line after leak Wed,1 Aug 2012 08:42 PM PDT Reuters - (Reuters) - Enbridge Inc said on Wednesday that it had completed repairs on a ruptured pipeline from Canada that has been shut for five days following an oil leak in rural Wisconsin.

Enbridge said earlier in the day that it submitted a plan to U.S. regulators seeking permission to restart the pipeline, though it was unclear how long it would take to get approval. ... Full Story Top Obama authorized secret support for Syrian rebels Wed,1 Aug 2012 06:04 PM PDT Reuters - WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama has signed a secret order authorizing U.S. support for rebels seeking to depose Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his government, sources familiar with the matter said. Obama's order, approved earlier this year and known as an intelligence "finding," broadly permits the CIA and other U.S. agencies to provide support that could help the rebels oust Assad. This and other developments signal a shift toward growing, albeit still circumscribed, support for Assad's armed opponents - a shift that intensified following last month's failure of the U.N. ...

The RAV4 cars were made from model years 2006 through 2011, while only 2010 models of the HS 250h were affected. Toyota said that if nuts on the rear suspension arm are not tightened properly during a rear wheel alignment service, rust could form, leading to wear and possibly cause the arm to separate. ... Full Story Top Fed says economy may need help, keeps policy on hold Wed,1 Aug 2012 01:07 PM PDT Reuters - WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Federal Reserve stopped short of offering new monetary stimulus on Wednesday even as it signaled more strongly that further bond buying could be in store to help a economic recovery that it said had lost momentum this year. Fed officials described the economy as having "decelerated somewhat," a change of tone from its previous assessment in June when it said the economy had been "expanding moderately." The Fed's policymakers also reiterated their disappointment with the slow pace of progress in bringing down the nation's 8.2 percent jobless rate. ... Full Story Top ECB's Draghi faces leadership test over euro pledge Thu,2 Aug 2012 03:01 AM PDT Reuters - FRANKFURT (Reuters) - European Central Bank President Mario Draghi was under intense pressure from investors, European leaders and even the United States to deliver on Thursday on his pledge to do whatever it takes to save the euro. Draghi faced the biggest test of his nine months' leadership of the central bank at its monthly policy meeting, which began at 0700 GMT. Any sign that he overplayed his hand when he made the bold pledge a week ago could see markets punish the euro zone. ... Full Story Top U.S. to mull more bombers, submarines for Pacific Wed,1 Aug 2012 04:24 PM PDT Reuters - WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Pentagon planners will consider adding bombers and attack submarines as part of a growing U.S. focus on security challenges in the Asia-Pacific, a senior Defense Department official said on Wednesday.

U.S. ... Full Story Top Obama ahead in three key states, poll shows Wed,1 Aug 2012 12:41 PM PDT Reuters - WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama has the edge over Mitt Romney in three key battleground states in large part because voters find him more likable than the Republican challenger, a poll released on Wednesday found. Quinnipiac University's survey of more than 3,500 likely voters in the November 6 U.S. election found Obama ahead by 11 percentage points in Pennsylvania (53 to 42 percent), and 6 percentage points in both Ohio (50 to 44 percent) and Florida (51 to 45 percent). Obama won all three states in the 2008 presidential election. ...

In Aleppo, rebel fighters seized three police stations while fighting the army for control of a strategically important district. Explosions could be heard and helicopter gunships cruised the skies as troops tried to push the rebels out of the northern city and preserve one of Assad's main centers of power. ... Full Story Top Romney tax plan helps rich, hurts middle class: study Wed,1 Aug 2012 12:26 PM PDT Reuters - WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican U.S. presidential challenger Mitt Romney's proposal to slash income taxes by 20 percent across the board would boost income for the wealthiest taxpayers while reducing it for the middle class, according to a nonpartisan analysis released on Wednesday. The report by the centrist Tax Policy Center found that Romney's tax cuts would boost after-tax income by an average of 4.1 percent for those earning more than $1 million a year, while reducing by an average of 1.2 percent the after-tax income of individuals earning less than $200,000. ... Full Story Top San Antonio airport terminals reopened after bomb threat Wed,1 Aug 2012 03:26 PM PDT Reuters - SAN ANTONIO (Reuters) - The San Antonio International Airport was evacuated for about 90 minutes on Wednesday after a caller said three bombs were planted in a parking garage, but police did not find anything dangerous. "We have cleared all sections of the parking garage," San Antonio Police spokesman Sergeant Javier Salazar said. Police were on the scene investigating. The terminals were reopened around 4 p.m. local time.
