[CNN与你同行] 电视女皇为奥巴马助选

ID Me
CARL AZUZ, CNN STUDENT NEWS: See if you can I.D. Me! I'm a body of water located in the northeastern Atlantic Ocean. You'll find me between Britain and Norway. Part of my name is a compass direction. I'm the North Sea! The English Channel and the Strait of Dover are my links to the Atlantic Ocean.

First Up: Canoe Man Arrest
LLOYD: And that sea is where John Darwin was thought to have drowned in 2002. But if you were with us last week, you know that the British man reappeared recently in London. Now, Darwin and his wife have been arrested. Detectives want to talk to both of them about where Darwin's been for the last five years and find out if any laws have been broken. Owen Thomas explains the latest developments in this story.

OWEN THOMAS, CNN REPORTER: Anne Darwin, now in custody after she flew in from Atlanta to the UK on Saturday morning. Police investigating accusations of fraud have been stressing how they wanted to speak to her after John Darwin apparently came back from the dead.
She'll be questions about press interviews she's given over the past few days where it was claimed she and her husband had secretly been living together for the past three years, apparently unbeknown to anyone, including their grown-up sons. It's a case that continues to grip Britain. John Darwin, a former prison officer, disappeared in what appeared to be a canoeing accident close to his home in the Northeast of England back in 2002. Within 24 hours, the oars were found, and two months later the canoe itself was washed up. Despite a big air and sea rescue operation, no body was ever found. He was officially declared dead a year later.

But there was astonishment last Saturday when he walked into a police station claiming amnesia, that he had no idea of the events of the past five years. Detectives investigated his story, felt there were some inconsistencies, and later arrested him. On Saturday, he was charged with two offenses: that he lied to obtain a passport and that he obtained a money transfer by deception. Anne Darwin, the former doctor's receptionist, returned to Britain via the states from Panama. Now, she'll be able to give the police her side of the story. A decision will be made in due course as to whether she has any charges to answer.

While Anne Darwin continues to be questioned by police, her husband John will appear in court later on Monday to answer the two charges against him. His sudden reappearance has caused surprise and much speculation here in the UK. And the public's appetite to find out more about just who knew what and when shows no sign of abating.

Launch Scrubbed
LLOYD: Back in the U.S. now, the space shuttle Atlantis is staying on the ground until at least after the New Year. It was supposed to launch into orbit last Thursday and deliver a European laboratory to the international space station. John Zarrella explains the cause of the delay.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
JOHN ZARRELLA, CNN REPORTER: As they were filling the giant external tank of liquid hydrogen and oxygen, there are four hydrogen sensors down at the bottom of this tank. Two of those sensors failed, so the launch was scrubbed on Thursday. NASA decided that they would give it another go, but the rule was if any of the four sensors failed, that would be it, they wouldn't try again. Well, in fact, here are the four sensors here on this plate, this shock plate. And as they began filling the liquid hydrogen and as it rose above these sensors, sensor number three did fail again, one of the same two sensors that failed on Thursday. So immediately, the launch was scrubbed. Mission managers met. They have decided what they are going to do is put together an emergency troubleshooting team that will then report back to the management team by Tuesday some recommendations on where to go next. Possibility out there that they might have to roll the shuttle Atlantis back into the Vehicle Assembly Building. But at this point, that would be the last option they would resort to, trying to preserve options to get off the ground as early in January as they can, if they can isolate the problem, get to the root cause and fix it out at the launch pad.

Word to the Wise
AZUZ: A Word to the Wise...
endorsement (noun) official approval; support

Combining Power
LLOYD: And with the race for the White House heating up, you're probably going to hear a lot about political endorsements between now and the election. Now, if you or I announce that we're supporting a particular candidate, people might not pay too much attention. But when someone famous does it, that's a whole different story, especially if the endorsement comes from the woman considered to be the world's most powerful celebrity. But does star-powered support always translate into a White House win? Josh Levs looks at the answer.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
JOSH LEVS, CNN REPORTER: It's the political marriage rocking the presidential race: the first-term senator and the... well, Oprah. But is all the talk about this media magnate's potential effect overblown? Celebrities are good for fundraising, but political history is littered with failed attempts to include a dash of star power in a recipe for victory. Tommy Lee Jones' nominating speech at the 2000 Democratic National Convention didn't exactly skyrocket his one-time Harvard roommate. Still, it seems everybody's doing it.
MIKE HUCKABEE, (R) PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: Two words: Chuck Norris.
LEVS: Oprah Winfrey may be in a league of her own, but a poll suggests her endorsement alone did not change the race. In September, 15 percent said it made them more likely to support Obama; just as many said it made them less likely. The rest said it had no impact. Many assume she is swaying other people; 60 percent said her endorsement would help Obama. Now, Oprah is the draw to get people in early states to hear him. If his poll numbers jump, should we expect his chief rival to pull out her own mega-star supporter?
BARBARA STREISAND, SINGING: Here I am.
LEVS: Free Streisand concerts in Iowa and New Hampshire, perhaps? No talk of that. Senator Clinton does have a political rock star stumping for her. Among those hoping the political scene does not become a celebrity slug-fest is this guy. As Pat Sajak spells it out, "the idea of choosing the leader of the free world based on the advice of someone who lives in the cloistered world of stardom seems a bit loony."

CNN Heroes
LLOYD: Let's talk about something you do at school every day: learn! We all have different ways of learning things. Some people understand an idea better if they can see it. And for others, hearing the explanation of a new concept is what makes it click for them. Well, Kayla Cornale developed a way to learn using music. But the 18-year-old didn't do it for herself. She came up with the new method to help her cousin.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
KAYLA CORNALE, CNN HERO: My cousin Lorena, she is 11 years old and she is diagnosed with a form of autism. I knew that sometimes at family gatherings, she would not want to talk to others, or she'd be to herself or just little things like that. But I just saw that she had an interest in music. She might not necessarily remember something that you'd say to her, but she'd remember songs lyrics.
GRAPHIC: About one child out of 150 is born with autism.
CORNALE: So I thought, if she likes music, why don't I create something that she likes already? And then she can build upon that. My name is Kayla Cornale, and I'm from Burlington, Ontario, Canada.

I thought that if I could maybe teach her a few letters of the alphabet, or teach her a little bit about the emotions and how to express herself, she'd feel better about herself. And we'd all be able to interact with her better, because she's got a great sense of humor; she is a very fun kid to be around.

That's what kind of drove me to take a different route. And I thought maybe I could take the 26 letters of the alphabet and just place them on the central 26 keys of the piano keyboard. So, to identify each letter now with a sound rather than just an isolated symbol that you can't really have any feeling for.

After working a year exclusively on the piano keys, I saw that she had now mastered the alphabet. So, I moved to the computer keyboard.
GRAPHIC: Kayla's "Sounds Into Syllables" is currently being tested in three Ontario school districts.
CORNALE: I started to implement the use of animation, bringing this to the computer. And when I did that, she just, boom, immediately had a lot of interest in it. And we got to the point where she could just sit down at the computer for over an hour. And I had to tell her that the lesson was over; she'd want to keep going.
