(CNN) -- Despite a report Tuesday of possible hazardous materials at a mail facility at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling in the nation's capital, no suspicious packages or letters were located, a Defense Intelligence Agency spokesman said . The agency's mail-screening equipment alerted officials to the possible presence of a hazardous substance. Preliminary tests indicated it was a possible biotoxin, officials said earlier. But after an on-scene investigation, it was determined there was no threat, Lt. Col. Thomas F. Veale, an agency spokesman, said. The FBI has taken samples and will conduct further testing, he said. CNN's Carol Cratty and Greg Seaby contributed to this report.

New York (CNN) -- Talks between the National Hockey League and the locked-out players' association are expected to resume Tuesday, according to a source close to the negotiations. The league had canceled regular season games through October 24 after unsuccessful negotiations over a collective bargaining agreement. The last time the NHL canceled preseason games was in 2004, which preceded a year-long lockout of the players by the owners. The regular season had been scheduled to begin Thursday.

(CNN) -- Actor or actuary? What is the best job in the world? According to U.S. job site CareerCast, it's the latter. The company has ranked a list of 200 jobs to find the "best" based on four criteria: work environment, income, hiring outlook and stress levels. Most of the statistics used to create the rankings came from U.S. government agencies. Dominating the top 10 spots are health-care sector jobs, which are expected to grow as the American population ages. On the other end of the spectrum, the lowest ranked job is newspaper reporter, reflecting the continuing decline of print media, followed by lumberjack, enlisted military personnel, actor and oil rig worker. Would you rather compile statistics than tread the boards? What do you think constitutes the "best" job? Have your say in the comments, below.

(CNN) -- Rapper Fat Joe has been "officially cleared" after Wisconsin police investigated an alleged sexual assault reported by a woman last weekend, according to his lawyer. The 33-year-old Madison, Wisconsin, woman called police with a complaint of "inappropriate touching" after Fat Joe -- whose real name is Joseph Cartagena -- performed at the city's Orpheum Theater on Sunday night, a police report said. The woman said the incident happened inside a limousine with Fat Joe and other male subjects, the police report said. "Fat Joe had no contact with and never spoke to his accuser," attorney Dawn Florio said in a statement Thursday night. "He was questioned for a few minutes at his hotel room and was never detained by the police." CNN's Denise Quan contributed to this report.

(CNN) -- Ask any parent one of the topics they spend the most time thinking about, worrying about, OK, obsessing about, and they are very likely to say social media. I, for one, am already freaking out about the issue, and my kids, ages 6 and 7, are still too young to participate. What conversations do parents have with their kids about social media? Do they talk about the risks? How do they monitor what their kids are doing? We focus so much on the negative, but are there positive aspects to kids spending so much of their time on social media networks? Those were just some of the topics we covered during a lively #CNNParents Twitter chat on teens and social media that actually trended nationally for some time.

(CNN) -- Pilots of the Air France flight that crashed in 2009 and plummeted 38,000 ft in just three minutes and 30 seconds, lost vital speed data, France's Bureau of Investigation and Analysis (BEA) said Friday. Pilots on the aircraft got conflicting air speeds in the minutes leading up to the crash, the interim reports states. Air crash investigators at the Paris-based BEA have been working on the theory that the speed sensors, known as pitot tubes or probes, malfunctioned because of ice at high altitude. Since the accident, Air France has replaced the pitots on its Airbus fleet with a newer model.

A 7.1-magnitude earthquake struck just over 150 kilometers (93 miles) northwest off the coast of Ternate, Indonesia, on Saturday, the U.S. Geological Survey reported. The quake struck at 10:31 a.m. local time at a depth of 35 kilometers (21.7 miles), according to the USGS, which initially called it a 7.3-magnitude quake. It was centered 156 kilometers east-northeast of Bitung, Indonesia, and 164 kilometers west of Tobelo in the same South Asian nation. The National Weather Service's Pacific Tsunami Warning Center noted that the quake did not produce any destructive tsunami waves, though minor sea level fluctuations in some coastal areas were possible.

NEW DELHI, India (CNN) -- Doctors say an encephalitis outbreak has killed 130 people -- mostly children -- in northern India since January. The outbreak of acute encephalitis -- an inflammation of brain tissue -- is mostly concentrated in eastern parts of Uttar Pradesh, said V.S. Nigam, the state's nodal officer for tackling the disease. He told CNN that 640 patients had tested positive for the infection, including 30 with Japanese encephalitis, which is spread by mosquitoes. Acute encephalitis can be spread in various ways, including a bacterial or viral infection; the ingesting of toxic substances; and complications of a disease. The disease has mostly struck children up to 15 years old, Nigam added.

(CNN) -- Two people were injured when a parcel bomb exploded on Thursday in the offices of a Swiss umbrella group for the nuclear industry, police said. The incident occurred in the offices of Swissnuclear in the town of Olten. The pair suffered minor injuries and were taken to a hospital. Police are investigating and Swissnuclear could not be immediately reached for comment. Matthieu Buchs, spokesman of the Swiss Federal Office of Energy, confirmed that the approval process for three new nuclear power plants had been stopped because of the disaster in Japan. Safety standards will be reviewed in all existing nuclear power plants, he said. Buchs also said Switzerland derives 39.3% of its electricity from nuclear energy. Nuclear energy makes up 10% of the overall production of energy in the country, he said. Journalist Roman Lehberger contributed to this report.

Rome (CNN) -- An apparently agitated passenger attacked a flight attendant on Alitalia Flight 329 from Paris to Rome late Sunday and asked that the flight be diverted to Tripoli, Libya, the airline said. Other flight attendants immobilized the attacker, Alitalia said, and the plane and its 131 passengers landed safely at Rome's Fiumicino airport, where the attacker was taken into police custody. The flight attendant was taken to the airport emergency room for a check-up, the airline said.

(EW.com) -- Chris Renaud, the codirector of "Despicable Me," turns the 1971 Dr. Seuss book into "The Lorax," a candy-colored feel-good anticonsumerist musical. It's got a winningly whimsical Seussian spirit, though it could have used a pinch of his doggerel-driven anarchy. (Seuss' brilliantly playful language? Not there.) Zac Efron nicely voices Ted, a boy who wonders why there are no trees in Thneedville. His foray outside the city walls leads him to the Once-ler (Ed Helms), a hipster who found a paradise of trees that look like furry lollipops, then cut them all down to get rich. The movie is like a less original "WALL•E," but it's still vibrant and touching. B+ . See the full article at EW.com.

Havana, Cuba (CNN) -- Cuba on Thursday denounced the U.S. decision to again include the island nation on its list of state sponsors of terrorism. Earlier in the day, the U.S. State Department in its annual report on terrorism named four countries on its 2009 list: Iran, Sudan, Syria and Cuba. "We categorically reject the decision," said Josefina Vidal, the head of the North America Department at Cuba's Foreign Ministry. "Yet again, the United States questions the seriousness of our commitment to the fight against international terrorism and maintains one of the most irrational aspects that constitute its hostile policy on Cuba," she said in a statement. The State Department accused Cuba of assisting members of Colombian rebel groups and Spain's ETA, who live on the island.

Islamabad, Pakistan (CNN) -- A suspected U.S. drone strike in Pakistan's tribal region on Wednesday killed 23 suspected militants, intelligence officials told CNN. Two Pakistani intelligence officials said the suspected drone fired four missiles at a militant training center in the area of Roya Naray in North Waziristan, one of the seven districts of Pakistan's volatile tribal region bordering Afghanistan. The intelligence officials asked not to be named because they said they are not authorized to speak to journalists. Based on a count by the CNN Islamabad bureau, Wednesday's suspected drone strike was the 32nd this year. CNN's Nasir Habib contributed to this report .

Dafniya, Libya (CNN) -- Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi's forces fired mortars and guns at rebel forces in an apparent effort to break through a stalemated line west of the rebel-held city of Misrata on Sunday, CNN's Ben Wedeman reported from the scene. Rebels returned fire, and while some pulled back to seek cover from the incoming artillery shells, others moved forward toward the front line near the town of Dafniya, about 35 kilometers west of Misrata. Libya has been in the throes of a civil war for months, since Gadhafi dug in his heels against popular efforts to force him out of power as anti-government protests sweep the Arab world this year.

New Delhi, India (CNN) -- A man took off his sandal and charged toward Suresh Kalmadi, the chief organizer of last year's Commonwealth Games, as the arrested official arrived for a court hearing Tuesday. Police immediately overpowered the attacker as officers hurried Kalmadi to the courtroom. The attacker was identified as a former lawyer. Kalmadi was arrested Monday on corruption charges in connection with the October 2010 Games in the Indian capital. Officials contend that Kalmadi, as head of the games' organizing committee, bought a score-keeping system from a Swiss company at "inflated costs." He denies wrongdoing. In February, investigators arrested two other senior officials involved in organizing the Commonwealth Games. They were taken into custody for the same suspected over-priced purchase of the score-keeping system.

(CNN) -- Shia LaBeouf is finally telling the full story of how he got arrested at a Broadway production of "Cabaret," and it's worth every minute. On "Jimmy Kimmel Live" on Monday, the actor recounted one of the low points of what's been a rough year: In June, he was arrested for "refusing to leave a theatrical performance when asked, for creating unreasonable noise and using obscene language outside of Studio 54, and for spitting at a police officer at the Midtown North police precinct." That's not at all funny, but somehow LaBeouf was able to turn what he's admitted was a "scary" moment into a winding tale with some levity. Shia LaBeouf explains Shia LaBeouf . Since his arrest, LaBeouf has agreed to a plea deal that includes the stipulation he continue to receive treatment for alcohol addiction.

NEW DELHI, India (CNN) -- At least 43 people are feared dead after a massive mudslide swept away three hamlets in northern India, authorities said Sunday. Two small villages were completely destroyed Saturday while one was partially knocked down, said Manoj Pande, a senior disaster management official in Pithoragarh district. Rescuers have pulled 15 bodies from the debris and many more may have been swept into the river, Pande said. More than 2.9 million people in India have been affected by floods since June, according to federal officials. Yearly monsoon rains sweep across the subcontinent from June till September. Though they bring much-needed relief to often-parched farmlands, they also leave a trail of landslides, home collapses and often fatal floods.

Montserrat Serra and Blanca Thiebaut are safe and healthy, the group said in a written statement, adding that it is working to return the two Spanish women to their homes. They were abducted from the Dadaab refugee camp in Kenya -- one of the world's largest refugee complexes -- on October 13, 2011. Their driver was shot in the neck and taken to a hospital in stable condition. At the time of their kidnapping, Serrat, of Girona, was 40, and Thiebaut, of Madrid, was 30, the group said. As a result of the attack in which they were abducted, the MSF had to stop some crucial medical activities, the group said at the time.

(CNN) -- A 36-year-old crew member on a Disney Cruise Line ship was arrested in a Florida port on Thursday on suspicion of molestation and false imprisonment, officials said. Disney said it notified police about an incident that was alleged to have occurred Thursday morning while the ship was at Port Canaveral. Canaveral Port Authority Police said Ahmed Sofyan faces two charges of lewd or lascivious molestation and one charge of false imprisonment. The alleged victim is 13 years old and doesn't know the suspect, police said. Disney said the man was fired. "We have no tolerance whatsoever for the behavior alleged in this incident," said Karl Holz, president of Disney Cruise Line. It was unclear if Sofyan, who police say is from Indonesia, has a lawyer. He was taken to the Brevard County jail.

(CNN) -- Anti-terror police in Denmark say they have arrested two brothers, one of whom trained at a terror camp in Somalia. The pair is suspected of "planning a terrorist act by, among other activities, having discussed the method, the target and the weapon types to be used," the Danish Security and Intelligence Service, known as PET, said late Monday. "PET believes that a specific act of terrorism has been averted," the agency said. The Somali-Danish men are due to appear in court on Tuesday. One was arrested as he flew into Copenhagen airport and the other was seized at his residence in the city of Aarhus, the security force said. The brothers, 18 and 23, are Danish citizens of Somali origin who have lived in the Aarhus region for 16 years, PET said, without naming them.

(CNN) -- In one of the most memorable status updates we've seen in a while, a Taiwanese tourist in Melbourne, Australia, was so absorbed in Facebook that she walked off the end of St. Kilda pier and plunged into the chilly waters of Port Phillip Bay. Called to the scene by a quick-thinking witness, police arrived to find "the distressed woman, floundering in the water." Police rescued the woman who, in addition to not being able to watch where she was going, reportedly couldn't swim. Police say the woman in her mid 30s was in the water for about 20 minutes. "There will be no need for a lost property report as the woman kept hold of her mobile phone throughout the entire ordeal," said a Victoria Police media officer.

Jakarta, Indonesia (CNN) -- Indonesian officials have gone on high alert and have started evacuations as they warily monitor Mount Merapi, a volatile volcano in central Java that might erupt at any time. "The local government is coordinating to evacuate around 40,000 villagers to the pre-assigned shelters," Neulis Auliasari of the national disaster coordination board said Monday. Seismic activity has intensified, signaling that an eruption is imminent, according to Indonesian volcanologists. The 3,000-meter Merapi is famously unpredictable, though. A pyroclastic flow -- a fast-moving burst of blistering gases and rock fragments -- is a key concern. One killed two people in 2006 and another killed more than 60 villagers in 1994. About 1,300 people died when Merapi erupted in 1930.

Grappling with drought conditions, California officials on Tuesday approved statewide emergency water restrictions. The restrictions are the first of their kind statewide, California Water Board spokesman George Kostyrko said, and will affect lawn watering, car washing, hosing down driveways and ornamental fountains. Infractions could bring a fine of $500 per day. Gov. Jerry Brown declared a drought emergency for California in January. State officials say last year was one of California's driest years ever.

(CNN)) -- He's one of a new generation of African leaders, championing a free market, stronger ties to the West and the ultimate unification of Africa. Kikwete was elected president of Tanzania with 80 percent of the vote in 2005, and maintains strong support at home and abroad. However he faces some tough challenges combating poverty and growing Tanzania's economy. But ultimately he says his mission is focused and simple: "Essentially it is service to the people of Tanzania; this is my interest."

(CNN) -- Flash flooding ravaged areas around Afghanistan's capital, killing more than 70 people and destroying dozens of houses, a local leader said Saturday. Additionally, President Hamid Karzai's office said in a news release that seven others were killed in eastern Nuristan and Khost provinces due to floods. The worst-hit area appears to have been the Sorubi district, located in Kabul province. Fast-moving waters washed away small villages in this area, according to community leader Malek Samad. The water destroyed a hospital and its ambulance, many shops and vehicles, not to mention wiping out hundreds of cattle. "So far, we have been able to find the dead bodies of 13 people from the Kabul River that passes through the area," Samad said. "And we are sure that the rest are all dead."

(CNN) -- Scientists are studying what caused tsunami-like waves that observers spotted near the New Jersey coast earlier this month. "The source is complex and still under review," the National Weather Service's West Coast/Alaska Tsunami Warning Center says on its website. In New Jersey's Barnegat Inlet, a fisherman said he saw a massive, 6-foot-tall wave surging toward the coast on June 13. Tsunami-like waves were observed at more than 30 tide gauges in areas along the East Coast, the center said. Meteorological factors and the slumping of the continental shelf east of New Jersey may have played a role, the center said.

(CNN)Uma Thurman not only has a new project, she also has a new look. The 44-year-old actress looked quite different when she recently walked the red carpet for the premiere of her new NBC miniseries, "The Slap." Thurman wore minimal makeup and her blonde hair tucked behind her ears. Her appearance set off an onslaught of comments similar to when actress Renee Zellweger raised eyebrows in October by looking little like she did during her "Bridget Jones" days. Renee Zellweger: 'I'm glad folks think I look different' The coverage of Thurman's new look has ranged from the Daily Mail headline "What has Uma Thurman done to her face?" to Hollywood Life writing that the actress is now "nearly unrecognizable." "I know I look weird," Thurman told Savannah Guthrie of the "Today" show when asked about all the hoopla. "I don't know, I guess nobody liked my makeup."

(CNN) -- A man snowmobiling in Montana died when an avalanche buried him near Big Sky resort, authorities said. Rescue crews were called to the scene after the incident Wednesday afternoon. The man in his 40s was in a group of three snowmobile drivers who triggered the avalanche, said Sheriff Brian Gootkin of Gallatin County. The others suffered minor injuries. The county was under an avalanche warning after 8 inches of snow that was preceded by rain Tuesday evening. "It was not a good recipe," Gootkin said. Authorities suspended recovery efforts for the night and will send a helicopter Thursday morning to retrieve the body. The man's name has not been released.

(CNN) -- A school bus wreck killed a young child on the bus and the bus driver Monday in Indianapolis, officials said. Ten other children were injured, including two critically, according to the Indianapolis Fire Department. The girl killed in the wreck was estimated to be 5 or 6 years old. The wreck happened just before 8 a.m. on Emerson Avenue in southeastern Indianapolis, the fire department said. An investigation into the cause of the accident is under way. Witnesses said they saw nothing unusual before the bus hit an abutment beneath a concrete overpass, according to fire department spokeswoman Rita Burris.

New Delhi, India (CNN) -- Seventeen people died after drinking a toxic, illegal home-brewed liquor over the New Years weekend in southern India, authorities said Monday. At least 18 people were also poisoned by what authorities have described as contaminated moonshine in Andhra Pradesh's Krishna district, P.V.S. Ramkrishna, the district police chief, said. Police in India have been cracking down recently on businesses selling the illegally-made alcohol, Ramkrishna said. In December, authorities arrested 10 people for making contaminated moonshine that left at least 168 people dead in the Indian state of West Bengal. Hundreds more were sickened by it, authorities said. Moonshine is not uncommon in poverty-stricken communities in India because it is cheap to make.

(CNN) -- Norwegian prosecutors have asked that alleged mass killer Anders Breivik be transferred to a psychiatric institution because they believe he is mentally ill, a spokeswoman for the prosecutor's office told CNN. If that does not happen, prosecutors will ask for 21 years of prison for Breivik. Norway's Breivik gives chilling account of gun massacre . Breivik is on trial on charges of voluntary homicide and committing acts of terror in the July 22, 2011, attacks. He has admitted carrying out an attack on a youth camp on Utoya Island that killed 69 people and a bombing in Oslo that killed eight. He boasts of being an ultranationalist who killed his victims to fight multiculturalism in Norway. Last month, Breivik promised that he would not appeal if a court finds him sane and guilty.
