Saturday, Mar 15, 2014 03:48 PM PDT
 This Feb. 3, 2014 photo shows an unfinished monorail line, it construction delayed, that was slated to improve mobility during the World Cup, in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The World Cup was to have served as a stepping-out party announcing Brazil's arrival on the global stage. Instead the construction delays have become an embarrassment for many, stoking public anger over poor public services, the high cost of living and corruption scandals. Many Brazilians now say that even if their beloved soccer team wins the World Cup on July 13, the country will have already lost. (AP Photo/Andre Penner)CUIABA, Brazil (AP) — Pedestrians tiptoe across a road scarred with deep puddles, piles of gravel and a detour sign.

Saturday, Mar 15, 2014 09:37 AM PDT
 In this photo taken on Thursday, March 13, 2014, provided by the anti-government activist group Local Comity of Yabroud Town, which has been authenticated based on its contents and other AP reporting, a Syrian rebel looks through his binocular at one of the frontline of Yabroud town, the last rebel stronghold in Syria's mountainous Qalamoun region. Syria's uprising, which began with largely peace protests in March 2011, has evolved into a civil war with sectarian overtones. Islamic extremists, including foreign fighters and Syrian rebels who have taken up hard-line al-Qaida-style ideologies, have played an increasingly prominent role among fighters, dampening the West's support for the rebellion to overthrow Assad. (AP Photo/Local Comity of Yabroud Town)BEIRUT (AP) — Syrian troops advanced in a major rebel-held town near the Lebanese border amid heavy bombardment from warplanes, artillery and tanks as the country's bloody conflict marked its third anniversary Saturday, state media and activists said.

 In this picture taken on Wednesday, March 12, 2014, Syrian refugee children walk between their tents on their way to a makeshift school at their refugee encampment in the Lebanese-Syrian border town of Majdal Anjar, eastern Bekaa valley, Lebanon. More than 2 million of those who should be in school remain in Syria, where classrooms have been bombed, used as shelters or turned into military barracks. Another 300,000 Syrian children don't attend school in Lebanon, along with some 93,000 in Jordan, 78,000 in Turkey, 26,000 in Iraq and 4,000 in Egypt, UNICEF officials in Geneva said. Those numbers likely are higher, as UNICEF can't count the children whose parents didn't register with the United Nations refugee agency.
