(CNN) -- Iran tested a missile-launching system and several types of short- and medium-range missiles Sunday, the state-run Press TV said.

A short-range missile is test-launched during war games in Qom, Iran, south of Tehran, on Sunday.

Earlier, the country's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps had said it would stage missile exercises beginning Sunday to promote the armed forces' defense capabilities.

The tests, which are expected to last until Monday, are code-named "Payghambar-e Azam 4" or "The Great Prophet 4," Press TV said.

The missiles, fired at targets around the country Sunday, included the Fateh-110, a short-range ground-to-ground missile, and Tondar-69, a short-range naval missile, the station said. Several models of medium-range Shahab missiles were tested at night, Press TV reported.  Watch Iranian missile tests Â»

The final stage of the tests will be held Monday morning, when Iran plans to test the long-range Shahab missile, the station said.

In May, Iran said it tested a surface-to-surface missile that is capable of reaching parts of Europe.

At the time, a White House official said actions in Iran were noteworthy.

"Of course, this is just a test, and obviously there is much work to be done before it can be built and deployed. But I see it as a significant step forward in terms of Iran's capacity to deliver weapons," said Gary Samore, special assistant to the president on nonproliferation.

The latest test follows Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's disclosure Friday that Iran was building a second uranium enrichment facility.  Watch analyst's view on missile tests, nuclear tensions Â»

The United States and Israel believe that Iran is seeking nuclear weapons under the guise of a civilian nuclear energy program.

Iran has denied the allegation.

(CNN) -- Ground-to-air missiles at the 2012 Olympic Games? It's not a new sport added to the London line-up, but proof that Britain's government is taking security seriously.

Defense secretary Phillip Hammond has confirmed that such weapons will be at the disposal of those tasked with ensuring public safety at the UK capital's summer showpiece.

He told parliament that a full range of options would be available for protecting the Games, which kick off on July 27.

Hammond was asked by his predecessor, Liam Fox, to confirm if a "full range of multilayered defense and deterrents" would be on hand, including surface-to-air missiles.

"I can assure him that all necessary measures to ensure the security and safety of the London Olympic Games will be taken including -- if the advice of the military is that it is required -- appropriate ground-to-air defenses," Hammond replied.

Earlier on Monday, British newspaper The Guardian had claimed the United States was planning to send 1,000 security personnel, including FBI agents, to the Olympics after developing concerns about arrangements.

The paper said that the UK government is having to field more and more questions on security from its U.S. counterpart, with one source saying of the White House: "They are being very demanding."

It also claimed the London Organizing Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games has decided to more than double the amount of security guards protecting the 32 Olympic sites across the country to 21,000 from 10,000.

The Guardian quoted the UK Home Office, responsible for home security, as saying its Olympic planning was "on track" and that the funding was in place.

"The government is committed to delivering a safe and secure Games that London, the UK and the world can enjoy," a spokesman said.

ROME, Italy (CNN) -- A sixth U.S. service member died Friday from injuries sustained when a Black Hawk helicopter crashed in northeastern Italy on Thursday, the U.S. military in Europe said.

The helicopter, carrying 11 U.S. military personnel, crashed Thursday afternoon about 22 miles from Aviano, Italy. Four people were killed and seven were injured in the crash, and two of the injured later died, the U.S. military said.

Treviso fire officials said one of the dead was a woman, and said no one on the ground was hurt.

The U.S. military said the helicopter was an Army H-60 Black Hawk attached to the 1st Battalion, 214th Aviation Regiment.

The military was not releasing the names of those killed, pending notification of the victims' families.

Police and fire officials said the craft crashed in an open area near the Piave River north of Treviso, between the towns of Maserata Sul Piave and Santa Lucia Di Piave.  Watch scenes of the crash site in northern Italy Â»

The helicopter appeared crumpled and charred in photos from the crash.

Italy's ANSA news agency said the helicopter crashed near the bridge of a major highway and the road was closed as a precaution.

ANSA said the helicopter had taken off from Aviano Air Base, but fire authorities could not confirm whether it was leaving or returning to the base.

The Black Hawk is considered the workhorse of the military's helicopter fleet. It is used in missions in Iraq and Afghanistan to carry troops and equipment.

The military has employed Black Hawks for about three decades. The helicopter's first combat mission was about 25 years ago.  E-mail to a friend

WASHINGTON (CNN)  -- With outrage mounting over AIG's $165 million in bonuses to executives, the president's chief economic adviser offered a new line of defense for the White House in an exclusive interview with CNN.

Larry Summers said an AIG meltdown was too risky for the economy to push too hard on executive bonuses.

Larry Summers suggested that if Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner had pushed the insurance giant too hard on the bonuses, AIG could have collapsed just like Lehman Brothers and sparked an even bigger crisis.

"Secretary Geithner has used all the legal authorities that are open to him to contain and limit the payment of bonuses," said Summers, chairman of the National Economic Council. "What he did not do, and what would have been irresponsible to do, as outrageous as these payments are, would have been to put at risk the stability of the financial system.

"To have courted the kind of disaster that followed the decision to let Lehman Brothers simply collapse might have felt good briefly, but it would have touched the lives of a huge number of Americans who would have unnecessarily become unemployed or seen destruction of their lifetime savings."

The collapse of the 158-year-old investment bank in September turned the U.S. crisis, based on the subprime loan debacle, into a global one, leading to credit freezes and plummeting markets nearly everywhere.

Summers said Geithner was notified about the AIG bonuses last week. The secretary tried to stop them, Summers said, but ran up against a legal contract.

"Secretary Geithner courageously has gone after these bonuses and will continue to go after these bonuses in a very aggressive way, but we can't suspend the rule of law and we can't put the whole economy at risk," said Summers.

Asked whether AIG could get more bailout funds down the road, Summers suggested the door is open to more taxpayer money, despite the bonus controversy.  Watch senators' plan to retrieve money Â»

"It is wrong to govern out of anger," said Summers. "We have to recognize what we are angry about, do something about it. That's why we are focused on a new resolution regime as part of a sweeping overhaul of the financial system.

" ... But we can't let anger stop us from taking the steps that are necessary to maintain the stability of the financial system, keep credit flowing."  Watch tempers rise over bonuses Â»

Summers said President Obama's entire economic team is working hard to mitigate the problems caused by bank failures, bailouts and credit freezes and boost the country's economy.

"There's one lesson of the history of financial crisis that no one can argue with, and that is that they all end, and this one will, too," he said. "And if we are able to maintain the right policies, we'll bring forward the day when it ends, and -- probably even more important -- we'll have a sounder stronger economic expansion at the end of it."

The former treasury secretary is not quite as bullish about a turnaround, however, as Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, who predicted the recession may be over by the end of 2009.

Asked about Bernanke's prediction, Summers said he was upbeat about some aspects of the economy -- such as a 22 percent spike in housing starts and recent upticks in the stock market -- but said he was cautious about making any grand pronouncements.

Summers told CNN that while he's confident of a turnaround, "just what day the turn will come isn't something that I would dare to forecast."

"Something that the president has made clear to us is his approach and the approach he wants us to take is a recognition that we don't panic when there's a bad number, bad day on the markets, and we don't become euphoric when there's a good day in the markets, or a good number," Summers said.

Asked specifically about Bernanke's prediction on CBS' "60 Minutes" about the recession ending this year and 2010 potentially being a year of recovery, Summers demurred.

"We always are at pains to recognize when we talk to the president that economic forecasting is the most imperfect of sciences," said Summers. "Many people would say it wasn't a science at all. We stress the uncertainties in this situation."

(CNN) -- Anita Davenport's curiosity about her family's past began with the photographs that surrounded her. She said she wanted to know the stories behind the images of her parents and uncles.

Anita Davenport's grandfather, Walter, was stationed in Battle Creek, Michigan, during World War I.

The stories she found -- and shared during several phone conversations from her home in Culver City, California -- parallel the African-American journey during the past century.

The search took her to 1894, when her grandfather, Walter, was born in Stone Mountain, Georgia.

Walter Davenport moved to Wedowee, Alabama. During World War I, Davenport was stationed at Fort Custer in Battle Creek, Michigan, Anita said.

Thousands of other African-Americans were also on the move, mainly to the Northeast and the Midwest, eager for opportunities related to the war and industrialization, according to Howard Dodson, a historian and the director of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture.

Walter Davenport later returned to Alabama, married and had nine children, one of whom was Anita's father, Frank.

Walter was fond of Battle Creek and regaled his family with stories, Anita said. The stories must have been convincing. The eldest of his nine children, also named Walter, moved north to Battle Creek in 1951.

Frank Davenport, Anita's father, later joined his older brother in Michigan. Anita was born in Battle Creek.

Between 1940 and 1970, more than 5 million African-Americans left the South, migrating to cities like Boston, Massachusetts; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Chicago, Illinois; Detroit, Michigan, and New York.

"You have this incredible movement of black people across the width and breadth of this land and [they] establish themselves as a national presence, rather than a regional one [based] in the South," Dodson said. Interactive: Explore the African-American journey

That movement of African-Americans -- called "the Great Migration" -- had a clear and direct impact on the country.

"It made race a national issue," said Nicholas Lemann, author of "The Promised Land: The Great Black Migration and How It Changed America."

"You could say it was always a national issue and have a very powerful case ... but it was possible to say, 'It's a Southern issue,'" he said. "After the Great Migration, it was no longer possible."

African-American culture was interacting with other cultures across the whole of American society, Lemann said, "affecting everything from government policy and music to sports and everything in between."

The return South

Civil rights legislation passed during the 1960s helped set the stage for the next era of African-American migration: A return to the South.

Around 1970, many African-Americans began moving back to the South, historians and demographers say. The trend accelerated during the 1990s and this decade, according to William Frey, a demographer at the Brookings Institution, a Washington-based think-tank.

From 1965 through 1970, the South experienced a net migration loss -- the number of people who moved into the region compared to the number of people who moved out -- of more than 287,000 African-Americans.

Thirty years later, the numbers were nearly the opposite. From 1995 through 2000, the South saw a gain of nearly 350,000 African-Americans. iReport.com: Share your family's story

The statistics come from an analysis of census data conducted by Frey in 2004.

The numbers of African-Americans returning to the South are not as large as those seen during the Great Migration, but the trend has resonance because of the place the region occupies in black history and mythology.

The ascendance of the South's economy was a key factor behind the return migration, Frey said. "I think there's a push and a pull involved with the movement," he said.

"A lot of it had to do with the decline of heavy industry, which employed a lot of blacks and blue-collar whites, in a whole set of Rust Belt states," he said. Meanwhile, states like Georgia, Florida, Texas, and increasingly the Carolinas, Virginia and Tennessee were booming, Frey said.

Civil rights legislation and a more educated society made the South more tolerant and hospitable. The booming economy provided jobs and opportunity. But there is also an emotional element for many African-Americans when it comes to the region.

"I think a big part, aside from the economy, is the kind of historic roots that blacks have had there," Frey said.

"There is something culturally attractive about the South to the African-American population even though they spent many decades surviving brutal treatment during the Jim Crow period and a lot of the racial discrimination that occurred."

Dodson, the historian, said many people, especially retirees, made decisions to return out of a desire to connect with ancestral homes, churches and communities.

Anita's parents still live in Battle Creek, though they spend the winters in the South.

Her uncle, Walter Davenport, moved to Stone Mountain, the place of his father's birth, in 1998.

When asked for the reasons behind her uncle's move, Anita said it was a love of the land, the slower pace and something almost "mysterious."

"They wanted to get out of the South, but it still calls them," she said of her family's journey during the past few decades. There's "something about the land and it just calls them back like a song."

(Entertainment Weekly) -- How are the elements of the charming, traditional romantic comedy "The Proposal" like the checklist of a charming, traditional bride? Let me count the ways ...

Ryan Reynolds wonders if marrying his boss, Sandra Bullock, is a good thing in "The Proposal."

Something old: The story of a haughty woman and an exasperated man who hate each other -- until they realize they love each other -- is proudly square, in the tradition of rom-coms from the 1940s and '50s. Or is it straight out of Shakespeare's 1590s?

Sandra Bullock is the shrew, Margaret, a pitiless, high-powered New York book editor first seen multitasking in the midst of her aerobic workout (thus you know she needs to get ... loved). Ryan Reynolds is Andrew, her put-upon foil of an executive assistant, a younger man who accepts abuse as a media-industry hazing ritual.

And there the two would remain, locked in mutual disdain, except for Margaret's fatal flaw -- she's Canadian. (So is "X-Men's" Wolverine; I thought our neighbors to the north were supposed to be nice.)

Margaret, with her visa expired, faces deportation and makes the snap executive decision to marry Andrew in a green-card wedding. It's an offer the underling can't refuse if he wants to keep his job. (A sexual-harassment lawsuit would ruin the movie's mood.)

OK, he says. But first comes a visit to the groom-to-be's family in Alaska. Amusing complications ensue.

Something new: The chemical energy between Bullock and Reynolds is fresh and irresistible. In her mid-40s, Bullock has finessed her dewy America's Sweetheart comedy skills to a mature, pearly texture; she's lovable both as an uptight careerist in a pencil skirt and stilettos, and as a lonely lady in a flapping plaid bathrobe.

Reynolds, meanwhile, is just refining his dry comedy thing, learning to get the most from his deceptive cute-face looks.

Who knew these two would, hmmm, complete each other? Working together, both are surer and more disciplined in delivering their comedy goods. iReport.com: "Proposal" has "plenty of laughs"

Something borrowed: The boisterous family dynamics. The eccentric supporting players (none more extreme than Oscar Nunez from "The Office"). The snappy screwball dialogue in Pete Chiarelli's script. And the way Anne Fletcher directs like a camp counselor wrangling bunkmates ... it's all been seen before. For a reason. These elements work.

Something blue: As the wise and saucy matriarch of the family, the divine 87-year-old Betty White has fun as one hot grandma -- and inspires her younger stars to say "I do," too.

(CNN) -- The mayor of New Orleans, Louisiana, has been quarantined in China after possible exposure to the H1N1 virus, his office said Sunday.

New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin flew to China as part of an economic development trip, his office said.

Mayor Ray Nagin, who traveled to China on an economic development trip, flew on a plane that carried a passenger being treated for symptoms suspected to be from the virus, commonly known as the swine flu virus, the mayor's office said in a statement.

Nagin, his wife and a member of his security detail have been quarantined in Shanghai, China, though all three are symptom free, the statement said.

"The mayor is being treated with utmost courtesy by Chinese officials," the statement said.

Ceeon Quiett, the mayor's director of communications, told CNN that Nagin had been sitting beside a passenger who "exhibited the symptoms of H1N1," but Nagin showed no signs of illness.

"We have talked with him and he is in good spirits," Quiett said, adding that there was no indication how long the quarantine would last.

While not confirming identities, the Shanghai Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention said three Americans are being quarantined in a hotel called the Jinjiang Inn in the Nanhui district of Shanghai.

(CNN) -- The World Bank said that it is increasing funding to the war-wracked and drought-stricken Horn of Africa to $1.88 billion from more than $500 million, a generous gesture that coincides with a U.N. mini-summit on the devastated region.

"Countries in the Horn of Africa that are facing one of the worst droughts in more than half a century, causing mounting malnutrition, food insecurity, and displacement of people," the D.C.-based bank said in a statement on Saturday.

The announcement comes as the first week of U.N. debates wrapped up Saturday where delegates continued to outline their visions for peace and global security.

"In Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia and Djibouti, more than 13 million people need our help," said U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon during the summit. "In Somalia, famine has spread through large areas of the south."

Ban said three-quarters of a million people are "at imminent risk of starvation" as a result of war, rising food costs and droughts that have continually plagued the region.

He described the situation in the Horn of Africa "as the worst humanitarian crisis in the world."

"Somalia will never be free of the threat of famine until it has peace and stability," said the U.N. chief. "We could save many more lives if we were given free access to areas under the control of Al-Shabaab."

The al Qaeda-linked group has been waging an insurgency against Somalia's transitional government since 2006.

FALLS CHURCH, Virginia (CNN)  -- Michelle Mack has turned medical thinking upside down.

The right side of Michelle Mack's brain rewired itself to take over functions controlled by the left.

Born with only half a brain, Mack can speak normally, graduated from high school and has an uncanny knack for dates.

At 27, doctors determined that the right side of her brain had essentially rewired itself to make up for function that was likely lost during a pre-birth stroke. But her childhood and young adult years were fraught with frustration.

"It was very hard for me," Mack said. "It was very hard for me growing up. No one knew the truth about my brain."

Mack's parents, Carol and Wally, realized shortly after her birth that something was wrong.

"There wasn't a group to turn to," said Carol Mack. "Michelle didn't have cerebral palsy, I knew that. She didn't have Down's syndrome, I knew that. I had no place to turn."

Ten years ago, Dr. Jordan Grafman, chief of the Cognitive Neuroscience Section at the National Institutes of Health, finally diagnosed the problem.  Watch how Mack's brain healed itself Â»

An MRI scan revealed she was missing nearly all the left side of her brain. While it was clear Mack has some problems, Grafman said he and the family were shocked by the extent of the damage.

"We were surprised to see the extent of the lesion in her brain, which basically took away the left side of her brain," said Grafman. "There's some very deep structures remaining, but the surface of her brain, the cortex is 95 percent gone and some of the deeper structures, structures that control movement, are missing. These are all structures that are important for movement, behavior, cognition."

The only answer, Grafman said, was that Mack's brain has rewired itself. The remaining half took over some of the essential functions that are normally done by the left, such as speaking and reading. That rewiring, however, came at a cost.

"Michelle has fairly normal language abilities, certainly basic language abilities, she can construct a sentence, she can understand instructions, she can find words when she's talking, but actually she has some trouble in some aspects of visual-spatial processing," said Grafman.

"It's quite possible that in her learning, in her development, when the right hemisphere either took over or developed some of the language abilities that it cost her in some of the skills that are normally mediated by the right side of the brain," added Grafman.

In the 10 years since Grafman first diagnosed Mack, she has seen some intellectual functions improve, the doctor said. Recovery has not been perfect, however. Mack still struggles with abstract concepts and becomes easily lost in unfamiliar surroundings.

The diagnosis explained why Mack had experienced a lifetime of difficulty controlling her emotions.

"He's helped us understand the reason why I tend to throw fits, temper tantrums," she said. "It was because I was missing half my brain."

Mack will always have some problems, but dad Wally Mack said that Grafman's diagnosis and treatment answered a lot of questions and gave him hope.

"Dr. Grafman explained that the right hemisphere is taking over, and it might take her a little while longer to get there with all the rewiring that has to take place," he said. "But that told us all these bad days are behind us and there are nothing but good days ahead."

Michelle Mack is now 37 and lives with her mother and father. She works from home doing data entry for her church. She is fairly independent, pays rent and can do most household chores. She realizes she'll need help for the rest of her life but wanted to tell her story to make it clear that she is not helpless.

"I wanted to do this so people like producers, photographers and security guards and police officers learn about people like me," she said, "that I'm normal but have special needs, and that there are a lot people like me, so that they could be more understanding."

CNN's Campbell Brown contributed to this report.

text: Mack

text: rewired

text: lost

text: Section

text: finally

text: problem

text: Watch

text: how

text: Mack

text: 's

text: brain

text: healed

text: itself

text: Â

text: An

text: MRI

text: scan

text: revealed

text: she

text: was

text: missing

text: nearly

text: all

text: the

text: left

text: side

text: of

text: her

text: brain

text: While

text: it

text: was

text: clear

text: Mack

text: has

text: some

text: problems

text: Grafman

text: said

text: he

text: and

text: the

text: family

text: were

text: shocked

text: by

text: the

text: extent

text: of

text: the

text: damage

text: We

text: were

text: surprised

text: to

text: see

text: the

text: extent

text: of

text: the

text: lesion

text: in

text: her

text: brain

text: which

text: basically

text: took

text: away

text: the

text: left

text: side

text: of

text: her

text: brain

text: said

text: Grafman

text: There

text: 's

text: some

text: very

text: deep

text: structures

text: remaining

text: but

text: the

text: surface

text: of

text: her

text: brain

text: the

text: cortex

text: is

text: percent

text: gone

text: and

text: some

text: of

text: the

text: deeper

text: structures

text: structures

text: that

text: control

text: movement

text: are

text: missing

text: These

text: are

text: all

text: structures

text: that

text: are

text: important

text: for

text: movement

text: behavior

text: cognition

text: The

text: only

text: answer

text: Grafman

text: said

text: was

text: that

text: Mack

text: 's

text: brain

text: has

text: rewired

text: itself

text: The

text: remaining

text: half

text: took

text: over

text: some

text: of

text: the

text: essential

text: functions

text: that

text: are

text: normally

text: done

text: by

text: the

text: left

text: such

text: as

text: speaking

text: and

text: reading

text: That

text: rewiring

text: however

text: came

text: at

text: a

text: cost

text: Michelle

text: has

text: fairly

text: normal

text: language

text: abilities

text: certainly

text: basic

text: language

text: abilities

text: she

text: can

text: construct

text: a

text: sentence

text: she

text: can

text: understand

text: instructions

text: she

text: can

text: find

text: words

text: when

text: she

text: 's

text: talking

text: but

text: actually

text: she

text: has

text: some

text: trouble

text: in

text: some

text: aspects

text: of

text: visual

text: spatial

text: processing

text: said

text: Grafman

text: It

text: 's

text: quite

text: possible

text: that

text: in

text: her

text: learning

text: in

text: her

text: development

text: when

text: the

text: right

text: hemisphere

text: either

text: took

text: over

text: or

text: developed

text: some

text: of

text: the

text: language

text: abilities

text: that

text: it

text: cost

text: her

text: in

text: some

text: of

text: the

text: skills

text: that

text: are

text: normally

text: mediated

text: by

text: the

text: right

text: side

text: of

text: the

text: brain

text: added

text: Grafman

text: In

text: the

text: years

text: since

text: Grafman

text: first

text: diagnosed

text: Mack

text: she

text: has

text: seen

text: some

text: intellectual

text: functions

text: improve

text: the

text: doctor

text: said

text: Recovery

text: has

text: not

text: been

text: perfect

text: however

text: Mack

text: still

text: struggles

text: with

text: abstract

text: concepts

text: and

text: becomes

text: easily

text: lost

text: in

text: unfamiliar

text: surroundings

text: The

text: diagnosis

text: explained

text: why

text: Mack

text: had

text: experienced

text: a

text: lifetime

text: of

text: difficulty

text: controlling

text: her

text: emotions

text: He

text: 's

text: helped

text: us

text: understand

text: the

text: reason

text: why

text: I

text: tend

text: to

text: throw

text: fits

text: temper

text: tantrums

text: she

text: said

text: It

text: was

text: because

text: I

text: was

text: missing

text: half

text: my

text: brain

text: Mack

text: will

text: always

text: have

text: some

text: problems

text: but

text: dad

text: Wally

text: Mack

text: said

text: that

text: Grafman

text: 's

text: diagnosis

text: and

text: treatment

text: answered

text: a

text: lot

text: of

text: questions

text: and

text: gave

text: him

text: hope

text: Dr.

text: Grafman

text: explained

text: that

text: the

text: right

text: hemisphere

text: is

text: taking

text: over

text: and

text: it

text: might

text: take

text: her

text: a

text: little

text: while

text: longer

text: to

text: get

text: there

text: with

text: all

text: the

text: rewiring

text: that

text: has

text: to

text: take

text: place

text: he

text: said

text: But

text: that

text: told

text: us

text: all

text: these

text: bad

text: days

text: are

text: behind

text: us

text: and

text: there

text: are

text: nothing

text: but

text: good

text: days

text: ahead

text: Michelle

text: Mack

text: is

text: now

text: and

text: She

text: realizes

text: she

text: 'll

text: need

text: help

text: for

text: the

text: rest

text: of

text: her

text: life

text: but

text: wanted

text: to

text: tell

text: her

text: story

text: to

text: make

text: it

text: clear

text: that

text: she

text: is

text: not

text: helpless

text: I

text: wanted

text: to

text: do

text: this

text: so

text: people

text: guards

text: and

text: police

text: officers

text: learn

text: about

text: said

text: that

text: I

text: 'm

text: normal

text: but

text: have

text: special

text: needs

text: and

text: that

text: there
