Four and a half years of studies and five failed votes in the House later, exactly where are we with the Keystone XL pipeline? Stuck on the US-Canadian border where it is likely to remain until mid-2013 despite the headline-grabbing issuance of one of three permits to begin construction in Texas for the smaller and much less controversial portion of the pipeline.

Lake Buena Vista, Fla. -- The Baltimore Orioles Wednesday disavowed comments made by designated hitter Luke Scott alleging President Barack Obama wasn't born in the United States.
Scott, in an interview with Yahoo! Sports at baseball's annual winter meetings, said Obama "does not represent America" and that "he was not born here," echoing the beliefs of the conservative group known as "birthers."
"Luke Scott's comments do not reflect the opinion of the Baltimore Orioles organization," Orioles Communications Director Greg Bader said in an e-mail to MLB.com. "The fact is that Barack Obama is our president, duly elected by the people of the United States. End of story."

New York -- U.S. markets closed flat Tuesday, failing to hold early gains prompted by a compromise tax plan announced by President Barack Obama.
The White House agreed with Republicans to extend the George W. Bush-era tax cuts for two years for all wage earners, even those earning above $250,000 per year. In return, Republicans agreed to an extension of jobless benefits for workers out of a job for extended periods.
Obama said millions of jobs were at stake. If the tax cuts ended for the middle class, jobs would be lost. With the tax cuts in place, millions of jobs were saved, he said.

New York -- President Barack Obama and market analysts praised U.S. automaker General Motor Co.'s return to public life Thursday.
"Two years ago this seemed impossible," Obama said, recalling GM's slide that coincided with the historic recession that officially began in December 2007 and hit bottom with the company's fall into bankruptcy in the summer of 2009.
The comeback was palpable when GM earned $2 billion in profits in the third quarter. On Thursday, GM jumped back into life as a publicly traded company, raising $15.8 billion in an initial public offering that began with a price of $33 per share, ending the day at $34.19 per share with a midday peak at $35.99, The Wall Street Journal reported.

New York -- U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Salvatore Giunta, the first living recipient of the Medal of Honor in 40 years, is to appear on "Late Show with David Letterman," CBS said.
Giunta will be interviewed on the Nov. 24 edition of the show, the network announced Wednesday.
U.S. President Barack Obama awarded Giunta the Medal of Honor at a ceremony Tuesday for his heroic efforts in Afghanistan three years ago, putting himself in the line of fire in October 2007 to try to save his squadmates and to protect and comfort a dying soldier after they were ambushed in the Korengal Valley.
Giunta is the first living service member to receive the Medal of Honor for action in any war since Vietnam, CBS noted.
