BAGHDAD An oil exploration deal between U.S. oil giant Exxon Mobil and Iraq's autonomous Kurdish region is fueling political tensions in a country where a post-U.S.-troop withdrawal spike in violence and political turmoil is clouding the climate for foreign investments sorely needed by Iraq.Baghdad's anger over the deal highlights the long-simmering power struggle between the Kurdish and central governments. The dispute is building momentum as Iraqi Premier Nouri al-Maliki faces criticism over his stewardship of a country where, years after the 2003 U.S.-led war to topple Saddam Hussein, development remains a distant dream for millions.The deal "will certainly contribute to further complicating the relationship" between the Kurds and Baghdad, said Gala Riani, Middle East and North Africa Regional Manager at the London-based IHS Global Insight.It "may also raise tensions in border areas which have already become more restive as a result of the withdrawal of the

APJoe Perry and Steven Tyler of Aerosmith.Aerosmith front man Steven Tyler got engaged to his long term girlfriend Erin Brady over the Christmas holidays, TMZ reported.Brady, 38, was spotted wearing a large diamond ring, which sources say was an engagement ring, as the couple spent Christmas Day on the Hawaiian island of Maui.It is not clear whether the "American Idol" judge proposed before or after their Christmas vacation, but Tyler's family are reportedly furious about the news as they do not like Brady, according to the gossip site.Some of the rocker's relatives are allegedly upset that the 63-year-old singer did not tell them he planned to pop the question until after the proposal.Several members of the Tyler family have apparently clashed with Brady in the past, with one source telling TMZ, "She's just been mean to the family."Tyler, who has been married twice before, has yet to comment.

BEIJING A long-awaited government report said design flaws and sloppy management caused a bullet train crash in July that killed 40 people and triggered a public outcry over the high cost and dangers of China's showcase transportation system.A former railway minister was among 54 officials found responsible for the crash, a Cabinet statement said Wednesday.The crash report was highly anticipated by the public. Regulations required the government to release the report by Nov. 20. When that date passed, the government offered little explanation, drawing renewed criticism by state media, which have been unusually skeptical about the handling of the accident and the investigation.The Cabinet statement cited "serious design flaws and major safety risks" and what it said were a string of errors in equipment procurement and management.The report affirmed earlier government statements that a lightning strike caused one bullet train to stall and a sensor failure allowed

PHOENIX An administrative law judge ruled Tuesday that a Tucson school district's ethnic studies program violates state law, agreeing with the findings of Arizona's public schools chief.Judge Lewis Kowal's ruling marked a defeat for the Tucson Unified School District, which appealed the findings issued in June by Superintendent of Public Instruction John Huppenthal.Kowal's ruling, first reported by The Arizona Daily Star, said the district's Mexican-American Studies program violated state law by having one or more classes designed primarily for one ethnic group, promoting racial resentment and advocating ethnic solidarity instead of treating students as individuals.The judge, who found grounds to withhold 10 percent of the district's monthly state aid until it comes into compliance, said the law permits the objective instruction about the oppression of people that may result in racial resentment or ethnic solidarity."However, teaching oppression objectively is qu

be a lightning rod. Schoen said.Obama has an incentive to make the appointments. A board shutdown would infuriate labor unions since a friendly NLRB will help them expand union power."I guess he could squeeze that in, but I think it is a bad idea. I think recess appointments, for the most part, are done to bypass the Senate, the advice and consent that is required under the Constitution," said Sen. Phil Gingrey, R-Ga.Gingrey is one of several lawmakers who say not only do they want to avoid the recess appointments, they want the NLRB to disappear altogether.The NLRB had tried to prevent Boeing from opening a plant in South Carolina, a right-to-work state, saying to do so would be to bypass union rules on its plant in Washington state. The complaint was dropped after Boeing extended its contract with labor groups in Washington to 2016 and agreed its 737 Max airplane would be built on the West Coast.Gingrey said that action is way beyond the scope of the NLRB
