Twenty-eight-year-old Harve Johnson, of York, is charged with first-degree murder and other counts in the April 2008 death of Darisabel Baez, who died a day after she was taken to the hospital. Her mother, Neida Baez, pleaded guilty last month to third-degree murder as part of a plea bargain that calls for a five- to 10-year sentence. York police allege that Johnson beat the girl for 45 minutes to an hour, and an autopsy report calls the wounds "extensive and indicative of torture."]]></description><pubDate>Sun, 08 Nov 2009 15:42:59 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Legislature's Midterm Report Card: An Incomplete]]></title><guid>http://cbs3.com/wireapnewspa/Pa.Legislature.s.2.1298280.html</guid><link>http://cbs3.com/wireapnewspa/Pa.Legislature.s.2.1298280.html</link><description><![CDATA[Last Tuesday's voting marked the midpoint in Pennsylvania's two-year legislative cycle. For the next 12 months, nothing will happen in Harrisburg without incumbent lawmakers first thinking hard about their own looming re-election races and the contest to replace Gov. Ed Rendell. The conventional wisdom is that means not much at all is likely to happen. Campaign considerations — and the likelihood that tax revenues will continue to be anemic — raise the distinct possibility that the recently concluded Great Budget Drama of '09 was just the first act in a two-part battle of wills.]]></description><pubDate>Sun, 08 Nov 2009 14:50:10 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fort Victims Had Different Reasons For Enlisting]]></title><guid>http://cbs3.com/wireapnewspa/Fort.Hood.shooting.2.1297524.html</guid><link>http://cbs3.com/wireapnewspa/Fort.Hood.shooting.2.1297524.html</link><description><![CDATA[The 13 people killed when an Army psychiatrist allegedly opened fire on fellow soldiers at Fort Hood, Texas, included several people who shared the same profession as the alleged shooter, a father of three with ties to Laos whose family had a history of military service, a civilian who had returned to work a week after suffering a heart attack, and a psychiatric nurse who arrived at Fort Hood a day before the shooting.

"We made it. Not to our goal, not to the finish line. Certainly not any semblance of closure, but nevertheless, we made it to the next milestone of our journey," said Gordon Felt, whose brother, Edward Felt, was one of the 40 passengers and crew who died when the plane crashed into a field near rural Shanksville, about 65 miles southwest of Pittsburgh. The government intends to have the first phase completed by Sept. 11, 2011 — the terrorist attacks' 10th anniversary.]]></description><pubDate>Sun, 08 Nov 2009 03:26:33 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Talks In Philadelphia Transit Strike Break Off]]></title><guid>http://cbs3.com/wireapnewspa/Union.leader.Philly.2.1298004.html</guid><link>http://cbs3.com/wireapnewspa/Union.leader.Philly.2.1298004.html</link><description><![CDATA[Negotiations aimed at ending a transit strike in Philadelphia broke off Saturday night over disagreement on pensions and the impact of possible national health care overhaul, and Pennsylvania's governor walked away from the negotiations. "In my 32 years in government, I have never been more disappointed by a negotiation than I am right now tonight," Gov. Ed Rendell told reporters Saturday evening, flanked by Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter and negotiators for the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority. Rendell and U.S. Rep. Robert Brady, D-Pa., who brokered negotiations, had announced Friday night that the two sides had a tentative agreement, but the governor said the union raised as many as nine new issues Saturday that would have cost the transit authority an additional $7 million.]]></description><pubDate>Sun, 08 Nov 2009 03:01:56 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Engine Fire Grounds Delta Plane In Atlanta]]></title><guid>http://cbs3.com/wireapnewspa/Delta.plane.headed.2.1298673.html</guid><link>http://cbs3.com/wireapnewspa/Delta.plane.headed.2.1298673.html</link><description><![CDATA[A company spokesman says a Delta plane headed to Philadelphia had to return to the gate just before takeoff from Atlanta because of an engine fire.

Combat stress. Divorce. Suicide. For troubled service members, military therapists are at their sides. But with the U.S. fighting two wars, an acute shortage of trained personnel has left these therapists emotionally drained and overworked, with limited time to prepare for their own war deployments. An Army psychiatrist is suspected in the shootings at Fort Hood, Texas, and the rampage is raising questions about whether there's enough help for the helpers, even though it's unclear whether that stress or fear of his pending service in Afghanistan might be to blame.]]></description><pubDate>Sat, 07 Nov 2009 22:08:36 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Md.'s 'Senior Idol' Will Include Pa.
