(AP) HAVANA – The wife of imprisoned American Alan Gross said Tuesday she has returned from a trip to Cuba to see her husband, and is fearful he will not survive his long incarceration. Judy Gross said her husband has developed a mass behind his right shoulder blade, and suffers from degenerative arthritis and 여수출장마사지 other ailments. The 63-year-old Maryland native, who was obese at the time of his arrest in December 2009, has lost 105 pounds while in custody and now appears gaunt in photos released from a Havana military hospital where he is being held. “I am devastated by his appearance,” Judy Gross wrote in the statement. “While his spirit remains strong, I fear he is not going to survive this terrible ordeal.” She begged Cuban President Raul Castro to “put an end to our anguish and let Alan come home.” There was no immediate reaction from Cuba’s government to Judy Gross’s plea.

The Secret

(CBS) Oprah Winfrey left a big gap in daytime programming when she ended “The Oprah Winfrey Show” earlier this year. She covered everything: Politics. Human emotion. Weight struggles. Spirituality. The Secret. And she did it in a way that drew in viewers from just about every socioeconomic group. And who has the far-reaching appeal that Winfrey has? No one. Let’s be honest. But here are some of the options from which Americans can choose to have their daily gab needs met – and maybe some of these hosts will surprise us. Anderson Cooper: The CNN anchor and reporter hit the airwaves Monday with “Anderson,” his new talk show. His first guests were Amy Winehouse’s family. The L.A. Times writes, “[D]espite the man’s famous Vanderbilt/Dalton School/Yale/CNN pedigree, [“Anderson”] appears to be eerily similar to every other daytime talk show host’s [show].” That’s just one opinion, but Anderson does appeal to lots of different groups. Perhaps he can build his show into something bigger than a traditional talk show over time.  Dr. Oz: Winfrey first had Dr. Oz on in 2004. He got his own show in late 2009 after many appearances alongside Oprah. Oz’s show – “The Dr. Oz Show” – is primarily a medical and health show wrapped up in a talk show format. Tackling belly fat is one of the subjects of the show’s new season. Dr. Drew:...

The coalition said Tuesday it has not yet confirmed whether the three were killed by rockets or mortar rounds that were fired at the base around late Monday night

(CBS/AP) KABUL – NATO says three members of the Afghan national security forces have been killed in an attack at Bagram Air Field, a sprawling U.S. base north of Kabul. The coalition said Tuesday it has not yet confirmed whether the three were killed by rockets or mortar rounds that were fired at the base around late Monday night. Gen. Akram Begzad, the police chief in Parwan province where the base is located, said a rocket was fired at the base from an undisclosed location. He says two Afghan intelligence employees were among those killed in the attack. The attack also destroyed a Chinook helicopter belonging to the NATO-led forces. A NATO spokesperson tells CBS News two Western service personnel who were onboard the helicopter were wounded. The extent of their injuries was not given and their nationalities were withheld. U.S. not handing over all Afghan prisonersVideo: Bagram prison handed to Afghan forcesReport: Afghan fuel program lacks accountability Militants occasionally fire mortars or rockets at Bagram, but the attacks generally cause little or no damage. The rocket or mortar attack came just hours after the U.S. military transferred control of the sprawling prison facility at Bagram to Afghan forces. As CBS News correspondent Charlie D’Agata reports, the transfer came with concerns, and 철원출장업소 some detainees will still be under U.S. watch. Also on Tuesday, Afghan police said a suicide...

SH: I am putting the finishing touches to my next psychological thriller, “Kind of Cruel,” and working on an outline for a TV series. In my head, I am also working on ideas for a self-help/popular psychology book for embarrassed British people, called ‘How to protect your physical and psychological boundaries without looking like an idiot in public’. JG: What surprised you the most during the writing process? SH: Two things really surprised me while I was writing “The Cradle in the Grave.” After all the research I did into the real-life cases of Clark, Cannings and Patel, I ended up none the wiser as to their respective guilt or innocence. I wasn’t even able to make a guess, in any of the three cases. There was plenty of evidence to support whatever story a person might want to tell. That was a little scary. Also, I found that I had sympathy for everyone involved. Doctors who send innocent women to prison for the murders of their babies don’t do it because they’re evil. They do it mistakenly, because they genuinely want to protect and defend children. And women who smother their babies don’t do it because they’re wicked, but rather because they’re desperate and ill. If society was more compassionate and less harshly judgmental, more people could admit to the mistakes they’d made and there would be fewer unsolved mysteries. JG: What would you be doing if you weren’t a writer? SH: I would either be a country singer in the style of Emmylou Harris or Nanci Griffith, or else I would be a psychotherapist – a bossy one, who would get cross if patients didn’t promise to leave their unsuitable partners and tell their controlling parents to get stuffed immediately.
