\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Chris Warrener took over as special agent in charge of the FBI’s

\nSomali community, which grabbed headlines in recent years after

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 WASHINGTON (AP) – Both presidential candidates are looking to
\nscore political points from today’s Labor Department report.<\/p>\n
It showed that the jobless rate increased to 8.3 percent, but that the
\neconomy added 163,000 jobs last month.<\/p>\n
President Barack Obama pointed to a 29th straight month of private sector growth, but said there are still too many people without jobs.<\/p>\n
Mitt Romney says the higher jobless rate underscores the real struggles faced by people across the country.<\/p>\n
He’s blaming Obama’s health care law and burdensome regulations.

\nthe president to delay looming cuts in military and domestic
\nspending for at least one year.<\/p>\n
He said during a campaign trip to Las Vegas today that the cuts would be “terrible,” particularly for the military. Congress approved the cuts as part of a deal to reduce the deficit.<\/p>\n
They were designed to help lawmakers come up with a better plan. But that didn’t happen – so the cuts are scheduled to go into effect next year.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 FORT HOOD, Texas (AP) – A military judge is again holding the
\nFort Hood shooting suspect in contempt of court, for showing up at
\na pretrial hearing with the beard he had been ordered to shave.
\nMaj. Nidal Hasan, an Army psychiatrist, was fined $1,000 for a
\nsecond time, and was sent to a nearby trailer to watch the hearing
\non closed-circuit TV.<\/p>\n
\u00a0Beards are a violation of army regulations, but Hasan’s attorneys say he believes shaving would violate his Muslim faith.<\/p>\n
The judge has said Hasan will be forcibly shaved at some point before his trial later this month if he doesn’t have the beard removed himself.
