Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue announced that he will host a prayer service to ask for relief from the drought gripping the Southeast outside the state Capitol Nov. 13—unless it rains. "The only solution is rain, and the only place we get that is from a higher power," said Perdue spokesman Bert Brantley. Perdue along with governors of Alabama and Florida met with federal officials in Washington to resolve water-sharing conflicts as the Southeast continues its driest period on record.

In Mexico it's the water that won't go away. Thousands were trapped on their rooftops a week after flooding in Chiapas and Tabasco states killed 19 and caused an estimated $5 billion in damages.

Justice

The U.S. Senate prepared to confirm Michael Mukasey as the next U.S. attorney general after the Judiciary Committee endorsed his candidacy in an 11-8 vote Nov. 6, ending speculation that the Democrat-controlled panel would block the nominee over his refusal to clearly define torture. President George W. Bush nominated the longtime federal judge last month, but confirmation hearings bogged down when Mukasey declined to comment on the legality of waterboarding, a CIA interrogation technique.
