Thousands have remained in Tahrir Square and some want to keep up the pressure for immediate steps, including repeal of repressive emergency laws that give police broad power. As Egypt embarked on its new path one of great hope but also deep uncertainty the impact of its historic revolt and an earlier uprising in Tunisia was evident in a region where democratic reform has made few inroads. Yemeni police clashed Sunday with protesters seeking the ouster of the U.S.-backed president, and opposition groups planned a rally in Bahrain today. Demonstrators also have pushed for change in Jordan and Algeria, inspired by the popular revolt centered in downtown Cairo. While some protesters said they are willing to give the ruling council a chance to fulfill pledges to move the nation toward democracy, communication between their movement and the military has been minimal.

BY SARAH EL DEEB AND MAGGIE MICHAEL Associated Press CAIRO Egypt's military rulers took sweeping action to dismantle the autocratic legacy of former President Hosni Mubarak on Sunday, dissolving parliament, suspending the constitution and promising elections in moves cautiously welcomed by pro-democracy protesters. The caretaker government, backed by the military, said restoring security after the 18-day uprising that ousted Mubarak was a top priority even as labor unrest reflected one of the many challenges of steering the Arab world's biggest nation toward stability and democracy. Egypt's upheaval also was splintering into a host of smaller grievances, the inevitable outcome of emboldened citizens feeling free to speak up, most for the first time. They even included about 2,000 police, widely hated for brutality and corruption under Mubarak, who marched to the Interior Ministry to demand better pay and conditions. They passed through the protest camp at Tahrir Square, where demonstrators hurled insults, calling them "pigs" and "dogs." Egypt's state news agency announced banks would be closed today because of strikes and again Tuesday for a public holiday.

Dozens of employees protested against alleged corruption at the state television building, which broadcast pro-Mubarak messages during the massive demonstrations against his rule. The caretaker government met for the first time, and employees removed a huge frame photograph of Mubarak from the meeting room before they convened. The crowds in the protest encampment that became a symbol of defiance against the government thinned out Sunday the first working day since the regime fell. Traffic flowed through downtown area for the first time in weeks. Troops cleared most of the makeshift tents and scuffled with holdout activists.

The protesters have been pressing the ruling military council, led by Defense Minister Hussein Tantawi, to immediately move forward with the lion, according to an Office of Management and Budget summary. That document also said the budget would cut the Pentagon's spending plans during the next decade by $78 billion with reductions in various weapons programs deemed unnecessary including the C-17 aircraft, the alternative engine for the Joint Strike Fighter aircraft and the Marine expeditionary vehicle. The OMB document also listed $1 billion in cuts in grants for large airports, almost $1 billion in a reduction in support to states for water treatment plants and other infrastructure programs and savings from consolidating public health programs run by the Center for Disease Control and various U.S. Forest Service programs. The administration also will propose saving $100 billion from Pell Grants' and other higher education programs in a decade through belt-tightening with the savings used to keep the maximum college financial aid award at $5,550, according to an administration official who spoke on condition of anonymity in advance of the budget's release today.

The OMB summary said the $1.1 trillion deficit savings would reduce the deficit as a percentage of the total economy to 3 percent of GDP. by the middle of this decade. The deficit is projected by the Congressional Budget Office to surge to an all-time high of $1.5 trillion this year, which would be 9.8 percent of the economy and mark the third consecutive $1 trillion-plus budget gap. The surging deficits re-. fleet the deep 2007-2009 recession, which cut into government tax revenues as millions were thrown out of work and prompted massive government spending to jump-start economic growth and stabilize the banking system.

Republicans scored significant victories in the November elections by attacking the soaring deficits while the Obama administration argued the spending was needed to keep the country from falling into an even deeper economic slump. BUDGET from i deficit-cutting goal fell far short of the $4 trillion in deficit cuts outlined by the president's own deficit commission in a plan unveiled last December. That Croposal would attack the iggest causes of the deficits spending on the benefit programs Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security and defense spending. Obama's budget avoided the painful choices put forward by the commission on benefit programs. Lew said it would be a mistake to say the report did not have an effect on the president's proposals.

He cited a proposal to pay for keeping doctors' payments under Medicare from being cut sharply. Instead of borrowing the money to prevent those cuts, the administration was putting forward $62 billion in savings in other areas to prevent those cuts during the next two years, Lpw said. In addition, the administration is reviving a proposal Congress rejected last year to limit tax deductions the wealthy can get for charitable donations, mortgage interest f)ayments and state and ocal taxes, and using those savings to pay for lqreping the Alternative Minimum Tax from hitting more middle-class families during the next two years. An administration official, who spoke on condition of anonymity before the budget was released, said one-third of the $1.1 trillion in deficit reduction the administration is projecting during the next decade would come from additional revenue, with the bulk of that reflecting the limitations on tax deductions by the wealthy. The administration has said its five-year freeze will save $400 billion during the next decade with many programs slated for even bigger cuts.

Community development block grants would be trimmed by $300 million, the governmenf 's program to help low-income people pay their heating bills would be cut in half for a savings of $2.5 billion, and a Great Lakes environmental restoration program would but cut by 25 percent to save $125 mil Craft set for Valentine rendezvous with comet several nieces and nephews.

BY ALICIA CHANG Associated Press LOS ANGELES After a long-distance courtship, a NASAspacecraft is set to meet up with its celestial sweetheart a comet half the size of Manhattan that had an encounter with another spacecraft not long ago.

The rendezvous between Stardust and comet Tempel 1 occurs on Valentine's Day some 210 million miles from Earth. Hurtling at 24,000 mph, Stardust will fly within 125 miles of the potato-shaped comet, snapping pictures along the way. If successful, It'll be the first time that scientists will have before-and-after images of Tempel 1, allowing them to observe any changes on the uneven surface. In 2005, Tempel 1 received a not-so-loving visit from another NASA probe named Deep Impact, which fired a copper bullet into the comet on the Fourth of July that sparked cosmic fireworks and excavated a crater. The high-speed crash hurled out so much dust and debris that Deep Impact failed to see the manmade hole even as it beamed back dazzling pictures of other surface features.

Scientists hope to get a second chance with Stardust, which is expected to pass near the 2005 bull's-eye. Comets, irregular bodies of ice and dust that orbit the sun, are frozen leftover building blocks of the solar system, which formed when a huge cloud of gas and dust collapsed about 4.5 billion years ago. Studying comets could yield clues to the birth of the solar system. TOP HEADLINES MICHELLE OBAMA: LAUGHTER IS GLUE TO STAY TOGETHER WASHINGTON (AP) Here's Michelle Obama's advice for couples this Valentine's Day: laugh with your partner. She said it's what she and President Barack Obama do, and it seems to be working.

Their marriage, although tested throughout the years by his political ambitions for the Illinois Senate, the U.S. Senate and later president is going on 19 years. "I think a lot of laughing," the first lady said at a White House luncheon with reporters who asked about the Obamas union. "I think in our house we don't take ourselves too seriously, and laughter is the best form of unity, I think, in a marriage. TOURNAMENT FROM 1 "It is what it is," Woodard said.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney? Called a war criminal, "murdering scum" and a draft dodger by people in his own party. Just a month after the Arizona shooting rampage led to bipartisan calls for toned-down political discourse, incivility suffused the year's largest gathering of conservatives. Just like at most partisan get-togethers on either end of the ideological spectrum. The brief political time out is over if it ever really existed. "All right, sit down and shut up," Cheney said after being greeted by hecklers when he made a surprise appearance at the Conservative Political Action Conference.

Supporters shouted down the insults with a "U.S.A." chant, and a visibly annoyed Cheney brushed off the outbursts. poorest county, where more than 60 percent of people live at or below the poverty line. At a time when the weak economy is squeezing communities across the nation, recently released census figures show that nowhere are the numbers as bad as here a county with 2,500 residents, most of them Cheyenne River Sioux Indians living on a reservation. In the coldest months of the year, when seasonal construction work disappears and the South Dakota prairie freezes, unemployment among the Sioux can hit 90 percent. Poverty has loomed across this land for generations.

Repeated attempts to create jobs have run into stubborn obstacles: the isolated location, the area's crumbling infrastructure, a poorly trained population and a tribe that struggles to work with businesses or attract investors. Now the tribe joined by a few entrepreneurs, a development group and a nonprofit is renewing efforts to create jobs and encourage a downtrodden population to start its own businesses. 1 YEAR "Sleep Better, Lire Better RESERVATION OCCUPIES POOREST COUNTY IN AMERICA ZIEBACH COUNTY, S.D.(AP) In the barren grasslands of Ziebach County, there's almost nothing harder to find in winter than a job.
