Hey everyone - A few stories we're watching here at Current News this morning. With US Secretary of Defense in Israel, a report that the number of Israeli settlers has topped 300K. Ousted President Manuel Zelaya of Honduras has a new tactic: camping on the Nicaraguan border. And the NY Times has a fascinating story about Chinese students who blame corrupt local officials for stealing their academic records, and thus their futures.

From the department of fascinating China stories:
Students have only a single manila folder as their academic records. If that record is lost, so is a student's chance at success beyond school. Some students, seeing their records lost, are blaming corrupt local officials.

"The daily Haaretz says the number of West Bank settlers is 304,569 - a 2.3 percent increase since January. It's quoting statistics compiled by the military.
The number of Israeli settlers has more than doubled since the mid-1990s in the West Bank, which is home to around 2.5 million Palestinians. "
