WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The pilot of a small Cessna 172 aircraft reported stolen from a Canadian flight school has been captured, authorities said.

The pilot was flying a plane similar to this one -- a Cessna 172 -- before he landed in Missouri.

The pilot reportedly stole a small Cessna 172 aircraft from a Canadian flight school, flew hundreds of miles across the Midwest, landed on a dirt road in Missouri late Monday and took off on foot, federal officials said.

Federal, state and local authorities launched a manhunt for the pilot, who was identified by the FBI as Adam Leon, 31, a native of Turkey who became a Canadian citizen last year, according to FBI spokesman Richard Kolko. He was formerly known as Yavuz Berke, though officials did not indicate a reason for the name change.

He was taken into custody at an Ellsinore grocery story after a brief manhunt, according to Missouri state police and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

A federal law enforcement source said the pilot parked the plane under what appeared to be a bridge or culvert, apparently in an attempt to hide it.

The plane had been intercepted and tracked by U.S. military aircraft as it flew from Canada into U.S. airspace and meandered southward for several hours before landing, a Department of Homeland Security spokesman said.

It landed in the town of Ellsinore, population 360, in southern Missouri, a dispatcher with the Carter County Sheriff's Office said.

A spokesman for the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) said the pilot flew "erratically" over the course of the afternoon, at time reaching 14,000 feet in altitude, then dropping as low as 3,000 feet.

The Cessna departed the school in Ontario at about 3 p.m. ET and flew over Lake Superior less than half an hour later, according to NORAD officials. F-16 fighter jets intercepted the pilot near Michigan's upper peninsula border with Wisconsin at 4:43 p.m., and tracked the Cessna until its safe landing.

The NORAD spokesman, Mike Kucharek, said military pilots who intercepted the Cessna had tried repeatedly to get the pilot's attention and at one point, the pilot appeared to acknowledge that he saw the other aircraft.

"He looked at them," Kucharek said.

But the pilot had not communicated with NORAD or the Federal Aviation Administration, Kucharek added later in the evening. At 9:20 p.m., the pilot was believed to have had roughly 30 minutes of fuel left, Kucharek said.

"We don't want to suppose the motive of the individual," Kucharek told CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360" after the landing. "But it certainly made a day for the professional pilots that were flying these missions and a very serious situation from a NORAD perspective."

Officials allowed the pilot "to play his hand" because they "[didn't] want to provoke the situation," Kucharek said.

A federal law enforcement official told CNN the pilot is a naturalized Canadian citizen, but declined to give his name or country of origin. The source said the pilot was a flight school student for a "brief" period and only clocked a few hours of flight time.

Canadian officials have received some information that the pilot is "not a happy individual," the official said.

The Cessna departed at about 3 p.m. ET and flew over Lake Superior less than half an hour later, according to NORAD officials. F-16 fighter jets intercepted the pilot near Michigan's upper peninsula border with Wisconsin at 4:43 p.m., and have tracked the Cessna since.

Earlier in the evening, the Wisconsin National Guard deployed two F-16s of its own in an attempt to get the pilot to establish communications with FAA air traffic controllers.

The state capitol in Madison, Wisconsin, was evacuated for less than an hour as a precaution.

FAA spokeswoman Laura Brown said the plane was reportedly stolen from a flight school in Thunder Bay, Canada, and the pilot had been identified as a student at the flight school.

Both Lt. Cmdr. Gary Ross of NORAD and Brown of the FAA said the 14,000-feet altitude is above the level at which the FAA requires use of oxygen. Brown said it was not clear whether the Cessna had supplemental oxygen on board.

Ross says the plane is a long-range version of a Cessna 172. It was fully fueled, giving it about seven hours of flying time.

Ross said if NORAD officials believe the aircraft poses a threat, "we take seriously any intent to harm any of our citizens or critical infrastructure."

He added that "all options are on the table although we continue to move towards a resolution that doesn't call for [lethal force]."

Washington (CNN) -- President Obama paid tribute Friday to seven CIA officers killed in Afghanistan in December, calling them "American patriots who loved their country and gave their lives to defend it."

Obama delivered the remarks during a memorial service at CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia. The service was closed to the media to protect the identities of undercover officers in attendance. A transcript of Obama's speech was provided to members of the press.

"There are no words that can ease the ache in your hearts," Obama told families, friends and co-workers of the seven officers. "But to their colleagues and all who served with them -- those here today, those still recovering, those watching around the world, I say: Let their sacrifice be a summons. To carry on their work. To complete this mission. To win this war and to keep our country safe."

A suicide bomber killed the CIA officers and contractors, as well as a Jordanian intelligence official, on December 30 at a U.S. base in Khost, in southeastern Afghanistan.

The bomber was within seconds of being searched by security contractors when he detonated his explosives, a former intelligence official with knowledge of the incident said in January.

Two of those killed were contractors with private security firm Xe, formerly known as Blackwater, a former intelligence official said. The CIA considers contractors to be officers.

Former CIA official Robert Richer called the bombing the greatest loss of life for the agency since the 1983 bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Beirut, Lebanon, which killed eight agents.

"These remarkable men and women are the story of America," CIA Director Leon Panetta said at Friday's service, according to the transcript. "They are the heart and soul of this great country. Their devotion to duty is the foundation of our country."

U.S. and Jordanian officials say the bomber, Humam Khalil Abu-Mulal al-Balawi, had been recruited as a counterterrorism intelligence agent, despite concerns over his extremist views, and was being used in the hunt for a senior al Qaeda figure.

The suicide bombing was "a huge blow, symbolically and tactically," because it eliminated so many CIA officers, who can take years to become ingrained in the region, said Reva Bhalla, director of analysis for Stratfor, an international intelligence company. In addition, she said, the attack showed the ability of the Taliban to penetrate perhaps the most difficult of targets: a CIA base.

But Panetta issued a strong statement at the service Friday, assuring those in attendance that "we will carry this fight to the enemy."

"Our resolve is unbroken, our energy undiminished and our dedication to each other and to our nation unshakable," Panetta said.

BEVERLY HILLS, California (CNN) -- Here's what happens when you go to interview Aretha Franklin: Her publicist will e-mail the cell phone number of her security man to your BlackBerry. Once you reach the lobby of the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills, you call the cell phone. Someone will come down to get you and bring you up to her suite, where you'll be greeted by Carlton, her longtime makeup artist.

Aretha Franklin was voted the No. 1 singer of all time in a Rolling Stone survey.

Then you look around, and you notice Aretha -- the Queen of Soul and recipient of 18 Grammys -- is quietly padding around the room in jeans, a turquoise T-shirt and flip-flops. She'll offer you "a seat and Cokes" -- then proceed to shoot the breeze, while you and your camera crew invade her room to set up for the interview.

Then it hits you. You may be an Aretha Franklin groupie, but Aretha is a groupie of CNN.

She loves to talk politics, and she's up-to-the-minute in terms of information. President-elect Barack Obama is her man. After seeing his keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in 2004, she invited him to be her honored guest at an event in her hometown of Detroit, Michigan. He couldn't come, but she's been a loyal supporter since then. She'll sing at his inauguration in January.

In the meantime, Rolling Stone magazine, in a poll of music industry heavyweights, just named her the No. 1 singer of all time. And there's her new holiday album, "This Christmas, Aretha." In a career that's spanned more than 50 years, it's the first seasonal CD she's ever made.

Aretha helps us set the stage for Santa (eggnog optional).

Aretha Franklin: The snow is lightly falling -- you get the picture -- you're by the fireside with your sweetie, and no Aretha! There's no Aretha in the music! What's going on?! So I had to do an album.

CNN: You've been wanting to do a holiday album for a long time.

Franklin: For many years, I've wanted to do one, and I've always mentioned it to the chieftains, and they would say things like, "Oh well. Christmas albums don't sell," and things like that. But that's not the point. Christmas albums are important. The music is important. The season is important.

CNN: On "This Christmas, Aretha," there are some traditional songs and some more contemporary tunes.

Franklin: We did "Silent Night," "Angels We Have Heard on High," "14 Angels" -- which comes from the classic "Hansel and Gretel," the opera. What else did we do? "This Christmas" by Donny Hathaway and "Christmas Ain't Christmas (Without The One You Love)" by the O'Jays. Those two are my favorites. They're the first two records that are going to play in the Franklin household every Christmas.

CNN: What was Christmas like for you growing up?

Franklin: Christmases past, my sister, Carolyn, and I -- we'd been waiting for Santa all night. Nothing! Where is this man? And we're looking all up in the sky all night long, until I guess about 1 or 2 o'clock in the morning. Finally, we just fell out. We couldn't take it anymore. [We'd wake up in the morning and] come downstairs, and everything was under the tree! We couldn't believe it! Where did these things come from? You know, we just couldn't believe it.

CNN: Did you believe in Santa Claus for a long time?

Franklin: For a while, I did. And then I started getting the idea that it wasn't Santa -- it was Dad.

CNN: What's Christmas like now? Do you cook, or do you have someone help you cook?

Franklin: Oh absolutely, puh-leeze! Nobody else better cook on the holidays except me! I do everything -- the traditional fare. You have the turkey, the baked ham with the brown sugar glaze. We have the mixed greens, we have fried corn, we have the sweet potato pies, you have the potato salad -- the whole nine yards is on the table. Everything is from scratch. Men don't like eating out of cans. And I don't like eating out of cans too much, either.

CNN: Have you ever done a cookbook?

Franklin: No, I haven't, but I plan to.

CNN: Do you gather 'round the piano and sing Christmas carols?

Franklin: After dinner, we do. We sing a little bit. We might be playing cards, we might be playing Monopoly. The children are just running in and out of the rooms, and up and down the steps. They love the workout room.

CNN: How many people do you generally have over?

Franklin: Usually, about 15 or so. My neighbors, my friends and family. My nieces, my grandchildren.

CNN: On election night, I hear you all got together to watch the presidential returns.

Franklin: We had an Obama pajama party -- and it was really cool -- at one of the casinos in Detroit. We sat there and watched the returns. Started at 6 o'clock, and we had like three or four screens going -- and, of course, we had CNN going, and I'm not just sayin' that because I'm sitting here. At that magic moment, the room just erupted. It was like, "Whoa!" All of the screaming and just -- I can imagine what people thought outside in the hallways!

CNN: Did you ever think you'd see a black man elected president in your lifetime?

Franklin: Absolutely. Absolutely, I did, yes -- after Reverend [Jesse] Jackson made his run, and Shirley Chisholm, so long before. I thought maybe even Colin Powell might run after Reverend Jackson. I did.

CNN: Do you already have your dress for the inauguration?

Franklin: Honey, I've had my dress for months!

CNN: I hope you have a hotel reservation -- otherwise, you'll be begging for a bed at a youth hostel.

Franklin: Oh, no. I don't stay at those places.

CNN: You want a job in Barack's Cabinet?

Franklin: Yeah, I want a job in Barack's Cabinet. How about a job, Mr. Obama? Please?! PLEASE?!! (She cracks up.)

(CNN)  -- Manchester United are given more injury-time at the end of matches to equalize or score winning goals than their English Premier League rivals, a study has revealed.

Owen's 96th minute winner at Old Trafford left Manchester City livid.

As the row over the near seven minutes of added time accorded to United to win the Manchester derby with a last-gasp Michael Owen goal continues, the Guardian newspaper probed the official injury-time statistics.

They looked at league matches at United's Old Trafford ground since the start of the 2006-07 season and revealed  that, on average, there has been over a minute of extra time added by referees when the English champions do not have the lead.

This is compared to when they are in front, but United have a reputation for scoring late goals on their ways to claiming three straight Premier League crowns.

In 48 games when Alex Ferguson's men were in front, the average amount of stoppage time was 191.35 seconds.

In 12 matches when United were drawing or losing there was an average of 257.17 seconds.

In mitigation, the study revealed that the average stoppage time added at Old Trafford is below that at the home grounds of top four rivals Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea.

United's is 205 seconds, compared to Liverpool's 210 seconds, 224 seconds for Arsenal and Chelsea's 229 seconds.

But it is the disparity between the time added on when United are winning or losing which appears to assert the popular assertion that referees allow the match to continue until the Red Devils either equalizer or score the winner.

Manchester City manager Mark Hughes raged over the extra time in the 4-3 thriller on Sunday, speaking of feeling "robbed" as Owen slotted home his winner.

The 2007-08 season shows the greatest difference, with an average of 178.29 second added when United were winning, with official stats from Opta showing 254.5 seconds added when they were not.

The trend has continued in the first three United home games of the season.

In the two matches United have led they have played an average 304 seconds of injury time.

On Sunday, referee Martin Atkinson allowed the game to go on for another 415 seconds, despite his fourth official initially indicating 240 seconds should be added.

(CNN) -- Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright said Tuesday that North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il is using his claims of a successful rocket launch to shore up his political strength within his country.

Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright discusses North Korea on CNN's "American Morning" on Tuesday.

Albright, who was secretary of state in the Clinton administration, told CNN's "American Morning" that "it was a huge mistake for the United States to stop talking to North Korea" when the Bush administration took over.

The communist nation launched the rocket over the weekend in defiance of international opposition. Satellite images released Monday appear to show the rocket in flight, according to a  nonprofit institution that focuses on stopping the spread of nuclear weapons.

The following is a transcript of Albright's conversation with CNN's Carol Costello.

Carol Costello, CNN: We do have this video from North Korea of this rocket taking off. What do you make of that?

Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright: Well, I think that the North Korean leadership is living in a parallel universe of acting as if the launch was a success, when tracking and everything has shown that in fact, it is a failure.

And I think it proves a point, which is that the North Koreans, Kim Jong-Il is doing this for his own internal reasons -- because on Thursday, tomorrow, there will be a rubber stamp by the parliament of his leadership -- and the problems that he's generally had since he had his stroke. So this is part of their kind of Orwellian approach of saying that "This is what happened, and wasn't it a success," when we know it wasn't.

Costello: The U.N. Security Council hasn't been able to come up with any sort of resolution because apparently that body is split. President Obama made a really big deal of this and said this was like a clear violation. It sort of seems like the United States is stuck, and it can't do anything about North Korea.

Albright: Well, I don't think that's true, because what has happened is there have been individual condemnations by leaders of various countries. And I have to say from my own experience of the United Nations, it does take a while to get the 15 members [of the Security Council] together. But the saddest for me is the fact that the U.N. passed a resolution, 1718, which said that this was not acceptable. So the truth is that the U.N. has to live up to its own resolutions.

And Ambassador Rice, I think, is working very hard up there in order to get some action, but there have been condemnations already throughout the world. And the bottom line here is that President Obama's speech, for instance, in Prague, when he talked about the importance of cooperation generally on a whole nonproliferation regime -- it's very clear that there's going to have to be a lot of work on that and that President Obama laid out a very, very important set of goals.

amFIX: Your thoughts on the rocket launch

Costello: And, you know, there has been some criticism that President Obama turned to the U.N. to try to solve this crisis. I want to read you a quote from Politico. It interviewed Newt Gingrich, the former speaker of the House. I want to read you his quote. Newt Gingrich said, "The embarrassing repudiation of the United States appeal to the United Nations Security Council Sunday afternoon is a vivid demonstration of weakness. This is beginning to resemble the Carter administration's weakness in foreign policy." How would you respond to that?

Albright: Well, I think that it's just kind of typical of Newt Gingrich, frankly. But the bottom line here is, I think the United States and President Obama has made very clear the leadership of the United States, his concern about, generally, proliferation issues.

I think his trip, for instance, laid out a whole set of issues that prove that American leadership is essential, the respect that he gained for American leadership. And I think you're going to see additional ways that we all work together, because the issues that are out there that have to be dealt with require cooperation, and they will require international organizations and cooperation through NATO and a number of activities. So I'm very confident that President Obama is going to be able to prove American leadership.

Costello: Well, I guess many Americans look at it this way, you know: You talk about sanctions, but sanctions have been instituted against North Korea before, and it hasn't really worked. North Korea just seems to kind of do what it wants. You've met Kim Jong-Il. I mean, what does he want?

Albright:  Well, what he wants is respect. And I have to say that part of the problem here is -- and as you mentioned, I met Kim Jong-Il. We were in the middle of negotiations with him. In fact, we had a missile moratorium.

And President Bush came in and canceled those talks. It was confusing to everybody. And I do think that what is important now is to get the North Koreans back into the six-party talks, to make it clear to them that the only way that they are going to have respect is to abide by international regulations and to try to deal with the fact that they would be better off if, in fact, they allowed their people to be fed and an economy that functions, rather than be living in this way where poverty is rampant, and hunger, in every way in North Korea, and a leadership that is shaky.

But the bottom line is, I think it was a huge mistake for the United States to stop talking to North Korea. And in the interim period, they were able to develop material in order to create nuclear weapons, and so I hope very much that the six-party talks continue.

Costello: We'll see. Madam Secretary, thanks so much for joining us this morning. We appreciate it. Thank you.

text: Well

text: living

text: in

text: a

text: parallel

text: universe

text: of

text: acting

text: was

text: success

text: when

text: tracking

text: and

text: everything

text: has

text: shown

text: that

text: in

text: fact

text: it

text: is

text: a

text: failure

text: And

text: I

text: think

text: it

text: proves

text: a

text: point

text: which

text: is

text: that

text: the

text: North

text: Koreans

text: Kim

text: Jong

text: Il

text: is

text: doing

text: this

text: for

text: his

text: own

text: internal

text: reasons

text: on

text: Thursday

text: tomorrow

text: there

text: will

text: be

text: a

text: rubber

text: stamp

text: by

text: the

text: parliament

text: of

text: his

text: leadership

text: and

text: the

text: problems

text: that

text: he

text: 's

text: generally

text: had

text: since

text: he

text: had

text: his

text: So

text: This

text: Costello

text: The

text: n't

text: with

text: any

text: sort

text: of

text: resolution

text: because

text: apparently

text: that

text: body

text: is

text: split

text: President

text: Obama

text: made

text: a

text: really

text: big

text: deal

text: of

text: this

text: and

text: said

text: this

text: It

text: sort

text: seems

text: like

text: the

text: United

text: stuck

text: and

text: it

text: ca

text: n't

text: do

text: anything

text: about

text: North

text: Korea

text: Albright

text: Well

text: I

text: do

text: n't

text: think

text: that

text: 's

text: true

text: because

text: what

text: has

text: happened

text: is

text: there

text: have

text: been

text: individual

text: condemnations

text: by

text: leaders

text: of

text: various

text: countries

text: And

text: I

text: have

text: to

text: say

text: from

text: my

text: own

text: experience

text: of

text: the

text: United

text: Nations

text: it

text: does

text: take

text: a

text: while

text: to

text: get

text: the

text: members

text: of

text: the

text: Security

text: Council

text: together

text: But

text: the

text: saddest

text: for

text: me

text: is

text: the

text: fact

text: that

text: the

text: U.N.

text: passed

text: a

text: resolution

text: which

text: said

text: that

text: this

text: So

text: the

text: truth

text: that

text: the

text: U.N.

text: has

text: to

text: live

text: up

text: to

text: its

text: own

text: resolutions

text: And

text: Ambassador

text: Rice

text: I

text: think

text: is

text: working

text: very

text: hard

text: up

text: there

text: in

text: order

text: to

text: get

text: some

text: action

text: but

text: there

text: have

text: been

text: condemnations

text: already

text: throughout

text: the

text: world

text: And

text: the

text: bottom

text: speech

text: How

text: would

text: Well

text: Costello

text: Well

text: I

text: guess

text: many

text: Americans

text: look

text: at

text: it

text: this

text: way

text: you

text: know

text: You

text: talk

text: about

text: sanctions

text: but

text: sanctions

text: have

text: been

text: instituted

text: against

text: North

text: Korea

text: before

text: and

text: it

text: has

text: n't

text: really

text: worked

text: North

text: Korea

text: just

text: seems

text: to

text: kind

text: of

text: do

text: You

text: mean

text: what

text: does

text: want

text: Albright

text: Well

text: what

text: he

text: wants

text: is

text: respect

text: And

text: I

text: have

text: to

text: say

text: that

text: part

text: of

text: the

text: problem

text: here

text: is

text: and

text: as

text: you

text: mentioned

text: I

text: met

text: Kim

text: Jong

text: Il

text: We

text: were

text: in

text: the

text: middle

text: of

text: negotiations

text: with

text: him

text: In

text: fact

text: we

text: had

text: a

text: missile

text: moratorium

text: And

text: President

text: Bush

text: came

text: in

text: and

text: canceled

text: those

text: talks

text: It

text: was

text: confusing

text: to

text: everybody

text: And

text: I

text: do

text: think

text: that

text: what

text: is

text: important

text: now

text: is

text: to

text: get

text: the

text: North

text: Koreans

text: back

text: into

text: the

text: six

text: party

text: talks

text: to

text: make

text: it

text: clear

text: to

text: them

text: that

text: the

text: only

text: way

text: that

text: they

text: are

text: going

text: to

text: have

text: respect

text: is

text: to

text: abide

text: by

text: international

text: regulations

text: and

text: to

text: try

text: to

text: deal

text: with

text: the

text: fact

text: that

text: they

text: would

text: be

text: better

text: off

text: if

text: in

text: fact

text: they

text: allowed

text: their

text: people

text: to

text: be

text: fed

text: and

text: an

text: economy

text: that

text: functions

text: rather

text: than

text: be

text: living

text: in

text: this

text: way

text: where

text: poverty

text: is

text: rampant

text: and

text: hunger

text: in

text: every

text: way

text: in

text: North

text: Korea

text: and

text: a

text: leadership

text: that

text: is

text: shaky

text: But

text: the

text: bottom

text: is

text: I

text: think

text: it

(CNN)  -- Like most stories that end up with a man mowing his friend's lawn in a dress, it started out innocently enough.

Craig Harrell takes a quick break for the camera while fulfilling his end of the bargain.

Not long after Robert Klein began working on his man cave, his friend Craig Harrell paid Klein a compliment. He noticed Klein was looking trimmer since they'd last met. As Klein continued to slim down, they made a bet: Whoever could get down to 200 pounds first would be the winner, and the loser would have to mow the winner's yard -- in a dress.

Klein started building his man cave in Pasadena, Maryland, so he could have the bar of his dreams and a home theater. He worked on his basement for more than a year and ended up losing 65 pounds in the process -- more than enough to win his bet with Harrell.

CNN.com and iReport.com got an overwhelming response when we asked readers to send in photos and stories of their man caves: spaces that foster men's hobbies, decorating skills and technological needs.

Some of their stories were so outrageous that we decided to profile a few of them. Klein's man cave, however, was the only one to combine dramatic weight loss and cross-dressing, so we had to give him a call to find out more.

Klein said his friends wanted to talk about two things while he was building his man cave: how his amazing bar was coming along and how they thought Harrell would lose the bet.

The bet was popular with everyone Klein and Harrell knew. Their wives even started a dress committee, to make sure the loser was appropriately attired, and their kids delighted in the prospect of seeing Dad in a dress.

To lose weight, Klein said Harrell played golf and cut out chips, while he adopted a balanced, calorie-restricted diet, and spent at least six hours a day on the man cave, which took most of his free time. Klein did all the electric wiring himself, worked on the framing and put three coats of paint on all the walls and ceilings.

He attributes his weight loss success to replacing TV-watching with hard work. "I lost at least 10 pounds on the painting alone," he said. "My neck was sore for weeks."

Klein knew he couldn't build the kind of man cave he wanted all by himself, so he contracted out some of the big jobs, like cutting a hole in the foundation to add 6-foot-tall French doors to the side of the house in place of a window well, and finding someone to do the woodwork on a custom bar he designed.

Although he started out with a carefully planned budget, Klein quickly found he needed to spend more money to make his dreams a reality. The hardest part, he said, was finding someone who could build his bar for a price he could afford.

After some disheartening estimates (one was $65,000), Klein found Lyle Delfosse, a local furniture maker who had built libraries in the Watergate Hotel in Washington D.C., and constructed a chair for a U.S. Supreme Court justice over his long career. Now 76 and retired, Delfosse told Klein, "I can build anything out of wood."

Klein said Delfosse was true to his word, and they didn't go over the initial estimate of $19,000, although he said Delfosse told him "if he had it to do all over again, he'd have charged double."

Klein calls the bar "magnificent," and said that when people come over to see it, they feel underdressed.

Convinced he'd saved money by doing a lot of the work himself, Klein splurged on a new sprinkler system. The bet he'd made earlier in the year was on his mind, and he wanted to ensure that the grass in his front yard would be nice and green once the weigh-in arrived.

At the height of summer, Klein's man cave was finished, and he decided it was time to step on the scales. Harrell was 208 pounds, and Klein was 195. At the party Klein threw to show off his new bar and theater, Harrell was ready.

With some help from the dress committee, Harrell became Klein's newly acquired, frock-sporting landscaper.

The wives had sewn two pink, strapless dresses together to fit Harrell, and then layered on accessories like a bow-topped headband and a corsage. All decked out, Harrell graciously mowed Klein's front yard, with 80 people cheering him on.

Somehow, as Harrell was mowing, Klein's new sprinkler system went off, soaking Harrell and his dress. In a phone interview, Klein was coy about who the perpetrator might have been.

These days, Harrell has his own man cave, complete with bar. Klein points out that his bar is nicer, but says he's got his buddy's back: Harrell's wife thinks a dishwasher would be a practical addition to the man cave, but Klein is trying to convince her that the keg refrigerator Harrell wants is a good idea.

LONDON, England -- A severe rabies epidemic has claimed the lives of at least 83 children within three months in Angola's capital, Luanda, the World Health Organization (WHO) has said.

Luanda, which has a large population of stray dogs, also has some of the world's worst slums.

Describing the situation as "very worrying,"  WHO rabies expert Francois Meslin told CNN: "This is a huge number and could be the tip of the iceberg."

A doctor working at the country's biggest referral hospital Hospital Pediatrico David Bernardino said staff were unable to save any of the children as rabies vaccines had run out.

Some of the children were also brought into the hospital too late to be saved, Luis Bernardino, head of the hospital told UN humanitarian organization IRIN.

He warned that the number of deaths could be much higher.

"The children were brought to our hospital and are the only ones we know of, so the number could be higher," Bernardino told IRIN.

"It is a sad moment for us," he added. "I think it was probably that no one was prepared for such a high case load."

The number of cases has now started declining, however, said Bernardino.

According to Meslin, this could be because the current infected pack of dogs has died.

Meslin told CNN that the Angolan government needed to embark on a dog rabies control program urgently to prevent further outbreaks.

Angola's capital, where most of the population live in slums, has a large number of stray dogs who are said to have caused the epidemic.

"We have had some sporadic cases in other provincial capitals in the country; we think the virus was brought into Luanda and then spread through the dogs -- Angolans love dogs," Bernardino said.

"When the first 10 deaths were reported in December 2008 we alerted the authorities, but we do not have veterinary services in the city, no kennels [to keep and observe the animals] and vaccinate them," he added.

Another problem contributing to the crisis is that vaccines are too expensive for the average family.

"One dose of vaccine costs about $10 and five of those have to be administered, which makes the total cost of treatment $50 which is more than a month's salary for families in most developing countries," Meslin added.

In 2008 the WHO wrote that rabies, a disease transmitted from animals with infected saliva to humans, is present on nearly every continent of the world but more that 95 per cent of human deaths occur in Asia and Africa.

It can be prevented by vaccination, either prior to exposure or as part of post-exposure treatment. But once symptoms of the disease develop, rabies is fatal.

According to the WHO, rabies can affect the lungs, stomach and central nervous systems. In the critical stage, a victim slips into a coma and death, usually due to breathing failure.

More than 55,000 people die of rabies each year, the WHO wrote, with 30 to 60 per cent of the victims of dog bites being children under the age of 15.
