decorated the small garden that wraps around the condominium
she owns at Country Pointe at Coram, a Medford gated community.

unlawful community rule at the complex that bans religious statues
in gardens and other common areas. More

(CNN) -- China last week successfully used a missile to destroy
an orbiting satellite, U.S. government officials told CNN
on Thursday, in a test that could undermine relations with
the West and pose a threat to satellites important to the
U.S. military.
According to a spokesman for the National Security Council,
the ground-based, medium-range ballistic missile knocked an
old Chinese weather satellite from its orbit about 537 miles
above Earth. The missile carried a "kill vehicle" and destroyed
the satellite by ramming it.
