Wyclef Jean Defends His Haiti Charity (15)
13, 2010, the day after a 7.0-magnitude earthquake hit his country. (AP Photo/Lynne Sladky) (AP) Haitian-born rapper Wyclef Jean spoke out Saturday in defense of his foundation after charity screening groups raised concerns about its accounting practices.

"It is impossible for me to even comprehend the recent attacks on my character and the integrity of my foundation," he said in a statement. "The fact that these attacks come as we are mobilized to meet the greatest human tr...

Equipment and supplies are needed to rescue and recover those who are trapped under debris and fallen structures. Garcon is a man of valor. When he plays football this weekend, he will play...

Ecosystem Marketplace, a project of Forest Trends, is a leading source of news, data, and analytics on markets and payments for ecosystem services (such as water quality, carbon sequestration, and biodiversity). We believe that by making accessible information on policy, finance, regulation, science, business, and other market-relevant factors, markets for ecosystem services will one day become a fundamental part of our economic system, helping give value to environmental services that, for too long, have been taken for granted.

Obama In Boston To Campaign For Coakley (12)
President Barack Obama will arrive in Boston later today to campaign for Democratic Senatorial candidate Martha Coakley, whose tight race with Republican Scott Brown has gone down to the wire. Obama will speak at 3 p.m. today at Northeastern University's Cabot Center in hopes of reviving Coakley's campaign for Ted Kennedy's former Senate seat. Over the past week, Brown's popularity has soared with most polls showing him neck-and-neck with, or leading Coakley, on the verge of Tuesday's special election in Massachusetts. The Democratic candidate's campaign has come under fire for a laissez-faire approach, as well as negatively attacking Brown in a TV ad launched last week. Obama's pre...

His bank job gone, he got a bright idea (11)
It was during consultations with a Wells Fargo career transition firm that Kepper decided on a future in solar energy. "He is a talented guy and a self starter," says Jim Daley, the senior vice president and executive coach for Lee, Hecht and Harrison, which worked with Kepper.

TAILGATING WITH NNAMDI ASOMUGHA / How to control a top QB (11)
Ravens S Ed Reed: "I think the key to a successful game for the Ravens will be to rely on their pass rush. Manning isn't a very mobile quarterback, so if they can manage to frustrate him early by bringing five guys and leaving six in coverage, I think the Ravens can have a lot of success. Now if that doesn't frustrate Peyton, then it will be a long day for the Ravens, but the key will the Ravens' pass rush. "I think that Ed Reed is going to have a big a game, but not necessarily big numbers. If he can disguise coverages, like he has with success against Peyton in the past, it will definitely work in the favor of the cornerbacks for the Ravens. Teams have been coming in every...

From here the route runs due north, across the Drake Passage, towards Cape Horn and the tip of Argentina. One of the beauties of traveling down south this time of year is that the sun barely sets.

Tonight could be the most beautiful I've ever seen the nearby Melchior Islands, bathed in the pink light of an Antarctic sunset.
