2【More anti-Islam film demonstrations in Pakistan, Philippines】反伊斯兰电影引发巴菲示威不断
TEXT:Pakistani lawyers vent their anger over an amateur film made in the US mocking the Prophet Mohamad. More than two weeks after world-wide protests first broke out over the crudely made film, feelings continue to run high in some areas. Chanting "We are ready to sacrifice our lives to safeguard the Propher's honour' dozens of lawyers fought their way to the entrance of Islamabad's diplomatic quarter to hand over a condemnation memo to US Embassy officials. In marked contrast, around a hundred young men and women calling themselves the Youth of Pakistan staged a peaceful protest against the film outside a mosque in the city. This woman says their aim is to show a positive image of Pakistan to the world. There were more protests in the Phillipines as Muslims gathered in the capital Manila after Friday prayers. They say they want their government to ask Google to block the film from appearing on YouTube. While demonstrations have so far been peaceful in the Phillipines, some like this man warned they could turn violent if their demands aren't met. The Philippine Supreme Court has ordered a ban on public screenings of the film but has so far not ruled on the issue of online access.
参考译文:美国制作的嘲讽先知穆罕默德的业余视频引发了巴基斯坦律师界的强烈愤怒。自这部极具冒犯性的电影第一次引发世界范围内抗议以来已经有两个多星期了，但在某些地区愤怒的情绪仍在高涨。抗议者高喊着“我们愿意以我们的生命捍卫先知的清誉。数十名律师艰难进入伊斯兰堡外交部向美国大使官员递交一份谴责书。与此形成鲜明对比的是，在该市一清真寺外，约一百来名自称是巴基斯坦青年员的年轻人呼吁和平抗议反伊斯兰电影。这名妇女表示，他们的目的是为了让世界看到巴基斯坦积极的形象。在菲律宾周五祈祷过后，随着穆斯林在首都马尼拉逐渐聚集爆发了更多的抗议。他们希望政府要求谷歌封锁YouTube上的反伊斯兰电影。尽管迄今为止菲律宾都是和平抗议，但像这位男士一样的人警告如果他们的要求没有得以实现，他们可能进行暴力抗议。尽管菲律宾最高法院已经下令禁止公开放映该电影，但迄今为止仍可以从网上在线获得。
3【Plastic pellets fired at Czech president】捷克总统遭塑料子弹袭击
TEXT:The Czech Republic president was attacked by a man wielding a pellet gun on Friday (September 28) during a routine visit to a village. President Vaclav Klaus was in a local area for the opening of a new bridge. But as he met the crowd, a man opened fire with an airsoft gun - hitting the president on the arm. While he escaped uninjured, the local mayor said the president was less than impressed with his security team.CHRASTAVA MAYOR MICHAEL CANOV SAYING (Czech): "I heard the president say to his bodyguards, 'You didn't react very well' or something like that." The attacker walked away from the scene before being detained by police. MAN WHO ATTACKED PRESIDENT, PAVEL ONDROUS, SAYING (Czech): "I think it's an adequate expression of my feelings, even though someone could call it extreme. I think it is extreme when the government forces a third of the nation into hunger." Despite the attack, the 71-year-old president appeared defiant. PRESIDENT VACLAV KLAUS SAYING (Czech): "I would have hit him back, but there wasn't a chance." Klaus finishes his second and final term as president in March.

TEXT：CARL AZUZ, CNN ANCHOR: You know why Fridays are awesome? Because we get to talk about things like cell phones, school lunches, motocross and a 12-year old pool prodigy. I`m Carl Azuz, CNN STUDENT NEWS starts right now.
Kaila, Blake, Tyler and dozens more of you on our Facebook page said the NFL needs to get the real referees back. Done. A crew of regular officials, one with 70 combined seasons of experience, were set to work last night`s Browns-Ravens game. That happened after the league temporarily lifted its lockout against the officials. The lockout started when the NFL and its referees couldn`t agree on the terms of a new contract. The league hired replacement refs from lower levels of college football and high school. The replacements were criticized for mistakes and blown calls, and then on Monday night, on the last play of the game, two refs made opposite calls in the in-zone. One said touchdown the other interception. 48 hours later the NFL reached a deal with the regular officials. It still has to be approved. When it is, that`s when the lockout will officially be over.
The Untied Nations General Assembly, it`s going on all week at the U.N. headquarters in New York City. The assembly has heard speeches from some of the leaders of the 193 countries that are members of the U.N.
This isn`t one of those leaders, but he wants to be. It`s Mahmoud Abbas, President of the Palestinian Authority. Right now, Palestinians are considered a permanent observer at the U.N. The group is hoping to eventually become a full member, but in order to do that, Palestine would have to be recognized as an independent country. That`s something President Abbas says Israel isn`t willing to do. That`s part of the conflict between Palestinians and Israel. This is Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He spoke at the U.N. yesterday too, after President Abbas`s speech. He said the two sides need to sit down and negotiate together in order to solve their differences. But he said part of that negotiation would be for Palestinians to recognize Israel as a legitimate nation.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: See if you can I.D. me. I`m a process of giving off energy in waves or particles. I`m used in some medical treatments, and I`m also transmitted by microwaves, TV`s and radios.
I`m radiation. From a Latin word that means "being of light."
AZUZ: Cell phones give off radiation as well. You might have heard some questions or maybe you have some of your own, about how safe it is to hold one of these things up next to your head when it`s giving off these energy waves, when it`s giving off radiation. And so far, studies haven`t shown a consistent link between cell phones and cancer. But Dr. Sanjay Gupta runs through some of the reasons why people are concerned about this, and he offers some tips on how to cut down on this energy waves.
DR. SANJAY GUPTA, CNN CORRESPONDENT: We`ve only been using cell phones regularly in this country since 1996, and that`s important because research takes time. It can take decades to actually get answers, so when you hear that we know that they are 100 percent safe, we actually don`t know.
We`re talking about something known as non-ionizing radiation. That`s different than what comes out of a an X-ray machine, for example, which is ionizing radiation.
(inaudible) scientists will use to describe it, they are saying it`s sort of causes a heating up of the brain, much like an egg, for example, that`s being cooked. So we don`t know how long it takes to actually get those effects, but we know people use their cell phones more than ever; we know that they start at a very young age, and some people keep some source of radiation next to their brain all day long. So that`s part of the concern as well.
Most people, including myself, don`t always read the inserts that come with the devices. But if you were to, on a BlackBerry Bold, for example, you`d find that it actually tells you in the manual to keep this about an inch, .89 inches away from your head. I don`t know how many people talk on the phone like this, but that`s essentially what they are asking you to do. With an iPhone, for example, it`s .58 of an inch.
So if you read those manuals closely, you`ll see that that`s what they are asking to do, and it`s also part of the reason that they give you earpieces to wear instead of holding the phone to your ear.
Your phone is not always emitting the same level. In those really tough times, when you are really struggling with your phone, which I do all the time, you are in a bad cell area, you are not getting good reception, your phone is actually working harder. It sends signals back and forth to the nearest tower, but if your phone is not working well, it means it`s sending more of those signals, more of that energy and more of that radiation. Those are good times to put the phone away.
It does appear that children`s brains are more vulnerable. Their skulls are just thinner. So when you talk about the radiation, it`s easier to get through, because of those thin sculls. And also, keep in mind, that most of us didn`t use cell phones until we were already adults. We didn`t have this technology as kids. They are going to grow up their entire lives with it.
Simply use an earpiece. I mean all the research, all the science is pointing that way, and while we don`t know enough yet, you don`t want to find out 15, 20 years from now, in fact, there was a cancer link, and you didn`t do anything about it. The solution is simple.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Today "Shoutout" goes out to Mrs. Sheets` American History classes at Glades Middle School in Miramar, Florida. What symbol does the U.S. government currently use to encourage health eating habits? Here we go, is it a pyramid, wheel, prism or plate? You`ve got three seconds, go!
The USDA switched from a pyramid to a plate last year. That`s your answer and that`s your "Shoutout."
AZUZ: Some students say, they are not getting enough to eat at school lunch, because of U.S. government rules that took effect this August, and they limit the amount of calories that school cafeterias are allowed to serve to between 750 and 850 calories in high schools. Now, before these rules took effect, school lunches were at least 825 calories.
The plan, supported by first lady Michelle Obama, was to reduce childhood obesity and encourage healthier choices -- more fruits and vegetables. But the law cuts down on proteins and carbs, and complaints at some of the nation`s schools are that students are getting hungry after lunch, that they are throwing away their school food, and that their bringing their own lunches because they are simply not getting enough at school. The U.S. Department of Agriculture suggests that students may be hungry because they are not eating everything offered to them, and it encourages them to have a healthy snack.
What do you say? Have you noticed a change in your school lunch this year? Are you getting enough to it? We`d love for you to sound off on our blog, it`s cnnstudentnews.com. Please, use only your first name and check out our quick poll, which we posted there as well.
Back in March, we did a report on our show about Ashley Fiolek. At the time we said she was a three-time champion in women`s motocross. It looks like we are going to have to update that scoreboard. Once again, here is Dr. Sanjay Gupta with more on an inspirational athlete.
GUPTA: For Ashley Fiolek, motocross racing is in her blood.
ASHLEY FIOLEK, CHAMPION WMX RIDER: My dad used to race, and he brought me to watch one race, and I was three years old, and I fell in love.
GUPTA: But there is something different about Ashley, which (inaudible).
She can`t hear a thing. Ashley was born completely deaf. She speaks to us through her sign-language translator and her friend Natalie (ph).
FIOLEK (through translator): I don`t know how it would riding hearing. I grew up and I was born deaf.
GUPTA: In a sport that prides itself on making noise, where hearing your opponents coming can be the difference between winning and losing, Ashley stands alone.
FIOLEK: But she really asked to hold on my lines when I`m riding, because it`s really hard to see if someone`s coming up behind me.
GUPTA: She also uses the vibrations of the engine to make sure she`s in the right gear. At this race, Ashley who was the only deaf rider ever to compete in motocross, was trying for her fourth championship title.
FIOLEK: I feel really good, and I hit every jump, and the big double. I hope I can win and hope to be the champion.
GUPTA: And she achieved just that, beating out her closest rival for the national championship. But for Ashley, it`s about more than just winning.
FIOLEK: I think it`s really cool to be a role model for the deaf community, and it`s cool feeling to have people to look up to you.
GUPTA: And for Natalie, her friend`s impact is obvious as well.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: She is very important in women`s motocross. As an idol for all these young girls, whether she is deaf or not, you know, she is like -- she is smaller than I am, and she can ride a dirt bike like that. It`s crazy.
GUPTA: Proof that anything is possible. Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN, reporting.
AZUZ: All right. That pool prodigy we mentioned at the start of the show. She is not in the water.
She is on the felt. April Larson started shooting pool when she was barely tall enough to see over the table. Now, at 12, she is a regular champ. MVP of a summer league, an adult summer league, national title for her age group. Next up an international competition in Germany later this year. There is sure to be a deep pool of talent, but April is looking to rack up another win there, maybe pocket some more trophies. I`m getting cue we`ve run out of the time, so we are going to take a break until Monday. Have a great weekend.

【Obama: 'We've Got the Best Stuff'】
TEXT:OBAMA SOT: We don't believe that government should be helping people who refuse to help themselves. But we do believe in opportunity. We do believe that hard work should pay off. We do believe everyone should get a fair shot and everybody does their fair share. And everybody plays by the same rules. We believe in an America where no matter what you look like or where you come from or who you love, you can make it if you try. That's the country we believe in that's what we're fighting for, that's why I'm running for a second term as president of the United States. I believe in what we're calling a new economic patriotism. Rooted in that belief that a strong economy starts with a strong middle class. And I don't pretend that the path we need to be on is going to be quick or easy. It took more than a few years to get to where we are and it's going to take more time to get us out of this mess we've created by some of the same policies my opponent is now proposing. But our problems can be solved. Our challenges can be met. We've still got the best workers in the world, the best universities, the best scientists ... We got the best stuff. We just got to bring it together. And listen, if you doubt it, just understand there's not a country on earth that wouldn't trade places with us right now. That's why people from all around the world want to come here. So the path I'm offering may be harder but it leads to a better place.

【In the Garden: Growing Onions】
TEXT:This is the VOA Special English Agriculture Report.
这里是美国之音慢速英语农业报道。
Onions come in different sizes, shapes, colors and flavors, from mild and sweet to hot and strong. A full-grown onion plant has roots, bulbs and leaves. The leaves are long, thin and hollow. The
y stand straight up and thicken at the bottom to form a bulb.
洋葱的大小，形状，颜色不一，口味等各不相同，从清甜到辛辣不等。一个成熟的洋葱包括根、球茎和叶子。洋葱叶子细长、中空。洋葱直立生长，并在底部增厚形成球茎。
Onions are biennials; their life cycle is two years long. But they are usually picked during their first year after flowers form and the bulbs stop growing.
洋葱是两年生植物，它们的生命周期是两年。但洋葱通常会在生长周期的第一年开花并且球茎停止生长后采摘。
Onions grow best in loose, fertile soil. They can grow in many different climates. In cooler climates, onions may need fourteen to fifteen hours of daylight to start forming bulbs. In warmer climates, onions can begin developing bulbs with fewer hours of daily sun.
洋葱最适宜在疏松、肥沃的土壤生长。洋葱可以在许多不同气候条件下生长。在寒冷气候下，洋葱可能需要14-15小时日照才能开始形成球茎。而在温暖气候条件下，洋葱能够在几个小时日照的情况下形成球茎。
Barbara Fick is an extension agent at Oregon State University in the northwestern United States. She says a faster way to grow onions is to plant what are called sets.
芭芭拉?菲克（Barbara Fick）是美国西北部的俄勒冈州立大学的一名推广员。她说，种植洋葱的一种更快的方式是种植所谓的块茎。
BARBARA FICK: "Well, onion sets are actually small plants, versus starting with a seed. So when you have a set, onion set, it actually is, you know, the small bulb. So it does not take as long to grow."
菲克：“和从播种开始种植洋葱相比，洋葱块茎实际上是一种幼苗。所以洋葱块茎实际上就是小洋葱。”
Organic material like compost or leaf mulch can help onions grow in heavy soil.
堆肥或叶子覆盖膜等有机肥可以帮助洋葱在质地坚硬的土壤中生长。
The bulbs can be pulled from the ground once their tops have dried and fallen over. Onions can be stored for months. But Barbara Fick says stored onions need to be cured first.
当洋葱球茎顶部的叶子干枯、脱落后，就可以把洋葱球茎从地里拔出。洋葱可以存放几个月之久。但Barbara Fick称，存储洋葱必须先进行处理。
BARBARA FICK: "Curing is a way of making sure those leaves on the outside are nice and dry."
菲克：“干燥过程是确保洋葱外部的叶子良好、干燥。”
Here are some directions from editors at the National Gardening Association.
以下是美国园艺协会编辑们给出的一些指导建议。
First, dry the onions in the sun for a day or so. Then bring them out of direct sun for two to three weeks. Spread them out in any warm, airy place that is covered. Or cover the onions with a light cotton sheet held in place with stones along the edge.
首先，把洋葱在阳光下曝晒一天左右，然后在阳光不能直射的地方晾晒。在遮盖阳光的温暖通风的地方铺开。或者用轻薄的棉布盖好洋葱，并把棉布边缘用石头压住。
The sheet will keep the sun from burning the bulbs. Don't worry about rain. And do not use a plastic or canvas sheet. Heavy coverings will trap moisture and keep the onions from drying fully.
棉布可以防止太阳把洋葱完全晒干。不要担心下雨，不要使用塑料或帆布覆盖。严实覆盖物可以锁住水分防止洋葱完全晒干。
Turn the bulbs a couple of times to help them dry evenly.
翻动洋葱数次以使其均匀干燥。
After curing the onions, you can hang them indoors in mesh bags to dry even more. There should be no wet spots on the onions when they are put in storage. Editors at the National Gardening Association say the longer onions are cured, the better they will keep.
干燥后的洋葱可以装入网袋挂在室内使其更干一些。在洋葱放入储藏室之前，必须确保洋葱外表上没有湿斑。美国园艺协会的编辑们表示，洋葱干燥时间越长，储存时间也越长。
Some people cut off the top leaves before curing onions. If you do that, do not cut the leaves any closer than two and a half centimeters from the bulb.
一些人在洋葱干燥前剪去鳞茎顶部的叶子。在剪叶子时，不要剪掉鳞茎附近2.5厘米以内的叶子。
