Italy's Mafia thrives in global financial meltdown
NAPLES, Italy – While businesses around the world are hunkering down for survival, the Italian mob is living a golden moment.
Italy's various organized crime syndicates — often lumped together colloquially as Mafia Inc. — are gobbling up gas stations, muscling in on supermarket franchises, making loans to cash-starved businesses, taking over trattorias and acquiring buildings in swank neighborhoods in Rome and Milan, investigators say.

Obama urges EU to accept Turkey as member
PRAGUE – President Barack Obama is urging the European Union to accept Turkey as a member, saying it would be a positive sign to the Muslim world. Obama spoke Sunday at a luncheon for leaders of the EU's 27 nations in Prague. He said the West should seek greater cooperation and closer ties with Islamic nations. He said letting Turkey into the EU would be an important sign of those efforts. France, Austria and other nations oppose Turkey's long-running efforts to join the European Union. EU members have urged Turkey to do more to guarantee minority rights, curb powers of its military and pass new rights for trade unions.

YouTube video of queen, Italian leader popular
LONDON – Was Queen Elizabeth II angry at Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi for trying too hard to get President Barack Obama's attention? Apparently not.

The queen's press people say the whole thing was little more than a joke among friends. But the popular video of the event has surfaced on YouTube — so viewers can judge for themselves.
