<description><![CDATA[ (Dec 26, 2011) Last week, the Vatican declared that a Washington state boy&apos;s recovery from a deadly and debilitating illness was a miracle.  The Pope signed documents attributing 11-year-old Jake Finkbonner&apos;s survival to the intercession of Kateri Tekakwitha. She was a 17th century Mohawk woman who lived in what is now Upstate New York and who converted to Catholicism.The Pope&apos;s decision moves Kateri one step closer to full sainthood.  Last week, Bishop Terry LaValley, head of the Diocese of Ogdensburg, issued a statement  saying &quot;we eagerly await that day when the church declares that she is numbered among the saints in heaven.&quot;Back in April, NPR&apos;s religion corrrespondent, Barbara Bradley-Hagerty, examined the process by which the Vatican decides which miracles are authentic.

<title>Top Story: Aubertine and Griffo hope for reform in state Senate</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/13955/20090712/top-story-aubertine-and-griffo-hope-for-reform-in-state-senate</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Jul 12, 2009) It was a quiet weekend in Albany. The first since a Republican-led coup on June 8th left the state Senate evenly split and unable to pass crucial bills on local budgets and jobs. The rancor that came to characterize daily &quot;extraordinary sessions&quot;—and the entire month-long standoff—ended when dissident Democrat Pedro Espada rejoined his party. Now, as Jonathan Brown reports, Senators on both sides of the aisle are hoping to see something good come from the past month of political infighting.

<description><![CDATA[ (Nov 20, 2008) President-elect Barack Obama says he&apos;ll close Guantanamo Bay, ban torture, and begin a withdrawal of U.S. soldiers from Iraq.
