(CBS News) KABUL – Civilian casualties caused by the conflict in Afghanistan dropped 15 percent during the first six months of this year, according to a United Nations report, though the international body described these gains as a “hollow trend” and said the conflict in the country continued to take “an unacceptable toll on Afghan men and women.” “The United Nations welcomes the reduction in civilian casualties, but we must remember that Afghan children, women and men continue to be killed and injured at alarmingly high levels,” said Nicholas Haysom, deputy U.N. special representative of the secretary-general in Afghanistan. “I call on all parties to increase their efforts to protect civilians from harm and to respect the sanctity of human life.” More in Afghanistan: The way forward According to the report, there were 3,099 civilian casualties, including 1,145 deaths, during the first six months of 2012. Thirty percent of those killed or wounded were women and children.

(CBS) On “The Tonight Show” Thursday Roseanne Barr said she’s running for president. Of the United States. For real. “You know, Jay,” said Barr, “I decided that since you’re the one that got Arnold Schwarzenegger elected as governor of California that I wanted to make my announcement here on your show because I really want to ask for your support. My announcement is that I am running for president of the United States.” After she made the announcement, ticker tape fell from above and then Barr joked she also wanted to be prime minister of Israel. “I want to represent the taxpayers,” she said, “and in fact, I’m choosing the taxpayers as my vice president.” Barr credited Palin with her decision to do a reality show (Barr stars in “Roseanne’s Nuts” on Lifetime, about her macadamia and livestock farm). “I feel like she’s stealing my act anyway,” said Barr. Among Barr’s platforms are eliminating taxes, forgiving all student loans and eliminating the monetary system in the United States. And she claims she’s serious, sending out a tweet about her decision.

(CBS) A guitar. A voice. Sometimes that’s all a musician needs to lift the listener to a higher place. Smart lyrics help, too, and Robin Bacior has them. On “Headless Sheep,” she sings about two subjects – a relationship and an unpleasant flight – using direct, uncomplicated imagery. The result is a song that makes listeners feel as if they’re floating through the clouds (but having a much better go of it than Bacior’s protagonist). (Scroll down to listen to “Headless Sheep”) Bacior’s voice is the focus here. She’s upfront in the mix, singing with a sweet tone and using layers of harmonies that belie a tough spirit in the lyrics. The few other songs on Bacior’s site fall loosely under the banner of folk or alt-country, but these are definitely pop songs, just with folk-ish instrumentation, including what sounds like upright piano and slide dobro. The 24-year-old has a full-length, “Rest Our Wings,” coming out Nov. 1 on Consonants & Vowels. She has a couple live dates scheduled on the east coast in August before embarking on a west coast tour in September. Read more about Bacior here. Hat tip to @zeitgeisler.
