Post Office Building in New York City.REUTERSThe financially strapped U.S.
Postal Service is running into opposition from historic preservationists
as the agency tries to cut losses by selling off buildings.The postal
service lost $15.9 billion last year, after losing $5.1 billion in 2011
-- as online services continue to replace money-making mail deliveries.Hundreds
of post offices are on the National Register of Historic Places, which
largely protects them from being demolished, or are protected under deals
with new owners.But preservationists point out some of the 600 post offices
earmarked for disposal in the agencys fiscal 2012 report could have historical
significance and be sold.Steve Hutkins, a New York University professor
who runs the website Save the Post Office, told FoxNews.com the number
for sale might be closer to 200 because about 400 would be
lease terminations, yet he remains skeptical.The New York Times reports
11 historic post offices are now on the market, including ones in
Santa Monica, Calif., and Norwich, Conn.While many of the buildings are
most known for the exterior architectural designs, more than 1,000 have
Art-Deco-era murals of potential value, the result of the federal government
commissioning artists during the 1930s Depression.Bernard Perlin, who as
a young man painted a mural in 1939 in a New Jersey
post office, later had his work c
WASHINGTON Amid mounting tensions with North Korea, the Pentagon has delayed
an intercontinental ballistic missile test that had been planned for next
week at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, a senior defense official
told The Associated Press on Saturday.The official said Defense Secretary
Chuck Hagel decided to put off the long-planned Minuteman 3 test until
sometime next month because of concerns the launch could be misinterpreted
and exacerbate the Korean crisis. Hagel made the decision Friday, the official
said.The test was not connected to the ongoing U.S.-South Korean military
exercises that have been going on in that region and have stoked
North Korean anger and fueled an escalation in threatening actions and rhetoric.North
Korea's military warned earlier this week that it was authorized to attack
the U.S. using "smaller, lighter and diversified" nuclear weapons. And South
Korean officials say North Korea has moved at least one missile with
"considerable range" to its east coast -- possibly the untested Musudan
missile, believed to have a range of 1,800 miles. U.S. officials have
said the missile move suggests a North Korean launch could be imminent
and thus fuels worries in the region.Pyongyang's moves come on the heels
of the North's nuclear test in February, and the launch in December
of a long-range North Korean rocket that could potentially hit the continental
U.S. Added to that is the uncertainty surrounding the int

<p style="font-size:xx-small;"> KINGSTON, Jamaica Two Canadians and two Americans attempting a trans-Atlantic
expedition have been rescued after a rogue wave apparently capsized their
boat after 73 days at sea.The U.S. Coast Guard said Sunday that
the four rowers were rescued from waters some 400 miles (645 kilometers)
north of Puerto Rico.The group includes Adam Kreek, a Canadian Olympic rowing
gold medalist. They were attempting to row between Senegal and Miami.The
men took to a life raft Saturday after their ocean rowboat "James
Robert Hanssen" overturned and could not be righted. They donned life jackets
and set off a personal locator beacon.Guard crews located the men some
five hours after getting a distress signal and a cargo ship later
picked up the rowers. They are being transported to Puerto Rico.
omatic spending cuts that are otherwise poised
to take effect over the next 10 years.Counting reductions and higher taxes
that Congress and Obama have approved since 2011, the 2014 budget would
contribute to a total $4.3 trillion in total deficit reduction by 2023.The
key deficit reduction elements of the plan incorporate an offer Obama made
to Boehner in December as both men sought to avert an impending
"fiscal cliff" of automatic, across the board spending cut and broad tax
increases.Obama's plan has two central features -- $580 billion in new taxes
that Republicans oppose and a new inflation formula, rejected by many liberals,
that would reduce the annual cost of living adjustments for a broad
swath of government programs, including Social Security and benefits for
veterans.In his address, Obama said he would achieve deficit reduction by
making "tough reforms" to Medicare and by enacting "commonsense tax reform
that includes closing wasteful tax loopholes for the wealthy and well-connected."Obama,
however, made no mention of the effect his budget would have on
Social Security and on other social safety net programs, a key feature
of his proposal and one that drew hostile reaction from some of
his most ardent political backers.Obama rejected a House Republican budget
that aims to balance the budget in 10 years with steep cuts
in domestic spending. His remarks reflected the White House's argument that
