NKOREA-US MISSIONARY
SEOUL, South Korea — A repentant American missionary set to be freed from North Korea after being arrested at the border on Christmas told Pyongyang's state media in an interview that he's ashamed of the "biased" view he once held of the communist nation. Breaking its silence about Robert Park's fate, North Korea announced Friday that the American would be released from custody after admitting to entering the country illegally and showing "sincere repentance" for the transgression.

LOS ANGELES — Tara Kolla fancied herself a green thumb-turned-green businesswoman when she planted an organic flower plot in her yard and sold poppies, sweet peas and zinnias at the local farmers market. Where Kolla saw her efforts as creating a lush sanctuary, her neighbors witnessed dusty pots, steaming compost, flies and a funky aroma on their tiny cul-de-sac. They complained to zoning officials and prevailed. By Raquel Maria Dillon.
