WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal is set to deliver the Republican response to President Obama's upcoming joint address to Congress, a high-profile slot the party often gives to one of its rising stars.

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, 37, will give GOP response to President Obama's address to Congress this month.

"Gov. Jindal embodies what I have long said: The Republican Party must not be simply the party of 'opposition,' but the party of better solutions," House Minority Leader John Boehner said in a Wednesday statement.

Jindal, a former congressman in his first term as Louisiana's governor, was widely believed to be on Republican presidential nominee John McCain's short list for vice president, and he often served as a campaign surrogate on the Arizona senator's behalf.

The 37-year-old son of Indian immigrants also was given a prime-time speaking slot at the GOP convention last September, though he ultimately decided not to attend the four-day event as Hurricane Gustav headed for landfall in his state.

An Ivy League grad and Rhodes Scholar, and his state's first nonwhite governor, Jindal has long been on the GOP's radar screen as a potential future leader and likely presidential candidate. And as the GOP is launching full-scale efforts to appeal to nonwhite voters, Jindal has become one of the party's most high-profile minorities.

"His stewardship of the state of Louisiana, dedication to reforming government and commitment to bringing forth new and innovative ideas make him a leader not just within the Republican Party, but in our nation as a whole," Boehner also said of Jindal on Wednesday.

Jindal, who became governor two years after Hurricane Katrina ravaged Louisiana, has drawn praise for spearheading the ongoing recovery efforts.

"When you look at major statewide offices Republicans have won over the past three years, there is one, Louisiana," said Alex Castellanos, a CNN contributor and Republican strategist. "In a state where we lost confidence in government, perhaps more than any other state, he restored it and cut taxes."

Though he is often mentioned as a likely contender for the 2012 Republican presidential race, Jindal has said his current focus is on winning reelection in 2011.

Jindal also said late last year that even if he were considering running for president, now is the time to support the sitting president.

"It doesn't matter whether you're Republican, Democrat or independent, it doesn't matter whether you voted for him or not, President-elect Barack Obama is our president," he said.

The White House announced on Tuesday that Obama will deliver the annual State of the Union address to both houses of Congress on February 24.

In 2008, Democrats tapped Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius -- then considered to be a possible vice presidential candidate -- to give the rebuttal speech to former President Bush's final State of the Union address.

Other Democrats who delivered responses to Bush's State of the Unions include Virginia Sen. Jim Webb, Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine, and former Washington Gov. Gary Locke, the nation's first Chinese-American governor.

The last Republican to deliver a response to a State of the Union address was Maine Sen. Susan Collins in 2000.

ORLANDO, Florida (CNN) -- Disney World has not been the happiest place on Earth for employees this year.

The Walt Disney World resort in Orlando, Florida, has lost some 1,600 jobs.

Imagine one day receiving recognition for decades of service from your employer only to be laid off the next day. That is what happened to one Walt Disney Parks and Resorts employee who asked not be identified.

Disney has eliminated 1,900 U.S.-based positions since mid-February. Some 900 salaried employees working at Disney's theme parks in Florida were laid off, and 700 open positions were eliminated, said communications Vice President Mike Griffin. In California, 200 workers were laid off and 100 open positions were cut.

Disneyland in California and Disney World are having their behind-the-scenes operations combined in a restructuring, said Griffin. Disney officials say theme parks, the Disney Cruise Line, Disney Vacation Club and off-property resorts have seen some people with decades of experience laid off during the restructuring.

The former employee let go after decades of service is still hoping to return once the economy improves. Several other employees said they did not want speak to CNN in fear of jeopardizing the generous severance packages offered by Disney.

Employees let go will receive pay for 60 days; extended medical coverage; and severance packages that vary according to their years of service, said a Disney source. Disney's Griffin said: "These decisions were not made lightly, but are essential to maintaining our leadership in family tourism and reflect today's economic realities."

Central Florida's unemployment rate is 9.7 percent -- a 33-year high, according to the area's job service agency, Workforce Central Florida. The rate is more than double from the same time a year ago.

The job agency's spokeswoman, Kimberly Cornett, said 40,000 to 50,000 people registered with the agency are vying for 1,000 jobs available through Workforce Central Florida. Fewer than 100 available job listings are in the tourism industry.

Cornett said she does not believe Disney's layoffs will have a significant effect to the area's overall economy, since currently 107,000 people are unemployed in Central Florida. Cornett said, however, that the effect would be huge for those laid off.

Orlando area hotels have been hit hard, too, with fewer tourist and business travelers. Orange County reported in February it collected 29 percent less revenue in a hotel bed tax in comparison to a year ago, said Brian Martin of the Orange County Convention and Visitors Bureau.

Martin said the large drop is due to fewer booked hotel rooms at reduced rates to attract visitors.

The convention and visitors bureau, in a survey of area hotels, has found companies are traveling less for meetings in Orlando. The hotels report that in the first two months of 2009, some 114 small business meetings were canceled, with $26 million in lost revenue.

Martin said the White House is partly to blame for the dropoff in business meetings. President Obama said companies that receive taxpayer bailout money should not use the money to "go take a trip to Las Vegas."

"When the president said 'don't travel,' business travel has been affected," Martin said. Las Vegas is the country's most popular convention destination, with Orlando No. 2.

Orlando has not seen any large convention cancellations in 2009, the convention bureau says.

Statistics from 2007, the latest available, show that even if Orlando saw a 10 percent drop in visitors, nearly 44 million people would still come to the city.

Disney's 2008 financial report showed income was down last year. Disney would not comment on whether park attendance was up or down. A source within Disney said that even though the theme parks are crowded, customers are not buying.

Disney's Mike Griffin said: "We continue to work through our reorganization and manage our business based on demand."

Griffin said the corporation's reorganization has been under way since 2005 and many of the recent positions eliminated would have eventually been cut. Due to the economy, Griffins said, the cuts took place sooner than expected. He added that Disney is downsizing just like many other U.S. businesses.

There was no tsunami damage "though there may be slight sea level changes from now on," it said, referring to the areas affected by the advisory -- the Okinawa Islands, the Amami Islands and the Tokara Islands.

The quake was centered 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) deep and struck at 5:31 a.m. (3:31 p.m. ET Friday) about 85 kilometers (53 miles) from Okinawa.

The quake was felt on Okinawa, with shaking that lasted about 15 seconds, said Lt. Col. Daniel King of the U.S. Pacific Command. He told CNN that commanders in Japan and Hawaii were trying to get damage and casualty reports from U.S. military stations on Okinawa, but had heard nothing in the immediate aftermath.

About 20,000 U.S. troops -- mostly Marines, along with Navy and Air Force personnel -- are stationed on eight bases on Okinawa, he said.

iReporter Kristina Donaldson, who lives in central Okinawa, said the quake "seemed to last longer than other ones we have experienced here."

"We felt the quake pretty good this morning," she said, but life there was largely unaffected.

"I just walked down to the coastline and the kids are walking to school as they always do. No sirens, or any destruction from where we are."

Okinawa resident Eric Shepherd said his grandmother-in-law described it as the strongest quake she had felt in her 90 years on the island.

"It felt like some really bad airplane turbulence," Shepherd said, adding that one of his two children slept through what seemed like a minute-long "rumble."

"I had no problem walking to the kids' room to check on them" during the quake, he said.

CNN's Mike Mount contributed to this report.

THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.

CARL AZUZ, CNN STUDENT NEWS ANCHOR: This Wednesday, February 17th, CNN Student News begins with a big story out of southeast Asia. I'm Carl Azuz, reporting from the CNN Center in Atlanta!

First Up: Taliban Leader Arrested

AZUZ: First up: What could be a major defeat for the Taliban. Pakistani officials say the Taliban's second-highest leader has been arrested.

Details, right after some fast facts on the Taliban: This is a militant organization that used to control Afghanistan. It allowed the al Qaeda terrorist group to live and train there. A U.S. led coalition knocked the Taliban out of power in late 2001, after the September 11th attacks on America.

Now, Pakistani intelligence says Taliban leader Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar was caught several days ago in Pakistan, which borders eastern Afghanistan. Baradar's capture could be a huge victory for the U.S. because America has been hunting him for years and he could have some incredibly valuable information about both the Taliban and al Qaeda terrorists. American officials are saying this could be a turning point in the war in Afghanistan. But there is a hitch: the Taliban deny that Baradar's been caught. They say he's still working for them and that reports of his arrest are designed to hurt the Taliban's morale. That is important to them right now because America, along with other coalition forces, are currently fighting the Taliban in southern Afghanistan. In the town of Marjah, a stronghold of the Taliban, U.S.-led forces are making progress. Marines took over a police headquarters there yesterday.

New Nuclear Power Plant

U.S. PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: We are announcing roughly $8 billion in loan guarantees to break ground on the first new nuclear plant in our country in three decades.

AZUZ: And it would be an expansion of this nuclear facility in the eastern part of Georgia. The Obama administration claims the two, new nuclear reactors would create more than 3,000 construction jobs and 850 permanent jobs at the nuclear plant. The White House also says the power it would generate would be enough for more than half a million homes. Republican leaders, including both of Georgia's senators, like this idea. Sen. Saxby Chambliss says it's a step in the right direction, adding, the power generated by the Burke County Facility -- that's the one that's already there -- is safe, reliable, emissions-free and environmentally responsible. But some Democrats are against it, along with nuclear power critics. One of those, energy analyst Ben Schreiber, says, "The last thing Americans want is another government bailout for a failing industry." Schreiber went on to call nuclear power "unsafe and dirty."

Iran's Warning

AZUZ: Iran's nuclear plan is worrying diplomats at the United Nations. And Iran's leader is warning the U.N. Security Council not to punish his Middle Eastern nation for its nuclear program. At a news conference yesterday, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said he wants the U.N. to "move in the spirit of cooperation." But if it doesn't, he says Iran would react in a way that would put the U.N. to shame. To the international community, those are very unwelcome words. The U.N. wants Iran to stop enriching uranium, because enriched uranium could help Iran make an illegal, nuclear weapon. Iran continues to argue its program would be used only to help provide power to civilians. The global community doesn't believe it.

Cybersecurity

AZUZ: There are attacks going on in the U.S. that most people never hear about probably because most of the time, they fail. We're talking about cyber attacks. And many times, they come from other countries, testing our electronic systems -- they might target cell phone companies, power companies, Internet companies. Yesterday, a panel of former government workers got together in a cyber-attack drill to work on ways the U.S. could react to a large-scale, cyber attack. What they hope to get out of this are ideas: suggestions they could take to the Obama administration on how to improve the electronic systems that so many of us rely on day-to-day.

Shoutout

TOMEKA JONES, CNN STUDENT NEWS: Today's Shoutout goes out to the students of Pikeville High School in Pikeville, Kentucky! Which of these rulers was known as "the boy king"? You know what do to! Was it: A) King Henry VIII, B) Genghis Khan, C) Alexander the Great OR D) King Tut? You've got three seconds--GO! The ancient Egyptian King Tutankhamen is "the boy king"; he took over at around age 10. That's your answer and that's your Shoutout!

King Tut Findings

AZUZ: So we know he was young when he took over, that he died young in his late teens, and that King Tut ruled for about 10 years, starting in around 1336 B.C. But there is so much more we do not know, like how he died. Well, there's a new report out, based on King Tut's DNA. It's being published this week in the Journal of the American Medical Association and it could fill in some blanks. The report suggests that the boy king died of complications from a broken leg along with malaria, a disease of flu-like symptoms carried by mosquitos. He also had a form of scoliosis and foot disease: health problems that researchers believe ran in his family.

Hip-Hop Orchestra

AZUZ: Hip-hop and classical: Two musical genres that don't seem to go together. But the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and hip-hop artist A. Leon Craft mixed it up recently. It's part of the orchestra's work to promote the arts in school curriculum as well as try something new and novel. Take a listen. Hear for yourself how it came together and how it sounded.

(BEGIN VIDEO)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra.

"808 BLAKE" GERMAN, SMKA PRODUCTIONS: Classical music, it gets kind of the rap that it's, you know, old-timey and boring and that it's for an older generation. It's really the basis of how a lot of the music today is put together. The chance to work for a symphony to me is extraordinary.

A. LEON CRAFT, RAPPER [RAPPING]: Use it to escape....

JERE FLINT, CONDUCTOR, ATLANTA SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA: Well, I think this is our first venture into hip-hop. By blending the two, I think that we reach really a kind of a broad expansive of audiences. We took basically a sampling of a piece.

GERMAN: Gave me "Hoe-Down" by Copeland. I took the sample and I slowed it down, which kind of gave it this sort of feel right here. And I took it, chopped it up, and kind of looped it again, and then I added a second part right here. I usually start layering it with instrumentation, so, and the guitar kind of gives it that laid-back, just good-feeling vibe to it. As is with hip-hop, you know, you've got to have, this is the, that snap is what, the fact that it kind of gets you really bobbing your head. Kind of really feeling the music right there. What really drives it is this. Once we got the music together, then we brought in A. Leon Craft to do, to bring in and do the lyrics for us.

CRAFT [RAPPING]: Music, yes, feel good, music.

CRAFT: The hood goes, music is my life.

GROUP [SINGING]: Music is my life.

CRAFT [RAPPING]: The base clef and treble clef carries me away.

CRAFT: I'm, like, I'm lost in the music.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE [SINGING]: On a beat like maestro.

CRAFT [SINGING]: Music is my life.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE [SINGING]: It's with me everywhere. It's in my soul.

CRAFT [RAPPING]: Music, yes, feel good music. So I got to make you feel good.

CRAFT: I'm singing and rapping in front of the orchestra while, you know, the conductor is conducting the music, like, it's, wow.

CRAFT [RAPPING]: Whether you appreciate my musical past. Everything in life has a rhythm, has emotion. Through emotion music will infinitely last.

FLINT: It was just fascinating. A fascinating piece of work. Whether it's, whether it will last as a real art form or genre or just as an experiment, I can't tell. But it was fun to do it.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It was very fun. I am, I'm a big fan of hip-hop. I like to dance a lot.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Very fun. I really enjoyed it.

CRAFT [RAPPING]: Oh how I love my music

CRAFT: Thank you so much.

Promo

AZUZ: Facebook, tomorrow, 7:00 p.m. Eastern, 4:00 p.m. Pacific: Be there. I will be live at Facebook.com/CNNStudentNews, answering your questions. They could be questions for me, questions about the show. You know where to find us: Facebook.com/CNNStudentNews.

Before We Go

AZUZ: Before we go, picture an igloo. Maybe one of those domed rooms of ice blocks with a little crawl space to get inside. Now picture a luxury igloo. Because what else would you call a spacious, four-room, iced house wired for a sound system, fired for warmth with a wheelbarrow, and, oh yes, a flat-screen TV. It's taken since about New Year's to finish the thing, but it's no doubt the coolest home you'll ever see.

Goodbye

AZUZ: ...though to live there, you'd have to be an ig-lunatic. I can see your class from here, and I can feel your cold stares. Hopefully, you'll warm back up to us by tomorrow. I'm Carl Azuz for CNN Student News.

text: Baradar

When Twitter asks "What are you doing," maybe you should be following tweets on job advice.

When microblogging and social networking site Twitter debuted three years ago, plenty of people wrote it off as yet another pointless addition in the overcrowded networking world.

Considering the site only allows people to post, or Tweet, messages of 140 characters or less, you can't blame early skeptics.

But little by little, users proved the site's worth to nonbelievers. Last year, student James Karl Buck was traveling in Egypt and wound up in jail. He Tweeted "arrested" to notify his friends of what was going on and ultimately get out of jail.

During the 2008 presidential election, candidates reached out to voters using the service. When a plane crashed into the Hudson River in January, a Twitter user posted the first photograph from the scene.

Although we're in the nascent stage of Twitter's existence and therefore have no idea how long it will be around, we do know it has more growing to do.

If you're not yet certain you want to start posting your own daily activities for everyone to read, you can still use the service as a resource for tips on finding a job and keeping up with industry news. Job seekers can follow people who will make your job search process easier, from the interviewing stage to the salary negotiations.

I follow many people whom I think give great advice, post informative articles and know what they're talking about. Seeing as the Twitter feed refreshes constantly so that I see new posts instantly, it's like having a scrolling news ticker about only the subjects I want to read. I suggest you do the same to improve your job search.

Here are the 10 job Tweeters you should be following.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- An Ohio death row inmate who says he is too overweight to be executed took his plea to the Supreme Court on Friday.

Richard Cooey, 41, and an accomplice were convicted of the 1986 murders of two college students.

Richard Cooey is scheduled to die by lethal injection Tuesday and has exhausted most of his state and federal appeals. Gov. Ted Strickland earlier Friday denied the 41-year-old prisoner's clemency petition. Cooey murdered two college students in 1986.

The justices were expected to decide whether he should receive a stay of execution, and whether to address the larger constitutional claims over when a convicted person is medically unfit for capital punishment.

His lawyers have argued that the inmate-- at 5-foot-7 and 267 pounds -- is "morbidly obese," and has gained about 70 pounds since his incarceration at age 19. Prison food and confinement in his cell for 23 hours a day, limiting his opportunities for exercise, contributed to his weight problem, his legal team said in recent court filings.

Cooey also says regular medication he takes for migraines will weaken the effectiveness of an anesthetic used in the a three-drug cocktail administered during execution. He says his veins are weakened because of his health issues, and the lethal drugs would amount to cruel and unusual punishment.

In 2003, one day before Cooey was scheduled to die, a judge stopped his execution on issues unrelated to his health claims.

A federal appeals court ruled Thursday that Cooey waited too long to raise the medical issues, saying he "knew of and could have filed suit over vein access prior to July 2005."

Cooey and a then-17-year-old accomplice were convicted of the brutal murders of Wendy Offredo and Dawn McCreery, students at the University of Akron. The men had been tossing concrete slabs onto Interstate 77, and one of them struck Offredo's car.

Pretending to rescue the women, Cooey and Clinton Dickens took them to a remote field, according to prosecutors. There, the students were subjected to 3Â½ hours of rape, torture, stabbings and fatal bludgeonings. Cooey had carved an "X" into the stomachs of both women, prosecutors said.

Each man blamed the other for delivering the fatal blows, but both were convicted of murder. Dickens received a life sentence because of his age.

Cooey tried to escape from death row in 2005, when corrections officials said he constructed a ladder from magazines and bedsheets in an effort to scale the barrier around an outdoor recreation area.

At an August clemency hearing, Jon Offredo, brother of one of the victims, said, "Our family has never gotten an apology from Richard Cooey. We've gotten blatant lies and excuses. Is an apology too much to ask? How could he commit such a heinous act and not feel regret?"

But Cooey's lawyer, Dana Cole, said his client is sorry for his crimes.

The high court has not offered clear guidelines on what medical standards need to be met before an inmate is eligible for death. But in a case five years ago, the justices allowed inmates to at least make a claim that their specific physical or medical issues could be cause to block an execution.

The high court had sided with a convicted Alabama killer who claimed his veins were so damaged from years of drug abuse that executioners might have to cut deeply into his flesh to administer the deadly drugs.

Writing for the unanimous court, then-Justice Sandra Day O'Connor said the court was not going to "open the floodgates to all manner of method-of-execution challenges," as Alabama feared. "Our holding is extremely limited." That inmate is still on death row.

Richard Dieter of the Death Penalty Information Center, a data-resource group that opposes capital punishment, said the Supreme Court indicated that "how you're going to be executed is a civil rights matter, the same as if you were discriminated [against] on the basis of race or gender or something like that."

A Washington state killer was given a reprieve in 1994 after claiming he was too obese to hang. Mitchell Rupe at one time was more than 425 pounds, but weight-loss surgery in prison had reduced that to 275 pounds over the years. Subsequent legal efforts to execute him failed. He died in prison two years ago from a long illness.

The Ohio case is Cooey v. Strickland.
