President Obama said Monday that officials do not know who is behind
the attack on the Boston Marathon, but vowed that those responsible will
"feel the full weight of justice."The president assured that the administration
is mobilizing its "full resources" to help investigate and provide security."The
American people will say a prayer for Boston tonight," Obama said.The president
addressed the nation from the White House briefing room just hours after
the explosion.Officials tell Fox News that Obama has been in touch with
Massachusetts officials regarding the fatal attack and has directed his
administration to provide "whatever assistance is necessary."Reflecting
the very preliminary stage of the investigation, Obama said authorities
do not know who was behind the explosion."We still do not know
who did this or why, and people shouldn't jump to conclusions before
we have all the facts," he said. "But make no mistake, we
will get to the bottom of this. ... We will find out
who did this, and we will hold them accountable."A White House official
said the president called Boston Mayor Tom Menino and Massachusetts Gov.
Deval Patrick earlier Monday to "express his concern for those who were
injured and to make clear that his administration is ready to provide
needed support as they respond to the incident."Obama was briefed by Homeland
Security adviser Lisa Monaco and other members of his senior staff Monday
afternoon, as well as by FBI Direc
an Development funds -- including stimulus money -- but failed to file
the requisite paperwork regarding the hiring of low-income workers.In that
case, which also involved the city of Minneapolis, plaintiff Thomas Newell
got neither the backing of the agency nor the Justice Department and
lost the case, which if won would likely have resulted in the
cities repaying tens of millions in damages.The Obama administration has
acknowledged that senior Justice Department attorneys recommended intervening
in the case and characterized the False Claims Act infractions reported
by Newell as "particularly egregious."However, they thought the case would
be "quite weak and never should have been a serious candidate for
intervention," according to the report.The Justice Department claims everything
was above board -- and that the department held three staff briefings,
heard 24 hours of additional testimony and reviewed 1,400 pages of documents
before deciding not to intervene."The litigation decisions made by the department
were in the best interests of the United States and were consistent
with the department's legal, ethical, and professional responsibility obligations,"
the department said in a statement.Former Justice Department spokeswoman
Tracy Schmaler also questioned the use of the term "quid pro quo"
to describe what happened."It's such a loaded term," she said. "I think
in fact you have almost everybody agreeing nothing inappropriate happened

<p style="font-size:xx-small;">guessing it'll be pretty low," said Davenport, a longtime hunter. He said
that even though he's not personally affected by the registration provision,
"I'm offended as an American."The toughest part of the new statute --
banning in-state sales of those guns newly classified as "assault weapons"
-- immediately took effect Jan. 15. The new classification related to a
single military-style feature, such as a pistol grip on semi-automatic rifles
with detachable magazines. Other listed features include a folding or thumbhole
stock, bayonet mount, flash suppressor, or second protruding grip held by
the non-trigger hand.It requires owners to register an estimated 1 million
guns previously not classified as assault weapons by April 15, 2014, though
law enforcement officials acknowledge they don't know exactly how many such
guns New Yorkers have.The assault weapon definition also applies to some
shotguns and handguns. They include shotguns that are semi-automatic, or
self-loading, and have another feature, such as a folding stock, a second
handgrip held by the non-shooting hand or the ability to accept a
detachable magazine.Also covered are semi-automatic pistols that can take
detachable magazines and have another feature, such as a folding or thumbhole
stock, a second handgrip and a threaded barrel that can accept a
silencer.Many county boards in New York have passed resolutions urging at
least partial repeal of the law while warning that new reg
Senate Democrats are making last-minute changes to the hearing schedule
for a soon-to-be released immigration overhaul, in an apparent bid to address
Republican complaints that they're not being given enough time to review
the major legislation.The bipartisan "Gang of Eight" -- which for months
has been working on the bill -- plans to unveil the legislation
Tuesday. Members of that group, including Republican Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla.,
have over the past several days adamantly defended the provisions of the
package, trying to counter conservative skepticism that the plan amounts
to "amnesty."At the same time, Republicans have complained that Senate leaders
were not allowing nearly enough time to debate the bill, with just
one hearing scheduled by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy,
D-Vt.On Monday, Leahy made a gesture to those critics, delaying a previously
scheduled hearing from Wednesday to Friday, and scheduling one more for
next Monday."Over the course of the next week, the Senate Judiciary Committee
will hold two hearings on a forthcoming, bipartisan proposal to reform the
Nation's broken immigration system," Leahy said in a statement. "I look
forward to reviewing the bill, holding prompt hearings on the legislation,
and proceeding to debating and marking up legislation on this important
issue."Supporters of the bill are trying to navigate tricky political waters
that have drowned prior attempts to pass an immigration o
