Top Stories: Hamas is "newly emboldened" as it has the backing of Qatar, Turkey and Egypt, and is "demonstrating its strength compared with a weak and crisis-laden Palestinian Authority." 

World: The rocket attacks on Kiryat Malachi, which had never had a direct hit from rockets from Gaza, and Tel Aviv "underscored the seemingly Sisyphean nature of the task at hand."  

U.S. In San Francisco nudists are suing for their right to remain naked saying that a law prohibiting nudity would violate freedom of speech

New York: A dog named Midnight was a "first responder" in the West Village during the hurricane, carrying water to people in an apartment complex.

Business: The men indicted in the BP case are "the faces of a renewed effort by the Justice Department to hold executives accountable for their actions," though their lawyers say they are scapegoats.
