Haiti's Cedras to resign amid push for Aristide return
Haiti moves toward transitional power as Lt Gen Cedras and Bramby plan resignation after a year of military rule. Aristide's return is anticipated by Saturday, with U.S. pressure to exit and concerns over security. A simple transfer to Maj Gen Duperval is planned, while violence mars the weekend with the fatal beating of artist Stevenson Magloire and a deadly bus crash near a pro Aristide march.

After rare sightings in the Trent River, a manatee or perhaps two are being pursued around New Bern. The reported sighting on July 12 in River Bend draws attention to a list of 64 confirmed North Carolina sightings since 1919. River Keeper Rick Dove of the Neuse River Foundation leads the inland-water survey, noting the creature may seek warmer currents.

Property crimes rise faster than violent ones
Robyn L. Davis reports a State Bureau of Investigation study showing violent crimes rose 525 to 634 incidents between 1992 and 1993, while murders dropped from five to three and aggravated offenses edged up. Structured sentencing may curb violent crime but could increase nonviolent property crimes in Craven and Pamlico counties, say local officials.
